Amber Von Tussle (Brittany Snow) is a mean-spirited girl from the movie Hairspray.
She is very talentless and a mean bully. Amber is about to be crowned dance queen when she is humiliated by Tracy.
Amber is a spoiled, rich girl and the daughter of Velma Von Tussle. She feels that she always has to be at the top and win. She is cruel to Tracy and always makes fun of her for being overweight. Tracy comes around and messes things up for her, which makes Tracy her enemy. Tracy also wins the heart of Amber's boyfriend, Link Larkin. Amber also shares an odd semi-friendship, semi-rivalry with Corny Collins over how much of the limelight they share.
In the Broadway stage show, Amber and her mother are redeemed at the end following their defeat. In the movie adapted from the musical, only Amber is hinted to.
