2. Metallic Glamour: Atelier Versace With Sparkling Strappy Heels
At the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills on February 24, Ciara joined Russell Wilson in a sheer Atelier Versace gown covered in intricate metallic detailing. Its high neckline and thigh-high slit created a dramatically different silhouette from her Stéphane Rolland look.

She paired the embellished gown with metallic strappy high heels, allowing the slim straps and reflective finish to pick up the detailing of the Versace dress without adding another competing element.
3. Head-to-Toe Leather: Michael Costello Jumpsuit With Pointed Boots
One week earlier, at the Hollywood Beauty Awards in Los Angeles on February 17, Ciara took an almost entirely monochromatic approach in a custom black leather jumpsuit by Michael Costello.
She completed the all-black look with pointed-toe leather high-heeled boots, extending the jumpsuit’s fitted silhouette all the way to the floor.

4. Minimalist in Black: Romona Keveža Silk Dress With Strappy Sandals
At Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala and Grammy Salute to Industry Icons in Beverly Hills on February 9, 2019, Ciara joined Russell Wilson in a black Romona Keveža Spring 2018 silk dress with an asymmetric draped neckline and an open back.

She kept the footwear equally understated, choosing minimalist black strappy high-heeled sandals that kept the focus on the dress’s fluid silhouette. Butani diamond earrings and Yvan Tufenkjian diamond rings added the finishing touches.
