Ciara Has the Ultimate Beauty Solution for a Summer Date Night

Less than a week after debuting a high-impact pony tail in Los Angeles, Ciara is embracing an equally sleek style for summer’s last hurrah. For a date night at TAO on Thursday evening, the singer slicked her brunette lengths back into a heat wave-ready knot and added an It girl-approved swipe of crimson lipstick.

Paired with an asymmetrical metallic leopard-print mini dress, the bombshell put her seriously toned legs on display while showing off one of the season's breeziest makeup statements. While the star has tended towards a neutral complexion this season, focusing her efforts on that major set of waves, the bright add-on is a welcomed refresh. Because let's be honest, in the heat of August, is there any easier date-night move than swiping on a red hot pout before walking out the door? Let Ciara's speedy solution be your go-to until the cool air sets in.
