I've always loved rooting for an underdog and since her debut in 2004, Ciara's been steadily churning out booty-shaking hits while never quite attaining the level of success of say, a Rihanna, a Beyoncé or even an Ashanti. Luckily, Givenchy's brooding creative director Riccardo Tisci is similarly obsessed with Cici and, known for his love of dogs, has annointed her one of his muses. Fashion has fully-embraced the songstress with a stunner of an editorial in Vogue Italia now Ciara returns with this shot from Vogue Paris. 

I'm getting a little, or a lot, of Janet Jackson circa "You Want This" slash TLC circa "Waterfalls" right now.  Which means I'm fully on board. Hopefully there's more to come but until then, do yourself a favor and check out this performance of "Love. Sex. Magic." featuring one Ms. Justin Timberlake from SNL to see what all the hype's about.
