The pop star opted for a chic couture gown from Stephane Rolland’s Fall 2016 collection, tailored to accommodate her growing baby bump. The dress featured a long-sleeved top that flowed into a dramatic, puffy high-low skirt.

Ciara arrived to present an award to The Chainsmokers that night, so comfort was key. The pop star mentioned that wearing a dress too tight around her bump would have made it difficult for her to breathe.

Luckily, the people of Stephane Rolland accommodated changes up to the last minute. Ciara’s stylist was also snipping the straps of her custom Giuseppe Zanotti heels.
