‘Looking Real Hard’: Ciara’s Photo Op With Singer Bebe Rexha Gets Derailed When Onlooker Appears to Be Salivating

Ciara treated Cannes, France, to her impeccable style this week as she visited to perform at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

When not at her show, however, she caught up with some of her celebrity pals and snapped a couple of photos. Posing with Gabrielle Union and then singer Bebe Rexha, Ciara put her mile-long legs on display in an oversized white blazer.

“Filles ❤️” Ciara captioned the images.

Fans dug the look.

“Ciara got it going on ❤️”

“Ciara Gorgeous Head To Toe.”

“Absolutely gorgeous, nothing else to say, wonderful! 🔥🔥🔥”

Yet no matter how good CiCi’s style is, it was the photo with Rexha that got people talking because of how a man in the background appeared to be gazing at them.

“The guy in the back was wiping his mouth looking hard😁😍😍”

“Ole dude in the back checking out that tall glass of water. CiCi.”

“Look at the perv behind CeCe.”

Others remarked on another man in the background who they said looked like a lot like Drake.

“Why homeboy in the background looks like Security guard drake????”

“Why you blur out drake? 😂😂😂😂 #doppleganger.”

“Nice Very Beautiful 🙂 ,Is That Drake In The Background Leaning on the Tree On the Phone Or Pretending to Be on the Phone…. hard Not To See A Blue Shirt like that in the background..👀👀👀 #oopsAreYouHiding # Maybe A look-alike ????”

While the attention got stolen away from Ciara this time, there have been plenty of other occasions that the focus remained squarely on the “Set” singer’s fashionable appearance.

A Chanel ensemble Ciara rocked for the April issue of InStyle magazine was one moment. She paired a $2,200 button-up shirt from the brand with cigarette pants and a matching gold and crystal chain waist belt reading “Chanel.” She rounded out the look with chandelier earrings and pointed-toe Louboutin pumps.

“Ciara always looks so classy and beautiful ❤️.”

“Absolutely gorgeous!”

“The IT woman these days. A great lady, powerful mother, wonderful wife and style icon. Keep on shining @ciara.”

“Your always in style.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
