Glee-star Amber Riley celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday at the W Hollywood. The star celebrated her transition into true adulthood in style! She arrived to her fashion fete wearing a beautifully beaded dress, in purple, accentuating her curves

The dress is the perfect way to create plus-size sexy. Showing just the right amount of skin, the dress teases you with cleavage and the beaded lace shows just enough while concealing all the racy areas.

We love the defined waves and architecture of her hair giving us some serious glam. The look was bold, so of course, she has a bold fuschia lip while rocking lashes for daysssss. As if we could not love this curvy sister anymore, she celebrated her life with a 30th Birthday shoot, dropping images every day leading up to her party. She commented,

“I always get ‘you’re beautiful,’ but I never really felt ‘sexy.’ But sexy isn’t about the clothes you wear or don’t wear, lol. It’s about confidence and how you view yourself.” ~ Amber P. Riley

Ladies: we can definitely take a lesson from Amber and let our real beauty shine through from the inside. When you move with confidence, it’s an instant (and easy) upgrade to your look.

Amber, I love the look but the sexiest thing about the ensemble is your confidence. You go girl! Happy birthday!

For 2024’s iteration of MadameNoire and HelloBeautiful’s annual series Women to Know, we knew we wanted to celebrate the people who help make the joys of film and television possible. To create art is to create magic. This year, we spotlight Hollywood Executive’s changing the face of cinema.
