Amber Riley is a star to be reckoned with.  A singer, an actress and an author, this 30-year-old beauty can do it all. The Wiz live star is busier than ever and we cannot get enough of her talent as well as her amazing hair. The busy diva shared a behind the scenes of a recent photo shoot where she rocked thigh-high heels, a short jersey dress and topped it off with a badass Fro covering one eye.

That Afro is everything! Big, bad, sexy, and full — her Afro pops out from the pic and we cannot wait to see these finished shots being photographed from none other than Lance Gross. Oh, you didn’t know? The handsome actor is also a brilliant photographer. Can you imagine trying to focus on your pout and pose while being shot by all that sexiness? No worries, because Amber is a professional and she rocks that pose and that Afro with such attitude you know she’s feeling that whole look.
