Amber Rose in yellow at the 18th Annual ESPY Awards

Huh. We think this is possibly the first time we’ve seen Amber Rose in something that didn’t scream, “Look! Look how wacky and zany and totally out-there edgy I am!” Instead, she walked the red carpet at the 18th Annual ESPY Awards last night wearing a yellow Natalia Romano gown with flounces a-plenty. For some reason, this is giving off an 80s vibe to us, but it could be the pale pink lipstick that’s doing it, who knows.

Is this an improvement on Amber’s usual style, though, or are you disappointed to see her opt for something a little more conventional?

If you’re wearing sunglasses when it’s dark out, it’s generally a sign that you’re either:

a) A fashion victim

or

b) Anna Wintour

Amber Rose definitely isn’t Anna Wintour, but she does seem to be requiring the help of an assistant to walk these days, possibly because she’s basically walking around blindfolded. Ah, the dedication some people have to fashion!

Amber rocked up at Chanel’s Couture show in Paris this week wearing a gold hooded bodycon dress, and with boyfriend Kanye West on her arm. This is the third time The Fashion Police have had to pull her up in as many days: it’s almost as if Amber WANTS to be caught. A cry for help, perhaps? We think WE’D probably cry for help too if we found ourselves forced to wear that dress!

Case Closed: Amber Rose (again!) and the Louis Vuitton mink bum bag

LFI Kanyewest6 Case Closed: Amber Rose (again!) and the Louis Vuitton mink bum bag

The Fashion Police would like to say a very special “thank you” this week to Amber Rose, who’s been helping us with a number of our enquiries: we’re sure you’ll remember how Amber helped us answer the question “Who the hell would wear THAT jacket?” yesterday, and now she’s also been of great help in solving the mysterious case of the Louis Vuitton mink bum bag/fanny pack.

We had to delve deep into our archive to find the original file on this one. Only the most dedicated of readers will remember the original article on this, from December 2006, but Amber obviously has a long memory, and has been patiently waiting for just the right occasion to wear this bad boy.

We originally wanted to speak to this item in relation to three separate allegations:

1. That is was a bum bag

2. A MINK bum bag

3. That it is covered in Louis Vuitton’s distinctive logo, which some people would argue is more or less the same as having “Fashion Victim” stamped all over your clothes.

Now that we’ve had the chance to review the new evidence supplied by Amber Rose however, we’d like to add a forth charge:

4. It is freaking HUGE. Seriously, we had no idea. It’s like the size of a normal bag, only you wear it around your waist. We guess some people might find that handy, but do you, readers? Do you?

Case Closed: Amber Rose in Bless’ orange fox fur jacket

FP 4403433 ANG Celebs Paris Case Closed: Amber Rose in Bless orange fox fur jacketWhen we first brought Bless’s bright orange fox-trimmed jacket to your attention last August, we thought this was one fashion mystery that would have to remain unsolved, for surely no one would want to wear such an item – especially considering the fact that it comes with a $1,777 price tag?

As our mothers are always telling us, though, there really is something for everyone, and one woman’s crime of fashion is another woman’s Most Wanted. As if to prove that point, here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend, Amber Rose, wearing one of the aforementioned jackets in Paris last week. Looks like Amber missed the ‘Leggings Are Not Pants’ memo too, hmm?

Interestingly, one of our first reactions to this jacket last year was that it somehow looked like it had been Photoshopped – something we put down to way it had been photographed. Now we see it in “real life”, so to speak, though, it STILL looks Photoshopped. Just one of the many mysteries about this item, we suppose. Still, at least we can now close the case on the question “Who would WEAR this?”
