Amber Rose reveals her Pnina Tornai wedding dress: lovely or trashy?

Amber Rose

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa got married in July, 2013 in a tiny, low-key ceremony. They held the actual wedding party a month later. We never saw photos from the wedding, and I think some of us (myself included) forgot they were married. Because we’re so used to very public spectacles. Amber and Wiz were never going to get the cover of People or Martha Stewart’s Weddings, but they could have scored a lesser magazine cover. Maybe not?

They could have Instagrammed some wedding pictures at least. Amber and Wiz chose not to do so until now. On Monday, Wiz chose to celebrate his one-year anniverary to Amber by tweeting and Instagramming pics of their wedding celebration. The act is both sweet and romantic, and I’m surprised these two were able to resist publicizing their nuptials until now.

Amber and Wiz look so happy in these pictures, but this is seriously some bad fashion. Wiz’s fuchia jacket and bow tie look like they arrived straight from a 1980s John Hughes movie. You know Wiz was so baked at this event. He always is. Amber’s dress is a strapless, lace Pnina Tornai for Kleinfeld gown. The dress has so many tiers and ruffles and looks like a massive doily. At least (then) 5-month-old Sebastian looks adorable. He’s all, “Momma, I’ve gotta sneeze. Hold up your dress and wipe my nose.”

  1. don't kill me i'm french says:

    Usually i say all the new married are beautiful but here it’s ugly
    But I totally agree with your commentary.

    • GirlyGirl says:

      It looks like someone jammed a Q-Tip into a pile of whipped cream

    • Meredith says:

      It looks like it took a truck to move that dress. It’s huge and kind of overwhelming.

      • homegrrrl says:

        I think the dress cool and I’d like to touch it, I love cotton, and that’s one cute chubby baby. I love seeing chubby baby/kids. It’s the bubbie in me! xxoo muwhaaahh! I have no idea why I love Amber Rose, her style is so outrageous, gotta lover her, and Khalifa looks like everyone’s stoney neighbor. I’m going vegan lately, so I think i’m detoxy and kind of high. In a good mood, feelin good…that’ all.

  2. SpookySpooks says:

    Trashy. So so very trashy. But those two are such a cute couple and the kid is adorable. And has a normal name.

    • Audrey says:

      Pnina is always trashy

      At least it isn’t see through?

    • Rae says:

      I wouldn’t call it trashy. She’s not flashing her bits, there are no cut outs or see through lace. Overdone, most certainly, but I’m a minimalist and just looking at the dress makes me break out in hives. But trashy? no

      • SpookySpooks says:

        I don’t think it has to be vulgar to be trahsy. The dress isn’t vulgar, but it is trashy, IMO.

      • snowflake says:

        yeah, I wouldn’t call it trashy. trashy to me implies, lots of skins, sleazy looking. kinda feel bad for amber rose, I’d hate to have my wedding dress called trashy. imo, this isn’t

  3. Amberica says:

    That dress is insane, but I kinda love it for her.

    • lirko says:

      Agree!

      • zinjazin says:

        I’m on the fence… I Think she’s really hot and has a unique style..and they do look happy so that’s cute. But when I scrolled down for the Picture i actually gasped…it’s something shockng about ¨the dress

    • deehunny says:

      Whatever floats their boats. It’s totally their style and they are clearly rocking it and loving it. I’m just happy it’s not vulgar and she looks like a lady.

      I’m very happy for them and am genuinely rooting for them. Seem like a really nice couple.

  4. Eleonor says:

    That’s what I call a real wedding-cake gown.
    It’s their over the top style and it suits them, they look so happy.

    • MrsB says:

      I think so too. Nobody else could pull this off, but they make it work somehow.

    • Ag says:

      i agree too. she is such a strikingly beautiful woman that she could pull off basically anything, including this insane gown. and the entire vibe somehow fits them.

      • L says:

        What I want to know is what product does she use to cover up her arm tattoos? All her ink is pretty big (and she usually covers it on red carpet events to), and the cover up always looks flawless. Photoshop?

      • Ag says:

        i don’t know the name of it, but apparently sephora sells some cover-up for tattoos, i have friends who used it and said it was great.

    • Josefa says:

      Yup, MTE. I never judge people on their wedding decissions because it’s their day and they can do whatever they want. That must’ve been a really fun wedding.

    • Mixtape says:

      I agree, I love it. The dress is over-the-top debutante, but it’s balanced by her short hair, veil-less veil, and almost no jewelry. As for him, I think the fuchsia jacket is a great way to inject some personal style into traditional garb–I think it’s so much more fun and classy than, say, the ratty denim suit Piper Perabo’s husband wore a few months ago.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      She obviously loves it, and it’s her day, so good for her and congrats to both. Cute little baby.

