well since the obama hype is over…this is so 2008…timejump

She can do better than this. I agree with #1. Move on!!!!!!!!!!

BRAPPPP!!! Ghana all the way!

No it looks ok but hey she wants to show off her heritage she mite be Ghanaian, as the symbols are ghanaian and the akwaaba means welcome.

of course white ppl who run the awards do not know african fashion so tacky will come to mind. she looks confident enough to show it off and obviously she is still supporting obama.
With love <3

OK..wth…this looks ridiculious…I dont get it..I love my prez too but….NO

maybe for a cultural event but not for the Emmy’s.

Fashion is african, i know bcos im a nigerian.its lovely she looks like a nubian queen.obama for life.

I agree with No. 3 and 6. In Africa, we “draw” our leaders faces on Fabric and make clothing out of it. To those who are non-africans it would obviously look tacky. But that’s our heritage and we love it. These type of African fashion is normally worn at special events. I would’ve thrown in a head scarf as well. She looks beautiful.

THAT SHIT IS A FUKN MESS! IM SORRY IM DOWN FOR MY BLACK PRESIDENT IN ALL, BUT THE DRESS IS JUST PLAIN OL’ UGLY. AND THATS DUMB AS HELL Y WOULD U WEAR THAT LIKE WHR WAS SHE GOING? TACKYYY!

She is hot ….the dress is not!!!!!!!!!!

THAT SHIT IS A FUKN MESS! DONT GET ME WRONG IM DOWN FOR MY BLACK PRESIDENT AND ALL, BUT THE DRESS IS JUST PLAIN OL’ UGLY! AND THATS TACKY Y WOULD SHE WEAR THAT LIKE WHERE WAS SHE GOING?

I lke the dress but not for the Emmy’s. Like she could’ve worn this to the MTV awards, or the Kids Choice awards..which are more casual events. The Emmys and Grammys are more classy and glamorous. The real question is why does she always look like she’s about to burst into tears. Hasn’t she heard of concealer?

fail this shit is a hot mess and whats up with her face,

I saw many hot sexy photos and videos on ****_http://tinyurl.com/nvmulw**^^^^! It’s a 100% free dating site! Many hot sexy big boobed beauties, big booty hotties and big handsome guys like to mingle there for fun and romance! What kind of relationship to you want to establish there?

fashion fail!!

it is tacky

Am proud to know someone really appreciate african fabrics. I think there are a lot of styles she could have picked this in. All the same she looks natural and beautiful.

It looks like she going to some backwoods pagent in this thing. No wonder I didnt see her in this getup at all.

she should have worn an nkrumah one… 100 years since his birth!
etisen every ghanaian concreteloop user!

boko!!!!!!!!!!!

She looks stupid

Kinda OTT, if it didn’t have Obama all over it and just a design instead then it would have been ok and more relavant to the time…..

Definitely not hot ….why do her eyes look like that??!?

#3 & 18
what’s up!!
Definitely a Ghanaian print, but I do think the dress could have been made SOOOOO much better than this frumpy ass thing. the style is a yawn, the print has been worn by so many other people, so I hope she didnt think she was rocking something new.

I LOVE VICTORIAS’ DRESS PERFECTION

GIRL PLEASE, WHY IS YOU WEARING THAT DRESS TO THE EMMY’S. HELL WE ALREADY GOT HIM IN OFFICE . HER DRESS LOOKS TACKY . BUT SHOUT OUT TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Well as an African (Nigerian) you already know I love the print lol (shout out to the Ghananians!!!!) but I feel she should have sewed it better, the way she sewed it I can wear it around the house….hm at least she wore ankara…but she didn’t rock it though =(

This woman is 50…… OMG that is what i want to be when i grow up…

The material is awsome and very african…but the style of the dress could of been better… this looks like she just wrapped herself in the material with a couple of safety pins…LOL

SMH. It’s because it don’t fit into what is acceptable that people want to call it ‘tacky’. She reppin, it’s all good. Big up my Ghanian massive!!

