Ciara responds to criticism for wearing a revealing party dress to the Oscars

WATCH: Happy anniversary Ciara and Russell Wilson

Ciara has responded to those who don’t approve of her Vanity Fair Oscars party dress.

For this year’s affair, the singer wore a sparkling, sheer, backless Dundas dress with a plunging V-neckline. She paired the look with a black thong, opera style gloves and a pair of Santoni shoes.

The “Level Up” singer’s look, which she later shared on Instagram, immediately drew a lot of mixed opinions, with many criticizing how revealing the look was.

“Less is more, little sister! This is embarrassing for your husband and children. Have some self respect, you’re a wife and mom,” one Instagram user wrote in the comments section of Ciara’s post.

Another wrote: “You are a stunning woman but this amount of skin is inappropriate for public events.”

Other fans and followers echoed these sentiments.

Ciara has since pushed back on those criticisms, posting a TikTok video on Thursday poking fun at the whole drama.

In the short clip, Ciara wears dark sunglasses and what appears to be a large sheet that covers her entire body. “How I’m coming to Vanity Fair next year,” she wrote in caption that superimposed the video, along with a teary-eyed laughing emoji.

“Selective outrage,” she added in the caption, along with a crying emoji.

In further response to the criticism, Ciara later posted a video of herself in a gray sweater dress and metallic boots while Beyoncé’s “Church Girl” played in the background.

“Strutting into the weekend like..,” she wrote in the caption of her TikTok post.
