How to Look Like Ciara

Ciara is a hip-hop superstar. She's beautiful, a good singer, young and knows how to dress to look her best. To pull off her look, you'll not only need to copy her hair, makeup and keen fashion sense, but you'll need to exude confidence.

Instructions

1. Wear low-cut, tight jeans with a solid-colored t-shirt. Also, get t-shirts with funny sayings on them, like "I don't like you," or shirts that say "princess," because Princess is Ciara's middle name. Wear a solid-colored, form-fitting hoodie over your t-shirt.

2. Slip on a killer dress for an evening out. Make sure it's tight and shows a lot of skin. To pull off another Ciara look, wear tight jeans or black pants with a low-cut, shiny tank top. Ciara is not a slave to fashion brands, so don't worry if you're not wearing designer clothes.

3. Slide on a pair of stiletto heels with your red-carpet look. Wear Puma sneakers or tall boots with your jeans. Slip on some flip-flops or heeled sandals with some short, denim shorts in the summer.

4. Dye your hair honey brown with light highlights. Grow it very long and have it cut in long layers. Go to your neighborhood salon and get extensions if your hair isn't that long and you don't want to wait for it to grow.

5. Style your hair. Part it down one side or straight down the middle. Blow dry it straight with a paddle brush, and use a thick curling iron to create waves at the ends of your hair. Spray it lightly with hairspray so it all stays in place.

6. Pay attention to your makeup by applying a bronzer and a light blush on the apples of your cheeks. Use bronze or rose-colored eyeshadow and brown eyeliner and mascara. Carry lip gloss with you at all times so your lips always look shiny. Keep your eyebrows plucked and well-groomed, and line them with an eyebrow pencil.

7. Accessorize with big hoop earrings or diamonds. If you can't afford real diamonds, buy fake ones. Ciara doesn't normally carry much of a purse, so if you have to carry anything, put it in a small clutch that matches your outfit. Wear long, spangly necklaces over your tiny shirts.

Tips & Warnings

• Hit the gym. Ciara is in excellent shape, and her body is curvy, but toned, so if you want to pull off her look, you'll have to work for it.
