Amerie opens her high-fashion closet to Elle

Rihanna may be the R&B girl of the moment but Amerie is no shrinking violet. The songstress recently let Elle Magazine take a peek into her closet and peruse her designer wardrobe. Her style includes a mix of girly hot pink dresses mixed with edgy, streetwise accessories (Pamela Love daggers and talon cuffs with Bliss Lau body chains — bondage much?) and full of haute up-and-comers (T by Alexander Wang, Rag and Bone) mixed with longtime celebrity faves (Chloé). Check out Amerie’s haute looks in the thumbnails below.
