"Glamorous" is a song recorded by American singer Fergie, featuring American rapper Ludacris, for her studio album The Dutchess (2006). It was released as the third single from The Dutchess worldwide except for in the United Kingdom, where it served as the second single. The song was serviced to mainstream radios on January 23, 2007, and to Rhythmic radios on February 20, 2007, in the United States, through A&M Records, together with will.i.am Music Group and Interscope Records.

It was written by Fergie, Ludacris, will.i.am, Elvis Williams and Polow da Don; the latter also produced the song. "Glamorous" is an airy R&B and pop song that has a slower feel from the album's previous hip hop and dance-tinged singles. The lyrics deal with the lead staying rooted despite her success and fame. "Glamorous" garnered generally mixed to positive reviews from music critics, who commented on its smooth, generic sound and its lyrics, which have been likened to those of Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious" (2005), Jennifer Lopez's "Jenny from the Block" (2002) and Madonna's "Material Girl" (1985).

The song achieved commercial success worldwide, peaking inside the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. "Glamorous" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Fergie's second number one hit on the chart as a solo artist. The song also became her third best-selling song in the United States, amassing sales of over 3,000,000 copies as of August 2012,^[1] and earning a double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The music video for "Glamorous" features Fergie in scenes in which she portrays a successful actress and a teenager, acting as flashbacks from her past. The song was heavily sampled by Jack Harlow for his 2022 single "First Class", which also went number one on the Billboard Hot 100.^[2]
