Amber Riley looks amazing as she captures the “mood, sexiness and playfulness” of Chaka Khan in this fashion spread for Essence magazine’s March 2011 issue, on newsstands Friday, February 11!
What’s not to love about this Glee actress. She’s talented, beautiful and star on the rise. She is our “It girl”!
The 24 year old singer/actress was magical as she channeled her inner Diva in her very first fashion spread for Essence Magazine. Celebrity photographer Derek Blanks suggested that she used Chaka Khan for inspiration who happened to be Riley’s favorite artist.
We can’t wait to see the end result. In the meantime, check Amber and Derek out this video.

When I first saw these pictures, my first reaction was “be still my beating heart”. She looks just AMAZING!!!
We love that Amber is a plus girl who is rocking skinny jeans AND high heels!
I’m glad that Essence Magazine decided to wake up and finally use a real woman in the magazine. Amber Riley is simply adorable! Kudos to DVD for introducing her to folks that are not familiar with “Glee.”
she’s beautiful!
She looks stunning and I really love her smile! This is great
