Ciara Lands First Ever VOGUE Cover

Congratulations are in order for Ciara, who just landed her first VOGUE cover — for VOGUE Arabia’s February 2019 issue. Her feature story includes lots of quotes about her family and precious kiddos, like this one:

“Being a mother of two made me feel even more confident, inspired, and fearless. Motherhood definitely gives you a new conscience.”

And this one:

“Seeing my kids dancing to my music or hearing my husband saying he is proud of me makes me feel accomplished,” reveals @Ciara.

Hit the flip more photos from the issue.

If you didn’t already know — Ciara suffers from a fear of horses can be traced back to a family vacation where a horseback-riding excursion on the beach went bad when Cici’s horse got out of control.

“It’s funny because growing up I loved horses, and I always admired their beauty. When my ride decided to take off and gallop in another direction, I saw my entire life flashing in front of my eyes,” the star recalls speaking to Vogue Arabia.

Congratulations Ciara!

She looks amazing in these pictures.

One of our favorite parts about the interview had to be with Ciara explained how her parents settled on her name. It turns out the Harrises got the name from one of their favorite scents, a vanilla and musk-infused fragrance from Revlon entitled “Ciara”.

The perfume, which was introduced in 1973, is still sold today. Things would come full circle when in 2016, the singer was tapped as the brand’s newest brand ambassador, joining the ranks of fellow celebrity influencers Olivia Wilde and Halle Barry. Speaking to WWD about the partnership, the artist revealed, “my mom had been trying to figure out my name for a long time before I was born. Then my dad bought her the fragrance — the Ciara fragrance by Revlon — from the commissary at the military base. They were in Texas, he bought her the fragrance, and not only did he love this fragrance, but the name also really resonated with her and she ditched all the other names and Ciara became my name.”

Dope story right?!
