Gateway Center Arena hosted the star-studded event. Coordinated by the nonpartisan organization When We All Vote, the VIP portion of the rally featured Rita Wilson, Kate Capshaw, Shonda Rimes, and Ciara.

<p id=”par-3_64″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ciara-and-russell-wilson-discuss-futures-public-toxicity-in-candid-new-interview.html/”>Ciara</a> took the stage to encourage voters to get out to the polls and bring friends and family, too. The 39-year-old, known for her sexy style, covered up in an unusual suitcoat. Designed by NAMILIA, the camouflage coat featured a floor-length structured body and widely oversized shoulder pads. The Berlin-based label specializes in bold designs and signature club wear for “rebels” and “provocateurs.” </p>

<p id=”par-4_62″>This suitcoat coat in particular is from NAMILIA’s fall/winter 2024 collection. Ciara accented it with a simple all-black ensemble underneath. Fresh off a long weekend in NYC, she <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/ciara-head-turning-fall-fashion-nyc-husband-russell-wilson-swooning.html/”>wore her go-to pair of round wire-rimmed sunglasses</a>, which she just donned for her SiriusXM interview in Manhattan. The “Goodies” singer added subtle brown lipstick and painted her almond-shaped nails a simple nude beige.</p>

<p id=”par-6_93″>Born in Fort Hood, Texas, the Army brat spent much of her teen years in College Park. According to <a href=”https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5139316/singer-ciara-speaks-campaign-rally-kamala-harris” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>C-SPAN</a>, Ciara started her speech, “Being back home always hits different because ATL made me who I am today.” She later stated, “[Georgia] might even be the make-or-break state; the state that decides the winner next week … That’s why, starting right now, you have to do whatever you can to show up for whatever candidates and issues you care about … Make sure you get out there. There is no time to waste.”</p>
