Ciara is business chic in an oversized blazer while serving as the keynote speaker at a beauty summit in LA
Ciara was among the stars to attend the second day of The Voices Of Beauty Summit at California Market Center in Los Angeles on Thursday.
The singer and actress, 38, dropped a retro 1980s look by donning a black oversized blazer with matching skin-tight pants and a top when she served a keynote speaker for day two.
Being the founder of OAM Skin By Ciara, the actress and singer-turned-entrepreneur had a lot to say when she sat down with Jessica Cruel, Editor-in Chief at Allure, for a Fireside chat.
The event also showcases other industry powerhouse speakers from beauty brands like Glossier, Pattern Beauty, Tower 28, Live Tinted, and PHLUR, retailers like Ulta, Forever21, JCPenney, Fabfitfun, Credo, and beauty publications such as Allure, Cosmopolitan and Refinery29, according to the VBS website.
The summit, which featured John Legend as the keynote speaker during day one, addressed issues like 'diversity and inclusivity from all angles of the industry — from building a truly authentic brand consumer behavior and funding an inclusive future to accessibility in beauty.'

On this day guests got a pack of information on how to reach a diverse consumer base, breaking down barriers in media, accessibility in beauty, the ever-changing retail landscape, and so much more.
Decked out in her all-black ensemble, Ciara (born Ciara Princess Harris) also wore stiletto-heeled boots and had her raven tresses styled long, straight and full of volume with a part in the middle.
The Foot Hood, Texas native first jumped into the beauty game by launching OAM, which stands for 'On a Mission', with five products in September 2022.
The company is a 'clinically-formulated Vitamin C skincare line founded by Ciara and a team of leading skincare experts,' it reads on the OAM website.
'I founded OAM as a clinical collaboration with a team of skincare experts, research scientists, dermatologists, and an MIT engineer,' she's says as part of its marketing. 'We're on a mission to create a simple routine for all skin tones.'
It took two and a half years of tests and trial to create a line that made clinical skincare both simple and accessible for all skin tones and types.
Ciara rose to prominence with her debut studio album, Goodies (2004) and its lead single of the same name (featuring Petey Pablo), which peaked atop the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles Chart.
The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and received two nominations at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards.
