Even though the new season of “Glee” has just begun, my girl crush on Amber Riley is in full swing. I truly enjoy watching her sing and dance, as she is the first African American woman to win “Dancing With The Stars.” Amber is a star in every sense of the word due to her talents. But, she also has a knack for style, proving that curves are an absolute fashion must-have. Those looking to snag Ms. Riley’s look can make direct purchases from her closet on her site, RileyLand Fashions, where items quickly sell out. In the meantime, have a look at some of our favorite ensembles from this week’s “Star Style,” Amber Riley.
Amber looks simply chic in this a-line lace dress, which perfectly balances out her shape.
When it comes to suits, every color gives its own distinct message. This cobalt blue suit means business, but it also suggests a laid-back sense of optimism, making it perfect for casual days in the office.
Leggings often get a bad rap, but if and when they are paired with a tunic and cute jacket — as seen on Amber — you’re good to go.
A dress with color-blocked panels is a curvy girl’s sartorial best friend.
Amber looks classy in this radiant red gown, with ruching in the right places.
This empire dress silhouette looks amazing on Amber’s shape. The deep pockets accentuate her curves, and the bright yellow bodice draws the eyes up.
When getting dressed, it’s always best to accent one part of the body, and this is something that Amber does well. The diagonal black and white stripes draws the eye to the lower half.
Between the corset-inspired lace bodice and the asymmetrical hemline — this black dress is one subtly sexy number!
Wearing a bold shoe with this black and white color-blocked dress would have been the wrong move. Amber nailed the look by adding a simple black heel with a touch of color on the ankle-strap. After all, it is those small details that count.
It’s one thing to wear a dress that complements your figure, but another to wear one that compliments your complexion. This gem tone really makes her sparkle.
Skirt shapes come and go, but when you have a pencil skirt in your closet — you have the classics covered.
Belts aren’t the only wardrobe item to cinch in a waist and create an hourglass figure. A peplum does the trick, just as well.
