Ciara was a pillar of the early 2000s in more ways than one.
The singer, 38, has not only released some of the most recognizable songs of the decade (her debut album “Goodies” just celebrated its 20th anniversary), but her style has had a major influence on fashion trends.
Given her contributions to early culture, it seems only natural that the Grammy winner collaborates with Bebe. The clothing retailer was founded in the 1970s but became a fixture in the early 2000s and today continues to offer trendy yet affordable pieces (though it also stocks OG designs like their rhinestone logo tees).
The bebe x Ciara Fall 2024 capsule is available on bebe.com and select retailers on Tuesday, September 24th. Ciara is the creative director of the collection, which features 156 items in categories including dresses, denim, sportswear, accessories and more. Sizes range from XS to XL, and all models are under $299.

From a sleek satin dress to a classic rhinestone tee, Ciara says the capsule range is “inspired by the energy of Y2K, and some of them.”
“I wanted to make sure we were still using the now in the new, but again, that core aesthetic that we always loved about the baby was really important to me,” she says. “So I wanted to make sure we incorporated that into this new collection. And she’s edgy, she’s stylish, she’s fun, she’s edgy, she’s confident, she’s bold, she’s cool, she’s that girl.”
