A person can’t help but follow the Ciara’s outfit story because the girl is everywhere. The evolution of Ciara is confusing….Look at the pics altogether and see what you have to say. It all adds up. Her style is ….

@29 to you cornrows mean”ghetto”?i feel sad for you,i suppose you’re the kind of girl who can’t live one day without a wig on her head,if i sum up your thoughts
cornrows=ghetto
fake wig/weave=good,perfect
you better go sit your fat ass down somewhere
self-hatred at its finest!!

Damn… what’s wrong with her calves except for them being mighty toned? And so what if she rockin cornrows? I could name a few celebs black and white that rocked cornrows on the red carpet before and looked good doing it. Hers are fine. She don’t need to be wearing some stupid weave on her head all the time! So she didn’t need to wear the belt with the dress… big deal! I’m hoping all yawl asses dress yawl ass off cause on some real shit, people need to give up this hatred thing in 09. Not a good look! People would d*ck ride Rihanna’s stupid, nasty, talentless “I need to dress well so I can stay relevant” ass no matter what shit she wears (she don’t be hittin it every time) but hate on the girls that actually do shit besides walk around Los Angeles, dressed up to go shopping and be photographed by the paps. GET A LIFE PEOPLE. Long live positive black women in the music industry like Ciara, Beyonce, J. Hudson, Jordin Sparks, etc. That trashy shit we’ve seen from overkill like Rihanna as of late is for the birds!

ALL THESE RNB CHICKS SUCK
Thursday, May 14, 2009 /
@ 82 skysound
And your tellin me that those braids ciara is rockin is her natural hair??? LOL
its indain remi bulk cornrowed into her natural hair, dont make me laugh..
These rnb girls look better when they have an expensive weave with a lace frontal attached or a full lace wig!
They look more polished and glamorous and I am not ashamed to admit it..
Ciara has been slackin in the hair department lately and this is a sign that she is runnin low on money…
she mus av some old lace wigs she can shampoo and install back on her head? becoz thats when she looks the best..
she looks cheap as hell with this hairstyle and the reason why i sed it looks ghetto is because the cornrows have been rushed and they look cheap, like someone said earlia.. Look at how big the partings are lmao.. whoever braided that mess was in a rush…! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
P.s if ciara was to cornrow her natural hair she wud look like OMARIAN (when he had the braids lol) thats how short the chix natural hair is SMDH

I’m sorry, but toned and malnourished are 2 different things! She looks so bony in the face, she looks sick and not in a good way. Is she in the new Star Trek movie, because she looks like an alien here.

@77
Cornrows (or Canerow) are a traditional style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows are often formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines, but they can also be done in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs. Often favored for their easy maintenance, cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time simply by carefully washing the hair and then regularly oiling the scalp and hair. Cornrowed hairstyles are often adorned with beads or cowry shells, in the African tradition. Depending on the region of the world, cornrows are typically worn by either men or women.

Erm, sorry but she looks ill/tired these days and too thin. And Monica, wearing braids for one day does not mean she is embracing her Nubian side. You and I both know she’ll back to her usual weave in no time…

I dont think ciara face can carry make-up…I think she looks the best when she has little to none make-up at all…..
ciara face is very skinny…it does look sickly…..I dont really care for the braids though and the dress….shes pretty much all ova the place….and she needs to find some ground….because shes been hitting misses with everything she does…

I think Ciara has a great body, but the heavy eye make-up and lashes ages her, Also she needs to take lessons from Tyra about what make-up tricks to do when rockin cornrows, and since when is rockin 3 packs of yaki in some cornrows “nubianesque”, and “afrocentric” hell its still weave!!! That biodegradable belt, and that sad lil belt, its a no-go Ms/.Harris
Kim K-looks like she got into Bruce Jenners Botox cabinet, whats wrong with her face? She looks like Lil Kim on WhiteFace Wednesdays!! ( After Thai Teusadays, and Malasyian Mondays). No Ma’am

Oh yeah and I am not feeling the peek-a-boo by that black bra Ciara is wearing…she should definitely fire her stylist and cuss out her entourage, best friend, whoever the hell let her walk out the house looking like that…..

@ 88 i agree with you. with the rihanna situation = since the leaked pictures you havent seen her ‘’spotted anywhere” . But hey before all this commotion she was out getting attention from the ”paps” left, right & centre.. It just goes to show that she take advantage of them when she wants. When it comes to serious stuff she flees the country. At the end of the day rihanna cant be giving ”fire shooting through her stare looks”. Because since GGGB she has given the ”paps” what they want, i bet at times she has paid them beforehand to arrive at location she will be at… She cant complain b/c she gave them authority, simple! You cant take that away…
Who ever said Rihanna calves are not sexy… what???
As i recall Ryan seacrest was drolling over them at the grammys red carpet(not this years, last years). He definately was dribbling. He asked her about her workout regime and said she looked beautiful. Mentioned her calves were out of this wordl. Look it up on youtube.Stop pick poinitng her, put your picture up next to your name so we can see how you look. please. ha!
Worshippers please dont attack me… Just because i downgrade your idolises…

cosign @ 111
Celebs are going to be rocking cornrow/french plaits. You might even see rihanna have 2 or three in her short haircut. Obviously it will be a attached to a weave. Remember where she got it from lol. jokes. So what if it out of style. People who rock something that is out of style, usually bring it back into style. Hello?!? Many celebs have done that.
By the way. to the person who said ciara hair is short as omarions. From the pic above you can see where her real hair stops. It starts to get thinnier. If ciara left her natural hair down it would at least seat in herr shoulder - or a little less of the shoulder..
She looks great though.besides the belt. love the bag!

Jada Smith was the first to do the cornrolls, so if anything, Jada is bringing them back!!!
Jada was the reason why I started rocking cornrolls againmyself
But I still think they look great on CiCi.

Sorry but Ciara and Kim look like trannies. I’ve seen them both look much better.
Ciara…smh…she needs a new glam squad. I agree with the person that said she looked better during the Goodies days. Thin is not always in. Her whole look is off. She needs a new style team - and , no, Kim is not the answer.

*This has nothing to do with Ciara*
So now there is a problem with rocking braids and its ghetto. All of you sound mentally challenged. Need to hop your behinds off the white man’s **** and take a look in the mirror. That is the beauty of black women’s hair. We can rock any hair style as we please. Im telling you, that damn relaxer done fried some of yall brain cells terribly. Sound just as ignorant as that stupid black girl on Tyra Banks show yesterday, talking about “white girl flow”. Ugh!! Makes me sick.

@88 yes u are definitely bleeding ignorance tlking about she does not need to rock some weave all the time, u really belive that’s her real hair?
Anyway ciara’s face looks pretty, she has very nice bone structure however minus her face she does look like a man, like wtf happened to the curvy ciara from goodies…I do understand people trying to be healthy but there’s a point when you’re just str8t up over doin it
150.

Thursday, May 14, 2009 /
her braids are sooooo pretty! most people try to get braids in the summer to keep that hair up and have less maintenance steps everyday. It’s a shame how weave and lacefronts brainwash people.
I love Ciara. Her two new singles are the hottness!
