Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara Wilson, pulled up to Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals looking sharp in matching fits. It was date night at Madison Square Garden. But let’s be real, it didn’t bring the Knicks any luck, as they took another tough loss to the Pacers. Since Russ landed in New York this offseason, the couple’s been all in on the city. They’ve hit a few Knicks games, posed for pics, and even had Karl-Anthony Towns make them look like miniatures in a photo. And just when you think Ciara couldn’t own the spotlight anymore, she did it again. One big red carpet, and she stole the internet like always.
This month, the fashion queen dominated with her look at the Met Gala. After turning heads in a partially sheer black and silver LaQuan Smith gown, Ciara Wilson was back again with another mesmerizing appearance at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. But all of this was for a special cause. Ciara lit up Instagram on May 23, 2025, dropping some pictures, clips, and a fire carousel, including a video clip of her performance, that had everyone talking. In the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival, CiCi wore a cream-colored Stephane Rolland dress with a long train, paired with diamond jewelry and a bob haircut.
As Cannes wrapped up, all eyes shifted to one unforgettable night at the iconic Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. That’s where the amfAR gala took over, packed with stars, glam, and a purpose that hits deeper than just fashion. Celebs and big-name philanthropists roll in, not just to dazzle on the carpet, but to help raise serious money for life-changing biomedical research. Here, Ciara Wilson rocked the stage with Gaurav Gupta’s ‘Black Sabre‘ gown. Yeah, that stunning layered black jacket dress with sacred chants woven right into the fabric, fresh off Paris Couture Week SS’25.