*Ghanaian

REPRESENTING PEOPLE FROM GHANA!!

MO WO HE?

YE KO YE NIM!!!!!!

I appreciate her tapping into the culture but something is off with they styling or maybe it’s that she has so many pictures all over it. I dunno.

the dress itself and the fact she’s repping ghana is fine….but why is obama’s face plastered over the dress? i will never understand the extreme degree of how fanatical people are being. i’m not against obama, but this is getting out of hand. he’s in office…got it? HE’S IN OFFICE…no longer campaigning lol.

She could have just worn a Obama button. the dress looks like her designer went to a fabric shop the night before and threw something together. it is tacky

She should have save that for the BET awards. I love victoria but for the red carpet thats a little bit out of place. For me that dress is off base. Maybe she should wear it to one of those tea parties. She could maybe wear it to the white house. Or maybe the first lady could wear it to bed as a night gown. But the red carpet. Or maybe she could just wrap it up and send it as a gift to ex President Bush in he can give it to his wife as a gift, she did say she love the OBAMA’S or was that a lie. lmao

She’s free to wear whatever the heck she wants to wear!

She was representing….cool I dig lol

she’ll be alright now she knows not to pull that shit off again

def not cute! wtf was she thinking? did she do this herself. looks like she bought an obama scarf at the dollar store and wrapped it around her.

i would be embarrassed if i were barack. they are stamping his face on everything.

if she were going to do something to show praise and admiration toward barack at least be creative.

angel, the designer is unknown because THERE IS NO DESIGNER. it was a do it yourself item:)

lol ,,, when she bringing her ass back to y&r …. i miss her quazy azz….lol
didnt she just git married?…. i guess this is as close as she will ever git to him lolol

Not

OMG she is 50!!!!??? Whoa, I hope I look that amazing when I am 50. I’ll give her a pass on the ugly dress just for that reason alone.

I love the Adinkra symbols!! Ghana!! people take note, Sankofa!!

I am sooo LOL!!!! Man i’m embarrassed for her!!
The dress looks so cheesy and tacky though! Like they couldn’t come up with a better looking design at least? That was catastophic and too be a star and talked about negatively at an event as huge as the Emmy’s by other stars is like…smh.. F*cked up!..lmao! I know she couldnt wait for the night to end!

I love the gye nyame on her dress! Except God! Ghanaian culture is assimilating into popular culture. How brave of her and what a statement! People please learn where you come from!

I agree with a previous comment, she should have saved this for the BET awards. She looks utterly ridiculous!! You got your president and he has been in office for 9 months, move on honey! That dress looks so cheap and tacky, poor thing.

Don’t hate. You all know that if you looked that good at 50 (plastic surgery or not), you’d say nothing but good things.

While I appreciate the Obama love, I think this particular awards show may not have been the best venue to showcase it’s originality.

On the plus side, she is still tastefully covered up, and, if anything, at least people are talking about her.

BEAU TI FUL woman….HORRIBLE dress!!!

LOL @ HER SPINNING AROUND AND CHEESING LIKE SHE KNEW SHE WAS THE SHIT THAT NIGHT LOL

SHE STILL FINE AS HELL FOR 50, BUT NO.

@@ 44:

WELL, MAYBE THE BET AWARDS LAST DAMN YEAR!!!!!!!!

Ghana Represent!!!!!!

I do love the color/ and print of the fabric, but i must admit not really feeling the style of her dress..

@18…bokoo

that dress is a mess

On the fence about the dress, I appreciate what she’s doing but it does look a little idk?

But on a good note girl looks banging, I had no idea she was 50 looking good.

why….just WHY….