  5. Lara K says:

    On one hand, the dress looks like my grandmother’s underwear drawer exploded.

    But she seems to love it, and it’s her wedding. So whatever makes her happy.

    Also love the quiet wedding. My respect for Douchebag Levine really rose when he didn’t release photos of his wedding. I’m curious, but still respect it.

    • Chris says:

      The dress reminds me of my great-aunt Nora’s loo…..she had a ghastly doll in a huge frock like this under which she’d modestly stash the loo paper.
      I’m very severe about wedding clobber, so suffice it to say that Katie Price is more influential than we thought…..

      • Hally says:

        Ahhhaahaa, I remember those dolls! So many old ladies had them in their bathrooms! The ones I remember had plastic half bodies and usually dresses that looked hand knit. Usually these were in bathrooms that also had toilet covers, ewww

  6. Dani2 says:

    Trashy looking dress but Amber is so beautiful and she looks so happy that I think it actually works for her.

  7. Nev says:

    hahahaha they are cute

  8. NewWester says:

    It’s her day and she looks very happy. So that is all that matters.

  9. Anastasia says:

    I don’t know, I kind of like the pop of color his jacket is providing.

    I like her dress more from far away. Up close, I don’t like the fabric the tiers are made of. But good on them for having such a sweet, low-key wedding! They both look so happy.

  10. maybeiamcrazy says:

    Horrible clothes, cute family.

  11. Lauren says:

    I can’t hate on the fashion.
    Compare those smiles to the miserable looking Kimye wedding photos!

    • FLORC says:

      May I redirect you to the KK threads? This isn’t about her. Although, it’s kinda funny that’s all some people think about. How to hate on someone that isn’t part of a current discussion.

      • Lrayne25 says:

        Jesus, she might have made the comparison because Kim was Kanyes jumpoff from Amber. And Lauren, I thought the same thing.

  12. lower-case deb says:

    i know this is rude to say to someone celebrating their happy day,

    but seriously. that dress reminds me of the 80s loo roll doll:

    the dress aside though, the family picture looks damn cute~

    • Frida_K says:

      I knew I recognized the dress from somewhere!! Ha! The guest bathroom of one of my elderly, just off the boat (from Sicily) great aunts from when I was a small child!! THAT’s where I’ve seen the dress before, just like in the link you have here!!

    • Ms. Lib says:

      OMG – it does. And the top part looks like a bra from the 60’s.

  13. Chinoiserie says:

    I have watched Say Yes to the Dress and have seen more tacky Phina Tornai gowns so it could be worse.

    • megs283 says:

      I came here to say the same thing. There are some SERIOUSLY TRASHY Pnina Tornai gowns…this one is virginal in comparison.

    • L says:

      THIS. Pnina dresses are awful. And I think I’ve actually seen another girl on SYTTD buy this one.

    • S says:

      I thought the same thing! Every time a bride comes in asking for one, I think… Oh boy, here we go again.

    • MollyB says:

      I was just about to say “That can’t be Pnina–it doesn’t have a sheer bodice with visible boning!” but then I saw that, yes, it does. Stripper fairy chic.

      • Hally says:

        Hahaha, stripper fairy chic! YES! Oh Pnina! I love how on the show they push her dresses so hard, like “oh, we have something special for you” and “I think she might be a Pnina Bride” ! Lordy. I don’t know what I would do of I was on the show and they suggested I try one of her dresses.

        Let’s be really, after the initial rage of being mistaken for a Pnina bride wore off, I would totally try on one of her dresses for kicks.

    • Malificent says:

      If you’re going to look cheap, at least have the common sense to pay cheap for your lack of class. It always kills me on that show to watch women spend the price of a new car to dress like a hoochie mama.

    • The Original Mia says:

      Yes! The attorney with the see-through corset, who wanted to be different. So bad.

    • Pepsi Presents...Coke says:

      We all came to say that. Saloon Chic.

  14. Jenns says:

    When are Pnina Tornai dresses not tacky?

    • JulieM says:

      Her dresses are never not tacky. And it probably cost $20K.

    • Amanduh says:

      Right??! I’ve seen a lot worse Pnina dresses…and their outrageous price points!!!!? Amber looks cute and happy, so it works for her…

    • notasugarhere says:

      They all remind me of the Madonna’s Like a Virgin corset/lingerie outfits from the 80s. What you’d wear under the wedding gown, not the gown itself.

  15. nemo says:

    Pnina Tornai was in the Israeli Big Brother a few years ago. she’s…ermm… very weird.

  16. Kristin says:

    I can’t hate this because Amber looks so so happy, seriously.

