Ciara defends her Met Gala dress in a recent interview
Back in March, Ciara caused jaws to drop when she wore a see-through dress to the post-Oscars Vanity Fair party. At the time she sent subtle messages on social media that she didn't acre about the backlash that she was receiving about the dress.
"Peter [Dundas] has been a close friend since we attended the Met Gala in 2021. He knows me well, and he gets and knows the womanβs body. I have an appreciation of the art of fashion and the vision of the artist who created the garment."
In a recent interview with LuisaViaRoma's LVR magazine, Ciara officially defended her choice of dress. She applauded designer Peter Dundas and credited his ability to design dresses that women love to wear.
She then said that she first saw the dress during Dundlas' annual fall fashion show. And, that is when she decided that she wanted to wear it.
