Icon Emulation Editorials

The YRB Amber Rose 'Marilyn Monroe' Photo Shoot

The YRB Amber Rose 'Marilyn Monroe' photo shoot is super-hot. Kanye West's ex Amber Rose throws on a blonde wig and some Marilyn-esque clothing for this editorial, striking some sultry poses in homage to the cultural icon.

Those of you familiar with Amber Rose know that she rocks a nearly bald hairstyle, so the flowing blonde locks are a definite change; however, I don't mind. The YRB Amber Rose 'Marilyn Monroe' shoot was done by photographer Mike Ruiz.
