Did anyone catch Ciara at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards? The sultry singer was decked out in Givenchy haute couture (oh, to be pals with head designer Riccardo Tisci), pairing a heavily embellished jacket over a lace jumpsuit.

Ciara didn’t want her hair and makeup to compete with the intense drama of her ensemble, so she enlisted makeup artist Yolanda Frederick to create a nearly-natural red carpet look that showcased her already-gorgeous features.

Ciara is having a bit of a bondage moment, too, in a long-sleeved black Givenchy dress that has everything but the kitchen sink on it — black dots, clear crystals and silk cord. Oh yeah, it’s also got vertebrae-like details. Los Angeles Times (Blog)

Ciara: Lace? Rhinestones? The accents don’t seem too bad alone, but Ciara’s getup combined every embellishment possible…in black. The result? Something that wouldn’t even look cool at a goth convention. Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Ciara’s long-sleeved black Givenchy dress had everything but the kitchen sink on it — lace, clear crystals, silk cord and vertebrae-like details. It was a “Mad Max” moment for sure. And not in a good way. Miley Cyrus’ dark green Herve Leger mini-dress and messy hair didn’t do her any favors, either. Los Angeles Times

Ciara has been making headlines at the Paris Couture shows.

A muse to Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci, the Grammy-award winning singer attended their couture show this week wearing a look that was concurrently shown on the runway.

Equally jealously-inducing? Her always perfect makeup, which, Ciara tells us, is thanks to the talented makeup artist she never leaves home without.

I AM CIARA. YESTERDAY WAS WORLD AIDS DAY. HIV/AIDS IS THE #1 KILLER OF AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINA WOMEN IN MY AGE GROUP. PLEASE GET TESTED, YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT

I am so blessed to have the opportunity to use my voice today to help spread the message about this terrible disease that is still killing so many young people, especially women. Let’s not pretend this could not happen to you because it can. What are you doing to protect yourself? Even if you think you are in love, you should still protect yourself until both you and your partner get tested and have proof. Do not be ashamed to have this conversation with someone you are thinking about being intimate with. If they truly love you and love themselves, then they will agree on how important it is to not risk their life or yours. This is a reality. We are all at risk but we can take action to protect ourselves. Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can and should do today. Get Tested.

xo,
Ciara
