It was a big night for the cast members of 'Glee,' at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, who won 'Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical.'
'Glee' cast member, Amber Riley, 24, who plays Mercedes Jones, walked the red carpet donning a gleaming gown by Los Angeles-based couturier Oliver Tolentino. The Philippine-born designer has been creating wedding dresses and red carpet gowns for stars like Kimora Lee Simmons, Niecy Nash and actress Sophia Bush for the past 18-years.

"She wore a mermaid Venus-cut, silver sequined gown with a black satin, bugle beaded belt. I think she looked fantastic!" When you are looking to create your own cinematic moment, wearing sequin is the way to go because it will definitely get you noticed.

Riley reviled a choppy blunt bang at the award show and accessorized her gown with a ring by Charles Albert, shoes by Midas, a black feather clutch by Michelle Monroe, and earrings she made herself.
If you have a voluptuous figure like Riley, Tolentino says the pattern of the dress is key to creating a slimming effect. "I made the pattern for her gown. Amber approved the material but left the design up to me. It's very important to use heavy fabric so it falls nicely on the body."

If this sister wants to make a statement on the
red carpet, start with losing 100lbs and doing
some exercises.. that is the statement young woman need to see and hear.

The key is getting the right dress to accentuate your body and the designer is on hit with this one. She looks amazing. Glad she didn't make the mistake of picking something that did not fit her curves at all. She's gorgeous.
