Ciara opted for utilitarian styling for her Black Women in Excellence Dinner on Sunday in London. The singer was joined by such attendees as Yasmin Evans and Vanessa Kingori, among others, for the special occasion.

Ciara wore a design courtesy of Jonathan Anderson‘s label, JW Anderson, which was founded by the eponymous designer in 2007. The sleeveless bomber vest featured utilitarian elements, including large pockets at the hips, a zipper down the front placket and a sharp collar.

The vest also included an elongated frame. Ciara paired the piece with a coordinated miniskirt featuring similar utilitarian elements. The miniskirt included front pockets and a high-waisted silhouette for added definition.

To add some contrast to her attire, Ciara went with a sleeveless black top with a plunging neckline and bustier-style inspiration. When it came to her accessories, Ciara went with shimmering diamonds, with two layers of delicate necklaces and coordinated rings.

As for her glam, Ciara’s golden blond tresses cascaded down her shoulders and practically matched her vest. Her makeup included such elements as bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip.

Ciara’s choice to style a JW Anderson piece comes after the eponymous designer was announced as the eighth couturier of Dior. The 40-year-old designer succeeds Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri, whose departure from the French luxury fashion house was announced on Thursday.

“Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation. His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the house of Dior,” Bernard Arnault, chairman and chief executive officer of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Dior’s parent, said in a statement.
