Ciara's Favorite Fashion Moments

The former tomboy turned Givenchy fashion muse talks about her favorite looks and how the collaboration with designer Riccardo Tisci came about.

By Celia L. Smith · November 27, 2012October 28, 2020
01
Black Girls Rock

“It was so fun because it was sort of risky in a sense,” Ciara told us about this look. ” It definitely had the elegance too but it also had the attitude.”

Stage Presence

“I wore the Givenchy neckpiece he sent me fresh from the runway,” explained Ciara. “The look that I wore on the carpet had a gold clutch that went on the actual outfit. I liked the piece and placed it on here; but my outfit isn’t Givenchy. My stylist actually made it from scratch, but I still put a Givenchy clutch on there.”

Sheer Beauty

“This was really fun. I love this look,” Ciara said about this beaded Givenchy beauty at the MOMA. “This was one of my favorite things from him.”

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards
“This one was one of my favorites,” says Ciara. “I really love this look; it was so amazing. If you would’ve held the dress up in front you, you would have been like ‘wow,’ to know that he put so much effort into making that dress. I was concerned about the wind blowing too much, but it all just flowed and just felt full.”
05
Ruffled Feathers
“I liked taking a risk with this look. Again, pull back the hair sleek and still have the tomboy-chicness to it with the shorts and the tall boots that I wore with this. And it just really felt cool and different.”

Rock On!
“It was like just doing something, pushing myself, going for something different, and having fun! The Grammys is rock ‘n roll, you know what I mean? It’s the place to try and have fun,” said Cece about her rocker-esque look designed by Riccardo Tisci.

07
Sleek & Chic

“I really love the dress because it was so sleek and still gave edge. I was still able to be the tomboy that I am. I could be that and still have the sleek, kind of sexy edge to it.”

08
‘That’s My Boy’ Premiere

“That was a Givenchy T-shirt. Just simple, throwing on my Louboutin boots. You know chill; kind of around the way girl. Just relaxing back. I was actually getting ready to do the press junket for the Adam Sandler movie, That’s My Boy.”
