Amber Rose shows off a drastic new look: pretty or too Nicki Minaj?

Wiz Khalifa Amber Rose

Here’s a photo of Amber Rose (with her partner, Wiz Khalifa) on June 4 while rocking her usual buzzcut on Instagram. She was also sporting the same length hair a few weeks ago at the Billboard Awards. Now, Amber has suddently sprouted a head full of booty-length extensions and is Instagramming it up to show them off. Actually, I don’t know if it’s possible that these can be extensions at all — don’t stylists usually have to anchor extensions (especially heavy ones like this) to existing hair? Like, Amber’s hair would need to be at least a half inch long to make extensions like this work, so this could just be a wig. You be the judge.

This is quite the transformation, isn’t it? Amber has pretty much changed her entire look with this new hair along with a very drastic fake tan and technicolour makeup. The effect is very “Nicki Minaj,” and I think Amber looked a lot better with her buzz cut. She really rocked the bald-headed look like no one else, and I always admired the sheer guts of her decision to not hide behind a curtain of hair. Her old look really made her standout and showed off her gorgeous features, but this new “hair” makes her look like just another wannabe. Oh well.

Amber has also been working very hard to lose her baby weight, and she recently revealed to E! Online that she got up to 202 pounds while while pregnant but has already lost over 30 pounds by exercising every day with a trainer. If she’s losing that weight for her self, that’s great, but I suspect that Wiz Khalifa would love her no matter what. He seriously adores her, and it shows. Speaking of Wiz, Amber has posted a few photos of their new son, Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz. Look at how happy Wiz looks! And those baby feet are just delicious.

    Well I think she looks great and nothing like that Nicky person.

      AND she dodged a bullet not ending up with Kanye.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I think she looks great, has a way better face than Nicki.

      Seriously, though…if you had a bald head why NOT play around with wigs once in a while? It would be so easy to change your look because you wouldn’t have to worry about it being lumpy, stray hairs poking out, etc.

  2. DanaG says:

    She is way more pretty bald just looks like another wannabe. Cute baby feet and he does love her!

    • LadyBird83 says:

      Like her bald too.

    • Shan says:

      She definitely looks better bald, the long hair makes her look like all the other cookie cutter women in hip-hop.
      That said, she sure looks super happy with Wiz and I bet part of that has to do with being away from Kanye.

  3. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    She looks good but I liked her more with her previous look – it was different, I feel like she looks like everyone else now. She still looks hot though!

    • Rhea says:

      ITA. Her usual buzzcut is what makes her different than others. But you know, I also think it’s find to change her appearance once in a while. She might feel like wanting to do some experimenting after gave birth to her cute baby. I was like that too only the other way around—I chopped my hair off coz I didn’t have much time to wash and dried my long hair before my baby woke up from her nap. 😀

  4. marie says:

    I think she’s pretty either way, look at those little feet!

  5. Rikki says:

    She looked better bald

  6. kaligula says:

    At first glance I thought it was January Jones. Amber is blessed with much beauty obviously. Happy for her and her mate on the birth of their child.

  7. Launicaangelina says:

    It’s amazing to see her and Wiz together and see their genuine joy. Then, I can’t help think of how polar opposite Kanye and Kim look. If the cheating rumors are true, it’s funny to see karma in action.

    • Zoid says:

      I know! It’s ridiculously cute to see how happy he looks with her. I’ve never seen a famous rapper look SO overjoyed to be near his kid and wife. It’s refreshing.

      • anon says:

        i agree. i actually believe wiz is faithful. he doesn’t come off as a scumbag cheater who only cares about himself, like most of the men in the hip hop field.

  8. Rinny says:

    I agree she looks fabulous bald – but she looks good with the wig on too.

    I would be sick of having had the same hairstyle for years too!

  9. Amanduh says:

    She is ridiculously beautiful! Those lips, that skin, that bone structure…hair, no hair – she’s just down right gorge.

  10. eliza says:

    I think she looks rather attractive.

  11. Jenna says:

    I’m not getting ‘Nicki’ vibes from her at all. Maybe if you’d said one of the Braxtons, I would’ve said yes. Though I prefer the buzzed hair, she really does has a gorgeous face either way.

