Ciara Walks Junya Watanabe Runway Three Times While Pregnant

The appearance showcased maternity visibility on a major Paris Fashion Week runway as a personal milestone for the singer.

Overview

  • Ciara made a surprise appearance in Junya Watanabe’s Spring/Summer 2027 show on Oct. 3, walking the runway three times with her baby bump visible.
  • Each look was built on a purple crop-top and leggings base and styled to highlight her midsection with a trench, a shredded leather jacket and a chandelier crystal headpiece.
  • She wrote that she feared mentioning her pregnancy might cost her the spot but called the runway turn a “Major Dream Come True” and said she held back tears.
  • Hours after the show she attended the Business of Fashion BoF500 Gala in a sheer black lace dress that again revealed her pregnancy, which will be her fifth child and her fourth with Russell Wilson.
  • The designer’s choice to place a visibly pregnant performer center stage drew widespread social and media attention and reinforced a push for greater maternity visibility in high fashion.
