Ciara made a bold red carpet appearance at the 2019 ESPY Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Accompanied by her husband, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Ciara turned heads in a custom black satin Alexandre Vauthier gown that sparked mixed reactions for its bold and revealing design.

The gown featured a plunging neckline, thigh-high slit, and dramatic cut-outs that some critics called “tacky” or “dated,” while others praised its daring, sexy aesthetic as perfectly suited for the ESPYs’ sporty red carpet.
While Russel wore a Brioni tuxedo, an Alex Soldier diamond brooch, a David Yurman bracelet and rings, and black velvet Loriblu lace-up shoes, the “Level Up” singer donned a dated Alexandre Vauthier cutout dress.

“I’m pumped,” Ciara told ESPN on the carpet. “This is my favorite time of the year. I’m excited. I just get really pumped. I feel like some extra boost of energy that just kind of kicks in. I’m like, ‘Let’s go.’” “She loves the game,”
Russell chimed in. “I guess I think I know music very well, but I don’t. I can’t [dance like Ciara]. No one can.” His wife added, “I just say, he can dance really well on the field.”
Ciara showed off her feet in black satin Georgina sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti.