  17. Jenny12 says:

    My grandparents lived in a tiny, cramped, dark LES apartment that my grandmother tried to brighten up with loads of doilies. I mean, they were everywhere, on the arms of chairs, piled on sidetables, and so on. That is what the wedding dress reminds me of, those piles and piles of doilies.

  18. Altariel says:

    Just lovely! Looks great on her…nothing trashy in sight.

  19. Beep says:

    Wiz has the longest legs I’ve ever seen!

  20. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    And The Pnina Tornai Ten ply uber plush Toilet Paper is available exclusively at Kleinfeld Bridal.

  21. QQ says:

    NOOOOO NOT PNINA STRIPPER GIPSY WEDDING GOWNS!!! Nooooooo

    Although Amber pulls it off with aplomb but Fuck! That lady’s stuff is Awful to The Max!! Wiz Looks … Good for him.. (Meaning ugh his hair and face tats and gold fronts situation but whatevs, SHE likes it!)… Like I LOVE he used a colored jacket and also since he is lean/lanky he also has the build for it.

    I also rather love them as a couple and how happy and loved up they always seem to be together! I also like they held up on these pics just cause…I really thought somehow they were married civilly but never did do the “Big Shebang one Does For Other People in Your Life To Feed Them Foods and Cake” (Lol you can tell I’m not fond of that shit!)

  22. FLORC says:

    The last royal thread sparked a great discussion on wedding dresses and the women who wore them. The dresses on display and the dresses on the brides looked completely different. Sometimes the bride makes the dress while the dress on it’s own is terrible.

    I think Amber is a perfect example of this. She’s wearing the dress and rocking it.

  23. AlmondJoy says:

    The dress is perfect for her! I don’t care for it, but It fits in with her style.

    The only thing I really care about is Baby Bash’s cheeks!! They are everything! Why is he so fat and perfect?? ? 😍

    Also, the pic with Amber’s mom. She is sooo gorgeous. She’s from Cape Verde. I see where Amber get’s her beauty from!

    • Kori says:

      THAT’S her Mom?!?! God Lord that woman is gorgeous. I mean–really gorgeous. I never would have guessed she was old enough to be her mom. And she looks very elegant in her dress. Stunning.

      • AlmondJoy says:

        Right?! She is seriously beautiful. I think Cape Verde must produce nothing but beautiful people. My friend is from there and everyone in her family is a knockout.

    • jaye says:

      That’s her MOM??!! I thought it was her sister! That woman is gorgeous!

    • Moneypenny says:

      I was wondering if that was her mom. Gorgeous–it’s clear where Amber gets it from!

      There are definitely lots of very attractive Cape Verdeans :).

    • AlmondJoy says:

      Jaye: I agree, she looks so young! So gorgeous

      Moneypenny: Amber seems to be a perfect mix of both her mother and father. Also, Cape Verdeans are so beatiful and unique looking!

    • Pepsi Presents...Coke says:

      Mother? Whuuuttt?

  24. lisa says:

    it suits them and they have never once pretended to dictate fashion so go for it

  25. Nene says:

    Imho Amber Heard is one of my top 5 most beautiful female celebs ever. She is so naturally pretty cos only VERY few women (celeb or not) can pull off that hair cut of hers.

    I’ve always seen she and Wiz as sort of an odd match but they’ve always seem so happy together.
    And their baby is such a chubbilious cutie.

  26. bagladey says:

    EVERYTHING suits their personalities and they look great and really happy.

  27. Penelope says:

    They look slightly goofy and over the top but somehow, it works. And their baby is seriously cute!!

  28. mazza says:

    Pnina Tornai, the maker of the stripper-fairy wedding dress.

  29. Suzy from Ontario says:

    She is such a beautiful woman, but I don’t like this gown on her. I don’t think it flatters her and makes her upper body look too broad or something. Just not a fan. Love his tux jacket though!

  30. The Original Mia says:

    They look so happy and in love, I can’t hate on the dress as much as I want to.

  31. Jen2 says:

    So will she get her own “Say Yes to the Dress” special? Sounds like she should.

  32. kri says:

    My something nice-she’s holding the baby, the baby seems to recognize her, and they are all smiling. That’s good enough for me. If that’s the dress she chose, so be it. Her day, her dress. Not my cuppa, but hey whatevs.

  33. andsoitgoes says:

    That man has the longest legs I’ve ever seen…

  34. sesame says:

    That dress seems lifted straight out of an episode of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding!

  35. Ellegr says:

    But maaaaaaaybe they had an ’80s theme wedding and went all the way with costumes and whatnot and had tons of fun. I would love a themed wedding.

  36. Marianne says:

    Pnina’s dresses are always super tacky looking.

  37. Elizabeth says:

    You know, this isn’t the tackiest thing I’ve seen from Pnina…