  12. pfeiffer87 says:

    I don’t think she’s changed up her look – I can see her rocking that outfit/makeup with the buzzcut. It’s a wig.

  13. Hautie says:

    Dang, Amber done went to the wig maker and got herself a big ass wig! 🙂

    But it is so much better for your natural hair, to wear the wigs.

    Hair extensions are not your friend. Ever. They will only end up destroying your natural hair.

    And you having to cut off all you hair.

    So buy a good looking wig or fall… and save your natural hair!

    • janie says:

      She looks gorgeous!! I love these 2 together! Amber sure traded up with Wiz! This is the sweetest couple! She is beautuful either way!

  14. menlisa says:

    Nicki wishes she looked as good as her.
    I love her and Wiz together!

  15. TOPgirl says:

    Well..there’s always room for change. Let the girl enjoy it. She looks great!

  16. AlmondJoy says:

    She’s worn wigs many times before, it’s just for fun. I’m sure the new look isn’t permanent.

  17. Sherry says:

    She’s gorgeous either way!

  18. MonicaQ says:

    I think she likes her buzzcut, this is just something different for a hot minute. I remember reading a report where she cried because a little girl wrote her and said that Amber Rose being bald helped her go through chemo better because girls could have no hair too and still be pretty. Still makes me tear up.

  19. StormsMama says:

    She looks grrreat.

    The bald look showed just how pretty her face is but I can get why as a new mom she might want a new look. Seems to me she is just mixing it up and they look happy. So they’re having fun.
    She always dressed wacky.
    Not really loving the implication that she looks bad and we should attack her for wanting some hair. How many of us would go bald?!

    • Stoner says:

      Exactly – she’s dressing and wearing her makeup the same as she always has. The only thing different is the hair, and I think she rocks it.

      Love the pic of Wiz and Bash – capturing moments like these are everything to mothers and later, their children.

  20. teehee says:

    Anyone can put on a wig, massive fake lashes, neon lipstick, and look different.

  21. Jesscar says:

    Lana del Rey x Nicki Minaj = this

  22. G says:

    Dear Amanda, This is how you rock a wig like a “bad b*tch”. Please take note next time you try hard.

  23. wonderwoman21 says:

    I wonder if kim k feels jealous at how loving of a father wiz khalifa is to amber rose’s baby, considering kim k and kanye cheated together when kanye was still with amber. Kaaarma, keep kanye.

  24. dahlianoir says:

    what I love about her is that she keeps her baby’s face hidden. You can see an arm, some feet but not his face. She still keeps some privacy to protect him. And obviously how she’s so lucky in love, they all look fab and happy i’m puking rainbow.

  25. Jade says:

    She’s just experimenting so I think it’s fine and fun. I prefer her bald look because it was so unique and she still looked very good. She really does have a pretty face and I suspect even without makeup she may still look striking. I don’t really like her fashion sense though. Sometimes I wish she would wear “classy” clothes sometimes like a nice wrap dress or something. She would still exude sexy. I’m not saying her clothes reflect her morals, I just wanna see something different than the rap music video gal look. Like when Nicole Richie changed her style.

  26. Lee says:

    Amber is actually beautiful. Nicki is actually not. There is no comparison.

  27. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    I think she looks pretty either way – bald or with long hair.

  28. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    She looks gorgeous either way, but in the first pic of her I thought I was looking at Lana Del Ray at first.

  29. xoxokaligrl says:

    I thought it was Nicki Minaj at first glance… Either way they both look awful.. But they look like a cute couple in love.. Unlike Kim and Kanye..

  30. Isabella says:

    She looks gorgeous!

  31. Kiara says:

    It’s a wig geniuses.

  32. emma says:

    I love them. She looks really good. DAMN I wish I could look good regardless of how I wear my hair.

  33. MNW says:

    She looks like Lana Del Rey, with a prettier skin tone and no bad plastic surgery. I love her buzz cut. Anyone can rock long hair and look good, but rocking that short hair is hard to do and she looks stunning with it. Pretty either way.

  34. vvvoid says:

    Wiz is awesome. He’s a role model in a lot of ways. What a great dude. Polar opposite of Kanye, as Amber is the polar opposite of Kim. So fitting.

  35. Lau says:

    beautiful either way, cute family
