Ciara has been serving up some very hot and fresh looks lately, and as of last week the singer has done it once more.

On Thursday, Nov. 11, she uploaded three posts of her best photos in the same outfit. The look consisted of a Tom Ford black dress and black strapped pumps. As for her hair, it was designed in a curly messy bun with two bangs coming out in the front of her face.

The dress itself had several parts to it. The arms were a sheer material, the torso area looked to be made of velvet material, and the front part was slightly low cut. According to her Instagram, celebrity hairstylist César DeLeön Ramîrez designed her hair, while celebrity makeup artists Yolanda Frederick did her soft and subtle makeup.

In the makeup look, her eyes were slightly darkened with a deep eyeliner and mascara. Her cheeks had a nude-ish pink blush, and her lips were a salmon pink. Of course, the singer did not get all dressed up for nothing. All of this razzle-dazzle was for her appearance at the CFDA Fashion Awards.

The Council of Fashion Designers of America website describes the group as a “not-for-profit trade association” and that their mission “is to strengthen the impact of American fashion in the global economy.”

Fans were not only stunned by her outfit of choice, but some others also felt like the mother of three looked like other celebrities. One person said, “Giving Very Much Halle.” Someone else mimicked that sentiment but added to the list of people Ciara’s look evoked. They wrote, “It’s giving Halle Berry, it’s giving JLo , it’s giving Ci.”

Some of her followers suspected that Ciara’s stylist was inspired by French singer, actress, and animal activist Brigitte Bardot with her hairstyle. One said, “So stunning 😍. Love the Brigitte Bardot hair with this classic look,” and another asked, “Inspired by Brigitte Bardot? Very beautiful and class as always.”

Independent journalism still matters.

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.
