Ciara responds to ‘selective outrage’ over sheer dress she wore to Vanity Fair Oscars after-party

Ciara has been praised for her response to the “selective outrage” she’s faced over the sheer dress she wore to Vanity Fair’s Oscars after-party.

The 37-year-old took to TikTok on Wednesday to make a joke about her after-party outfit, a sheer, netted dress, after the outfit choice sparked mixed reactions.

In the video, Ciara jokingly debuted the outfit she would be wearing next year, with the singer filming herself wearing a long white bed sheet and a pair of black sunglasses. She continued the bit in the text over the video, writing: “POV: How I’m pulling up to Vanity Fair next year.”

The clip also showed Ciara walking toward the camera and striking a few poses in her outfit. Once she got closer to the camera, she smiled and then walked away. She addressed the criticism over her dress in the caption, which she described as “selective outrage”.

As of 16 March, the video has more than 667,000 views, with fans praising the “Level Up” singer for her Oscars party look and for her amusing response to the backlash.

“Ciara reminding the masses that she’s that girl, always been that girl and will forever be THAT GIRL! My Queen purrr,” one fan wrote.

“Get em Cici... People [are] tripping for no reason,” another wrote. “You looked absolutely amazing.”

A third added: “Cici you looked AMAZING!”
