This pose is the kind of thing that's maybe a little... tight, modeling-wise, but it works here because Allure is all abut the face. And what a face.

The profile talks a lot about Black hair and how its traditions fit into Ciara's youth (she dreamed of opening salons), so I love that they styled her in ways that honor that.

This is art.

And you won't be shocked to hear she has a skincare line.
