Newly engaged songstress Ciara is taking cues from pop diva Beyonce, reminding fans that a ring won’t keep her from showing off her sexy. The 28-year old performer went topless with spandex, thigh-high boots and fishnets in photos for GQ magazine. Check out the highlights of her interview below:
On the success of her single, “Body Party:”
“It’s one of those songs that happened fast, because it has such a sweet vibe. I can’t even lie, when we were mixing it, I was listening to it over and over like a fan. I don’t like using obvious samples, but it felt right—I couldn’t ignore the track the way [producer] Mike WiLL flipped the sample of ‘My Boo.’ It’s one of those songs a girl can sing to her man and where guys don’t have to feel too cool to slow dance with your girl.”
On dancing tips for men:
“Go with the flow; don’t overthink it. If you’re a head-nod kind of guy, nod your head. If you’re a guy who likes to coast out and rock or sway, just do that. Whatever you do, don’t get out there and try do something you haven’t practiced. Do what shows your style and vibe—let me catch that without you trying to show me anything. I’m kind of okay to just chill. Keep it simple and let the girl guide you a little bit. If you can do that, I think you’ll be alright.”
On the Dos and Don’t style for men:
“I love when people have their own creative vision, when a person stands out and tries different things. I also think less is more. A T-shirt and some Balmain jeans or even just simple jeans can still look nice—it can be powerful, too. There’s nothing better than when a man is in tune with who he is. I believe a person’s style is an expression of who you are—way more than dancing. And confidence is everything. Confidence is what makes that simple white tee and jeans look good.”