First of all this chick is 50 and looks hot to death so stop the hating.
Second of all…she is at the Emmy’s at not us so she can wear what she wants! Ive been taught that if they are saying good things about you cool..if they are saying bad things cool…at least they are talking about you …which is a little bit more than we can say about most of us looking at Concreteloop instead of actually attending the events.
Thirdly, President Obama is NOT 2008…he is timeless. So now that the “hype” is over we shoudl stop rocking for President Obama? I think not…we need to rep harder than ever! I was rocking my Pres Obama earrings the day after his address to the Senate….and Im gonna rock them to the grave.

I love her confidence to step outside the norm. Do your thing Mama!

STOP KNOCKING Victoria, this is actually very popular in Nigeria, Africa. we make just type of materials and wear them, i say KUDOS to her.

Big ups to the Ghanaian concrteloop users…Ye ko ye nim…lol..Gh in december anyone??

Although I love her, this is a fashion fail because she could have done much better with the print. I applaud her risk taking though!!

Yh Yh Wu hufe me dase kraaa

@55
yh im goin to GH in december till the new yr!! u??

What’s up with black american people??? do you guys not like yourselves? What is African is inferior? Gucci and Prada feel closer to home? You want WEAVES and everything european to feel ok. Decolonising the mind!

Girlfriend really thing she did something wrapping herself up in an left over Obama campaign banner.

I love Drucilla Winters! LOL But not this tacky dress! NEXT….

BRAVO # 57… some of our people can be sooooo lost it’s called POST SLAVERY SYNDROME !!!!

tisk tisk….

@#43 You said everything I wanted.

Big up to the Ghanaian’s today.

Thats wassup.

I would though concreteloop would have know that, snice they always up on they shyt. I guess not! - Like she said know where you coming from. Go Google it!

I LOOOVE THIS DRESS. She looks madd fly. Any TRUE “AFRICAN” American would have an appreciation for this dress. But see when your brainwashed and caught up in a Tradtional American- Society- Beauty -Fashion- state of mind then of course you will find something like her dress awful…

but if it was stamped with GUCCI, CHRISTIAN LOUTBOUTIN OR PRADA THIS..THEN LIKE the typical “black” american yall would be awin and sayin how fly she is……smh. truly shows the state of mind of most YOUNG “AFRICAN” AMERICANS.

I love how shes reppin OUR FASHION not too many of our ppl seem to be proud of there background…and I most certainly love the fact that our PRESIDENT IS ALL OVER THAT DRESS. So what if shes rockin that dress to an PREDOMINATELY ALL WHITE AMERICAN AWARDS SHOW….THAT WAS MAKE HER DRESS OF CHOICE EVEN BETTER. ONCE AGAIN I LOVE IT.

what’s with her eyes, she look high?

man people are just plain ol’CRAZY..wtf is wrong with this lady..ughhh!!!? She might as well threw on the matching nikes..thats how FUCKING STUPID SHE LOOK!

Victoria is the definition of FIERCE. she’s the only one that can pull this look off, and she knows it. that’s why she has the confidence to rock this dress at the whitey, i mean emmy, awards. and OMG, she’s 50YEARS OLD?!?!?! for that reason alone, she gets the props.

Kenya all tha way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People may may have felt that this was a little much, but it was her choice and she looks estatic and beautiful. As a Congolese who is used to seeing these types of print, I think she looks great in it. And she’s fifty? I did not know that!

Yeah big ups to the ghananian massive dem!!!. I rate her for even wearing that to the emmys cos that takes balls so yeah big ups to her. London SE7 in the building!!!.

That’s the dumbest sh*t I’ve ever seen…..

She looks happy. So i guess.

I like it. I wonder what Obama thinks?

Looks tacky. I love Obama too but DAMN!

love it!!

Kiss Obama’s ass all you want but you know damn RIGHT you would never wear this trash.

i’m all for supporting Obama but that dress is HIDEOUS!

Black americans dont know what they are missing by not embarassing their cultural heritage.obama forever,africa forever,the blackman forever

She is definetely HOTT for 50. The dress I would have passed on. I think it would have been fine without his face all over it.

