Fans Defend Ciara ‘Embracing Sexuality’ With Her Oscars After-Party Look

The conversation began after Ciara—accompanied by her husband, Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson—hit the red carpet at the Vanity Fair after-party.

While Russell certainly looked snazzy in his suit, Ciara stole the show by stunningly donning a dress that left little to the imagination.

As people began to buzz about the star-studded Vanity Fair Oscar Party, one user proclaimed that it was “kinda wild” that Ciara decided to “start embracing sexuality” as a married mother-of-three. Additionally, she said, “Too late to be showing your a**.”

Having 3 kids and a husband then deciding “yea let me just start embracing sexuality” is kinda wild. Ciara definitely missed that train arguing with Rihanna. Too late to be showing your ass and your music not selling.

The user, as well as others, also questioned Ciara’s loyalty to Russell as a result of the outfit.

And yes Beyoncè does this and Nicki but their image is vastly different from the Princess of R&B. They are also far more successful. Its giving “I lost my confidence let me start trying shit.”

After seeing Ciara’s red carpet pics, I know without a doubt that Future is still hitting.

Women in committed relationships only dress like that when they have side n*ggas lol

Immediately, people began rushing to Ciara’s defense. First off, people clarified that Ciara didn’t “just start embracing sexuality,” and they used some of her songs to back up their point.

Huh? Ciara has BEEN embracing her sexuality.

BET literally banned the “Ride” video from the network b/c they thought it was too sexy.

Where did “just start” come from? https://t.co/O0mG4WrQX4

Another fan scoffed at the presumption that a woman embracing her body and looking good is indicative of cheating. She also pointed out that Ciara “always dress sexy.”

🤣🤣🤣 dressing sexy and looking TF good means you’re cheating🤣🤣 I guess Ciara been cheating on every single man she dated before Russ. Because SIS always dress sexy. https://t.co/U6y3xAEUDK

People also pointed out that, since Russell had no issue with what Ciara was wearing, the critics should mind their own business and keep their opinions to themselves.

Ciara wore that dress and her husband saw it and didn’t object to it. You and your is this appropriate for marriage think-pieces don’t matter.

Some even announced that people should be more concerned about what’s going on with their own situations instead. Oop!

Ciara dress got single unmarried men in a tizzy today.

Ultimately, one fan praised Ciara for not allowing the haters to “define [her] marriage,” as she powerfully embraces “stay[ing] beautiful, confident, and sexy while being married with children.”

Glad Ciara and many women like her don’t let you define their marriage. They allow themselves to stay beautiful, confident, and sexy while being married with children. Most of y’all are mad because y’all try to say women like them will never have those things and it’s not true.
