Ciara opted for contrasting fabric play in a custom design courtesy of Valdrin Sahiti for the 2026 NFL Honors on Thursday night in San Francisco, Calif. The “Level Up” singer wore a formfitting, glittering silver gown with a black lacy corseted bustier detail on the bodice. The sleeveless gown channeled lingerie inspiration, providing some sartorial friction thanks in no small part to Sahiti’s contrasting material at the bodice.
Thin, shimmering straps connected to the lace black bustier, which featured exposed boning and a botanical-inspired pattern with a sweetheart neckline. Cascading down the skirt of the gown in an asymmetric line was the silver beadwork.
Curated with a fanned pattern, the intricate beadwork spread throughout the dress on a silhouette that formed to Ciara’s frame. When it came to accessories, the singer went minimal, keeping the ornately designed gown the centerpiece of her red carpet look.

As for glam, Ciara’s long hair was styled with waves and a middle part. Makeup highlights included bold brows, lined, smokey eyes and a glossy lip to boot. The singer attended the NFL Honors on Thursday night alongside her husband of 10 years, New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson.
Valdrin Sahiti’s glamorous designs are a favorite among such high-profile stars as Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. Known for intricate beadwork and shimmering details, Sahiti’s feminine designs merge old school glamour with a contemporary approach, ideal for today’s biggest pop stars.