She looks great to be 50-years old. I like Obama, but the dress is a big fat no-no.

the seams are not even lined up together. Amatuer sewing at its best…

This is the official fabric the Ghana government printed in honor of Obama’s visit to Ghana in July this year and i must say, i feel so humbled and proud as a Ghanaian to see the actress walk the red carpet at such an event wearing the fabric. God bless you Victoria, if your people are not being appreciative, we in Ghana love you for doing us proud. God Bless you!

bama of the week! week week week week…..

THANK U 4 THIS POST, BECAUSE I JUST REALISED A LOT OF GHANAIANS ARE CL READERS!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! and @ #55…yes, I will be home this xmas!!! Cant wait…its been 2 years.

This is simply an ingenious fashion and political statement…i can see all the red faces of the racists and rightists…..way to go girl…never mind the envious blockheads

OMG! I’m loving all the Ghanaians in this thread man! Braaaap!!!!lol I LOVE my country and my culture, Ghana forever!!!!!

“save the ethnic wear for the (ghetto) BET awards”.
WTF???

wassup to GHANA, i miss you so!!!!!

while im loving the fact that she is comfortable enough to wear what SHE WANTS to, i do think it could have been made into something much prettier.something to make her look like an african queen.
half the people here cant appreciate the meaning of the fabric and/or have no idea what an adinkra symbol is.

and its not a slight to them but i wouldnt have known had i not had the opportunity to live in Africa for a month.
it was LOVE
and i respect her so much for repping that dress. they are so proud of our president and he makes them want to come here that much more.
let you not forget that AFRICA is treated as the lowly stepchild (until we get ready for their newfound oil) and this makes them feel somewhat vindicated.
they share in our triumph.
and while some dont like black americans, the majority of them love us and want us to come back HOME.
its one thing to not like it, understood-its not our culture-but its another to claim it should only be dawned at an ethnic event.
(let the brainwashing continue)

LOVE TO GHANA

seams arent lined up,lol. ha ha ha

true, lot of ghanaians repping here.

@ EWURAFUA (GHANAIAN TOO)

take me with you!!!
im missing this hot tomato paste kind of sauce that i ate on EVERYTHING,lol.
cant wait to go back and i hope its soon. so peaceful and full of love despite what they may show us on the outside.
did love the spread on GHANA in the new EBONY MAG though

It looks great! That is a Traditional African print dress and she is expressing her culture through her clothes. Some may not respect it, but if you go to almost any country in Africa with beautiful black women like this, you will see this print on hundreds on our natural black women.

YOU LOOK HOT VICTORIA!!!

MY GOODNESS, WHY CANT PEOPLE JUST UNDERSTAND WHEN A PERSON MERELY DISLIKES SOMETHING, NOTHING MORE OR LESS, WHEN ITS JUST THAT!, WITHOUT ALL THE EXTRA STUFF? I DONT CARE WHO MADE THE DRESS, IT IS NOT HOT TO ME. I GUESS IT’S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS THOUGH SO GOOD.

She rocked it…stop hating!

If we get into the politics that of the fabric, I think it was a bold statement that was meant to be discussed. I wonder if she understood that.

His face on “Kente cloth” which is actually Dutch Wax Fabric has a controversial history amongst the Africans and Dutch (the colonial people). So honestly I think it is intelligently lovely…

Nothing drastic. She is supporting her President in her original way. The cut of the dress is simple and is in the line-up of every designers collections (past or present). So it’s not like she is looks unpresentable. She’s beautiful and who can knock her for paying homage. No one would’ve said anything if she wore Red, White & Blue.

SHE ROCKED IT!!!!….. proudly!!!, I’m African!!!!….n’ what a way to celebrate yet another “symbolic_African_figure”… and to follow on the foot_steps of the “GREATS”. like GHANA’S ..”Kwame_Nkrumah.. and be celebrated’n’ GRACED in an attire??????..PRICELESS!!!!!…..*****we will gladly excuse the “IGNORANCE”!

