While Ciara might have had a busy week sitting front row at New York Fashion Week [1], she certainly didn't forget about the VMAs [2]. The artist was there to introduce Normani ahead of her epic performance of "Wild Side." She chose a long-sleeved black dress for the show, but make no mistake, it wasn't an ordinary LBD — the lace inserts and cutout across the chest made it a classically sexy Ciara look.

Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, the singer's sleek Tom Ford dress was layered over Commando briefs [3] and complete with Yeprem jewels and Femme LA shoes. And in case you were wondering, the exact dress is available to purchase [4] . . . for a cool $28,900, if you're interested. See Ciara's gown from all angles ahead.
