There's lots to love about the hooded gown trend, but our favorite part (of course) is how celebrities are tailoring their hairstyles to complement the mysterious silhouette. Ciara is the latest star to wear the look, pairing a black velvet gown with bright blonde finger waves that give her a goddess-like aura.
Ciara's beauty and styling team put together the look to kick off Grammy weekend with a bang. Hairstylist Cesar Deleon Ramirez is responsible for shaping the pristine waves that fell against Ciara's forehead with a 1920s-style curl. Her platinum hair complements the brass sleeve she wore on her right arm, and makeup artist Yolonda Frederick tied it together with nude lip gloss and a golden highlight on her nose. The red manicure is the perfect finishing touch to this fierce ensemble. Maybe she heard about the red nail theory on #BeautyTok?
If you think Ciara would end the night with only one hairstyle, we're here to tell you that it only gets better. She later performed at the Recording Academy Honors Presented by the Black Music Collective, swapping her waves for a slicked-back, wet-looking style with her hair all behind her shoulders. Chron reported that it was a night where music legends Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott, and Dr. Dre were celebrated. Ciara honored Elliott by singing a slew of her songs. Hopefully, we'll see more exciting looks from Ciara during the big show on Sunday night.
