Ciara Favors Shoulder Pads at Fanatics Super Bowl Party

Ciara embraced athletic inspiration at the Fanatics Super Bowl party on Saturday night in New Orleans. The “Goodies” artist performed at the annual bash, which was also attended by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models Brooks Nader and Alix Earle.

Ciara’s monochromatic look consisted of a black bomber with shoulder pads, a bustier top and a leather slit miniskirt. A pair of thigh-high boots, shield sunnies and layered necklaces — including a large diamond-encrusted cross pendant — completed her look.

The singer walked the carpet with her husband, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson. He also opted for an all-black look, wearing a knit short-sleeve shirt and skinny jeans.

Last week, Ciara attended the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles, where she donned a black floor-length gown with crystal embellishments and a matching cape.

Fashion designer Aurora James’ Fifteen Percent Pledge was founded in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, asking companies to reflect the Black community by dedicating 15 percent of their shelf space to Black-owned brands. This year’s gala, cohosted by Fifteen Percent Pledge chairwoman and Skims founding partner Emma Grede, raised $3 million for Black-owned businesses.

“In light of recent attacks on DEI, and as we go into an election year, it’s really important to remind people that this isn’t a political agenda, it’s about creating actual opportunity for small American-owned businesses,” James told WWD.

Speaking to WWD last fall at the New York launch party for her Bebe capsule, Ciara described the collection’s release as a “pinch yourself kind of moment.”

Her new capsule, available to shop now, features a full range of apparel and accessories such as knitwear, outerwear, watches and handbags. The collection even includes nods to her children with Wilson — various shoe and loungewear styles bear the names Sienna, Win and Amora.
