Amber Shuffles Through Her First Fashion Show

Luminaries such as Russell Simmons and Jojo trekked to the Ukrainian Institute of America on the Upper East Side yesterday evening to watch Amber Rose walk in her very first runway show for four-year-old label Celestino. Amber walked in the finale look: a white, strapless wedding dress with a long train. How does she measure up as a model? A few of her colleagues seemed to struggle with the sky-high heels, and she was no exception, sadly (either that or her dress was too tight). She kept a poker face, with her shoulders back, but appeared to be taking short, stilted steps. Luckily, she didn't trip on her hemline, so for that we chalk it up as runway success.

Russell Simmons said he came to see Amber and the clothes, though we saw him backstage meeting designer Sergio Guadarrama for the first time. Amber, not wanting to do interviews (perhaps because of her man Kanye's behavior the night before at the Video Music Awards), fled immediately after the show. But Guadarrama explained he decided to cast Amber a month ago. "We requested her specifically," he said backstage. "I mean, we had the choice of big models, but we wanted Amber Rose. I mean, she’s Amber Rose, so she was going to close our show no matter what." Though he cast many very skinny models in the show, Guadarrama applauds Amber's real-woman's figure. "I honestly think she’s going to be a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry," he said. Did he think the fashion industry was ready to accept her as she is? "Well, they should; she’s a person," he said, adding she was a "natural" and not nervous at all before the show. What is she like as a person? "Oh my God she’s so sweet — like the sweetest girl you have ever met."

she looks really nasty with those tattoos. They distract from the dress

i agree with 8:39 and i was thinking the same thing. something doesn't seem right about wearing a beautiful wedding dress and that huge ghetto tattoo. i've got a few tats myself and if i find a man that doesn't make me want to punch him daily and i get married, i plan to cover my tats with makeup.

and amber rose in a WHITE WEDDING DRESS?!?!?! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! the bisexual gold digging stripper in a WHITE wedding dress?! doesn't white mean pure? like this bitch has a chance in hell of someone wifing her up anyway. she's arm candy, she's not wifey material. i think kanye is starting to see that amber isn't good for the soul. this chick knows how to wear an outfit though.

I agree with you, I was feeling Amber Rose in this dress either. It didn't seem like too many people were looking at her in this picture. I guess her 15 minutes of fame are running down already. I hope Kanye realizes that this EYE CANDY is dragging him down. Most strippers are just eye candy. She's probably done many things sexually for money, ye why would you want something like this. i don't care what she looks like.
