Ciara receives prestigious Avant-Garde Award in Los Angeles
Ciara and her daughter, Sienna Wilson, stole the spotlight at The Connie Orlando Foundation's inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner in Los Angeles. The dynamic mother-daughter duo turned heads with their perfectly coordinated power suits, proving that style and confidence run in the family. The event celebrated Black women's contributions to the music industry, and Ciara was honoured with the Avant-Garde award for her trailblazing work, according to WWD. The singer, known for hits like Level Up , embraced a sharp, tailored look that combined menswear elements with feminine flair. Her outfit was a masterclass in modern elegance. Ciara wore sleek black trousers paired with a structured blazer. The blazer was a standout piece, featuring a silky sheen on the lapels that contrasted beautifully with the softer fabric of the jacket. Little Sienna, just eight years old, matched her mother's style flawlessly. She donned a mini version of Ciara's suit, complete with a crisp blazer and tailored trousers. The young fashionista's confident stride on the red carpet was a joy to watch. Ciara shared a heartfelt moment about the experience: 'It's so special to share this with Sienna. Seeing her embrace her own style and confidence reminds me why representation matters.' Her husband, NFL star Russell Wilson, who shares Sienna with Ciara, expressed pride in the family's united front. 'They both looked incredible. It's amazing to see my girls shining together.' Ciara's style offers inspiration on blending boldness with elegance. The tailored suits reflect a global trend towards power dressing. The event also highlighted the importance of celebrating Black excellence, a message that strikes a chord locally. The Black Women in Music Dinner took place at the Audrey Irmas Pavilion, a venue known for hosting prestigious cultural events. The evening brought together influential figures from the music industry, all united in recognising the achievements of Black women. Ciara and Sienna's coordinated looks sent a clear message: confidence and heritage are the ultimate accessories. This mother-daughter moment was more than a fashion statement. It was a celebration of legacy, culture, and the unstoppable force of Black women in music and beyond. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Ciara and Her Daughter Sienna Twin in Power Suits at the Inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner
Ciara and her eight-year-old daughter Sienna Wilson made the case for mother-daughter coords on Tuesday at The Connie Orlando Foundation's inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner in Los Angeles. The mononymous singer received the Avant-Garde award at the event. For the red carpet occasion, Ciara opted for suited styling, giving menswear an edgy spin with feminine touches throughout. The 'Level Up' artist opted for tailored black trousers, which coordinated with the singer's structured blazer.

The blazer featured a cinched waist for added silhouette definition and rounded shoulders with long sleeves. Beneath the blazer, Ciara wore a crisp, collared white shirt with a silk black tie and a metallic silver tie clip. The singer's look was recreated in a miniaturized version for her eight-year-old daughter, who wore the exact same suited look with a pair of black kitten heel shoes. Ciara shares Sienna with husband Russell Wilson. Menswear, particularly suited looks, for women reached an apex between 2024 and 2025. Culturally significant figures like former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as royal women like Queen Letizia of Spain and Kate Middleton, have embraced the power suit to mainstream relevance. Its ripple effect has been felt globally, with London-based brands 'expanding their offerings to cater to women's tailoring, with special care to detail and design,' WWD's Hikmat Mohammed reported in August 2024. For Ciara, the coordinated look with her daughter exemplifies much more than the trendy power suit for women. The coordinated red carpet moment also served as a reminder of the ways in which the singer enriches her daughter's life with fashion to sentimental ends. 'I definitely plan to collect things for her,' the singer told WWD in an interview from March 2018. 'I was in the closet the other day and I was putting on some heels and Russ was like, 'SiSi's [her daughter Sienna] gonna have those.' She was sitting around, so we were joking like, you're gonna have those when I get older — or when she gets older,' she said, adding, 'I definitely plan to keep a lot of cool things for her, especially jewelry pieces.'
