‘Did Her Eyes Change Colors or Am I Tripping?’: Ciara’s Beauty Post Comes to a Screeching Halt After Fans Get Distracted By Her Eyes

Ciara‘s eyes caused quite a commotion on Wednesday, Oct. 20, after she uploaded a glam post on her Instagram page.

The singer caught fans off-guard when she decided to accessorize her look with colored contacts.

Ciara, dressed in a Mônot gown with a thigh-high slit, showed the attire in several images and poses. The post included a full shot of the entire look and a couple of closeups that showcased the side and frontal view of the white dress.

The 35-year-old captioned the upload, “All White Kinda Night. Thanks for having me @NinaGarcia @ElleUsa #WomenInHollywood.” As fans viewed Ciara’s post, many of them immediately zoomed in on her eyes. A handful of them expressed how different she looked with the contacts compared to her darker eye color.

“Who put contacts in my girl eyes?”

“The color contacts got my good sis now too. Damn.”

“Noooooo. Why the contacts?”

“Now Cici, we know damn well that isn’t your eye color.”

“This is a beautiful photo. Did her eyes change colors or am I tripping.”

In addition to the contacts comments, many people raved over Ciara’s look. One wrote, “Mam our necks.” Another said, “You ain’t have to kill ‘Em like that.. but you DID!” An Instagram user claimed that the singer has been dominating the fashion world with her recent looks. That person stated, “At this point, you hand out the assignments!!”

Ciara’s post came a day after she attended the 2021 ELLE magazine “Women in Hollywood” event. The soiree honored many women in the entertainment industry who fit the definition of what the publication deemed resilient following a trying year with the pandemic and protests against police brutality.

This year’s honorees included Halle Berry, Jennifer Hudson, Lauren Ridloff, Angelina Jolie, Gal Gadot, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Rita Moreno and Jodie Comer.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
