Pregnant Ciara Bares Her Bump in a See-Through Dolce Lace Dress at the BoF 500 Gala

Ciara is not doing maternity modesty. At the BoF 500 Gala at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris on Saturday, October 3, the pregnant 40-year-old put her growing bump front and centre in a sheer black floral-lace midi that fashion account Runway x Red Carpet identified as Dolce & Gabbana.

HELLO! reported the transparent lace revealed black satin bra panels and matching briefs underneath, with a plunging neckline, delicate straps and gathered detailing around the waist and hips. The lace skirt fell below her knees to pointed black patent heels, and she piled on an oversized sparkling cross pendant, layered chains and a statement ring. BCK Online says she topped it all with an oversized black coat. Ciara’s own verdict online: “a night to remember.”

It was a double shift. Hours earlier she made a surprise appearance on the Junya Watanabe Spring/Summer 2027 runway, bump on show, in a purple cropped top, leggings with pink accents, red boots and a dramatic crystal headpiece — a moment she called a “major dream come true.”

Ciara announced on September 6 that she and husband Russell Wilson are expecting — “One more person to love,” she wrote. It will be her fifth child and her fourth with Wilson. Not everyone was sold on the gala look: Fashion Times reported mixed reactions online to the lingerie-under-lace styling, headlining its story “Lingerie in Public?”

Scoop’s verdict? Lace: locked. Bump: centre stage. Ciara just made the BoF 500 carpet her personal maternity shoot.
