Cop a gander at Ciara, who styles and profiles for the latest issue of Alexa Magazine!
The GRAMMY-winning chanteuse has been booked and busy as she continues the push for her new studio album ‘CiCi.’
Beyond styling in and profiling for the chic shoot, the singer opened up about mounting a campaign of omnipresence for her LP, moving to New York with Russell Wilson and their family, touring, starring in the ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, and more.
Head below for pics and quotes….
On Going All Out For ‘CiCi’ Album:
“I feel like an octopus! I’ve been going nonstop!. It’s been a little overwhelming at times. But we decided to call it being blessed out versus being stressed out.”
On Relocating to New York After Russell Wilson’s Move to the Giants:
“We love our date nights! hey say you can never eat enough in your lifetime to get to all of the restaurants here. And we’re going to go to some plays. Believe it or not, I never saw ‘Hamilton’!
It was so amazing being in the streets of the Lower East Side! There was so much color, texture and amazing street art with graffiti and murals all on the walls. It really felt like being in a movie!”
On Heading Up Her Own Label:
“Being in a man’s world, sometimes you have to make your shoulders stand up really high, even when you feel small. It’s the most liberating feeling, when you’re able to just go for it.
One of the most gratifying experiences is knowing I have ownership in what I’m creating. Sometimes I’m not going to get it right, you know? But I’ve always betted on myself.”
On Her Trademark Flexibility:
“We call it ‘strong knee game. People like me and Megan Thee Stallion [with whom she appeared this spring at Coachella], we got to keep the knees good! So, I’m making sure to train as much as I can. And after you’ve had four babies, your core is so weak! So, I don’t get too crazy.”
On Mounting a World Tour:
“My goal is to go around the world, so we’re working on the best plan for 2026.”
On Starring in the ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’:
“I just got a great chance to be a part of ‘Devil Wears Prada 2.“It’s a special moment in the film – I don’t want to speak out of turn, but being a part of that was definitely motivating for me.”
On Her Current Mindset:
“I’m kind of feeling like I’m just getting started!”
