The hustle and bustle of appearing on the red carpet is difficult. What’s even harder, however, is going through the rigorous backstage preparations while carrying a baby bump. Ciara gave us a peek at what it’s like to prepare for one of the biggest awards show of the year, all while being five months pregnant.
The singer glowed as she stepped out onto the red carpet of the 2016 American Music Awards in Los Angeles.

The pop star chose a comfortable-looking couture dress from Stephane Rolland’s Fall 2016 collection, which had to be altered to fit mom-to-be’s precious little bump. The dress had a long sleeved top that billowed out into a puffy high-low skirt.
Ciara finished her look with custom Giuseppe Zanotti platform pumps.

Ciara had arrived to present an award to The Chainsmokers that night, which is why it was crucial for her to be comfortable in her dress. The pop star said wearing a dress that was too tight on her bump would have given her a hard time breathing.
Luckily, the people of Stephane Rolland accommodated changes up to the last minute. Ciara’s stylist was also seen snipping the straps of her custom Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
