Oh Say Can You See the Problem With Ciara's National Championship Dress?

"So, what did you think of the dress Ciara wore to sing the national anthem?" I asked my boyfriend, knowing he had surely tuned in to the College Football Playoff National Championship game between Alabama and Clemson. "Psh, it was ridiculous," he laughed. Wait, what?!

Read on to catch a glimpse of the singer's look from all angles, and then check out the resulting Twitter controversy, which ended with Fox Sports journalist Jason Whitlock taking Ms. Bernstein's side on the issue.