OMG SHE IS 50 SHE LOOKS AMAZING!!

Now she know she know better.

I didn’t know she was 50, she looks good.

Well, I feel that if she wants to Rep her President as well as her heritage, how can you dispute that. The dress is not the most attractive but atleast she looks good at 50!

the material is beautiful and from GHANA but im not to sure bout the cut i have loads of ghanian clothes/dresses nd the design r so much more prettier so maybe she should hve done more research on other designs then that…just my opinion but i do think the dress is pretty just not for the emmys

Victoria really wore that to the Emmys? How very tacky of her. The dress is tacky period but to wear it to the Emmys takes things to a whole other level.

dress is ugly she could have worn a pin or something

Victoria needs to quit playing and get her ass back on Y&R!!! I mean, what is she doing with herself since she left the show besides parading around town looking like a HAM!!! Her daughter is dying of cancer (on the show) and she’s out and about with this foolishness!!! Drucilla come back out of the river! We Miss You!!!

@ 90. NYCDUMMY.- that is NOT Kente cloth. That is Ankara cloth.

and not all Ankara is made with dutch wax fabric. Also the colonial people of Ghana and Nigerian are British NOT Dutch. Geeeez. Kente cloth is hand woven, it is very highly esteemed. Not kente ‘print’ - Kente Cloth. This fabric is neither.

She wears it with confidence…. beautiful lady

TAAAACKY! Very cheaply done. Looks like she found the lil mom & pop cloth store where bolts come $6 a yard then let her home-ec teacher make the dress. Do you see the hemlines??? Do you see that half of Obama’s face((which is right near her ass by the way)) is cut off??? Whaaaaaaaat was she thinking?????? Whoever cut that dress out is a blind person. Bad idea. Bad look. Just…bad!

That dress is just plain fugly……………………..I wish she comes back to Young & The Restless

everyone on concreteloop is african now? lol

Her Feet are NOT hot.

its hot, its african and i love it.

representing GHANA to the fullest. I hope she understand the meaning of the ASHANTI symbols at the bottom of her dress. Very good symbols

Big up the Ghanaians and all my Africans. I love my country.
Well It ddn’t need Obama’s face all over it cos that was kinda 08 but the print is lovely. My mum would’ve added a big ass headscarf or something.She looks happy and clearly had the confidence to rock it so I’m not mad at all.

No way is she 50 :O wow.

@ 104.. well I’m guessing most ( not all) people who come on this site are black therefore their ancestors are from Africa. Where else does African American or Afro-Caribbean come from. Just because a lot of us live in the Western world doesn’t mean we don’t know our heritage.

Its a cloth form Ghana, West Africa

She looks absolutely ridiculous..she must not have any real friends because they would have not let her come outside like that! GET IT TOGETHER DRUCILLA! smh!

HOT FLAMING MESS!

wassup my African sistas! (im Nigerian)

i do like the dress. the print is really nice. it mighta been better w/o Obama all over it. but she reppin Ghana & the president so go Victoria.

still, i hate to say it but that dress wasnt really right for the occassion. theres a time & place for everything. but if she wants to wear (which she obviously did) then more power to her.

i wouldnt call it tacky tho. maybe a lil tacky that she wore to the emmys, but not a tacky dress

You can buy this in Ghana for $8.50- but it’s a tablecloth.

So many Ghanaians on Concrete Loop, let me find out!
Ghana Represent!

FAIL

WTF? She’s 50?

Im all for it….I think the dress is beautiful! What a way to tell those who hate our President because he is great black man who knows his shit to kiss my ass. Through out all the negativity, hatred and disrespect this dress is letting people know we are still behind our President and we love and support him.

Real talk, I love the dress. The Obama hype NEVER gets old!!!! He’s our FIRST Black President people!!!! Respect it and Love it!!!
