The INSIDER Summary:
The INSIDER Summary:- Known for her usual bleach blonde buzz cut, Amber Rose left fans in shock when she showed up at the VMAs in a wig.
- Rose channeled old-school glam with her VMAs look.
- Some fans didn't even recognize that it was Amber Rose until they got a closer look.
- Rose looked happy standing alongside her new boyfriend 21 Savage.
Amber Rose is one of those celebrities with a very distinct look: Body for days, glowy, golden makeup, and buzzed bleach blonde hair that almost makes her look bald. That's why Rose wearing a wig at the 2017 VMAs felt like such a shock — and as usual, Twitter wasn't ready.
Let's ignore the fact that for many of us, the idea of securely attaching a seamless wig to a basically bald head is pretty confounding. Somehow, Rose made the whole thing look easy — even her hairline is flawless. It's an unconventionally old-school glam look for the influencer, who usually goes for wild outfits and almost never strays from her natural, barely-there hair — the star loves wigs, but rarely on the red carpet.
At the 2017 MTV VMAs, Rose paired her new hair look with a cutout black sequined gown, statement diamond earrings, and a dark burgundy lip. Twitter definitely had to take a minute when Rose hit the carpet — and some of them didn't even recognize her.
Here's Rose standing beside boyfriend 21 Savage, looking like a completely different person:
Naturally, Twitter was shook.

— Kariana Taylor (@KayTee_Radio) August 27, 2017Rose has always known how to keep people talking — and rocking this glamorous lace front was just another one of her tricks. The bald has always given her fans life, but it turns out that a few (or several hundred thousand) extra strands can't keep Amber Rose from shining.
