Ciara Proves That Red Carpet Maternity Style Can Be Ridiculously Sexy at the Oscars

Who says red carpet maternity style [1] can't be ridiculously sexy? Ciara gave new meaning to the term pregnancy glow at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party [2] held in Beverly Hills. The "Goodies" singer oozed glamour and sex appeal in a sparkling, sheer gown, which was a custom creation by British fashion house Ralph & Russo.

Ciara is carrying her third child with husband [3] Russell Wilson, and there are few pregnant celebrities [4] that we've seen look as incredible as she did on the red carpet. We love that Ciara has enough confidence to take a fashion risk — wearing a naked dress while pregnant — and she looked so polished and elegant. Ciara, and her team, definitely mastered the line between sexy and sophisticated with this epic fashion moment.

The Beauty Marks [5] singer's custom gown featured a black, strapless bustier bodysuit layered underneath a sheer Grecian-style, one-shoulder dress covered in silver crystals. In addition to the sexy, see-through mesh fabric, Ciara showed off her toned legs with a leg slit that ran all the way up to her hips. She paired the look with strappy silver-grey heels and a matching black mesh, crystal-covered hair band. For extra goddess vibes, Ciara went for a soft glam beauty look — bronzed, neutral-looking makeup and a tousled high bun with wispy, '90s-inspired face-framing tendrils [6].
