“Extra’s” Adam Glassman and Mona Kosar Abdi spoke with Russell and Ciara, whose look was inspired by Egyptian Queen Nefertiti.
Ciara shared, “I would say we have Queen Egyptian regality, inspiration, and energy going on. Nefertiti inspired so many artists, you know, in the industry and in general.”
Ciara said she was “excited” to able to represent that type of energy at the star-studded event.
As for how she’s keeping up her hair, Ciara shared, “Gold foil. The process is, like, literally, like, step by step. Caesar was very intentional how he placed the bowl and a lot of spray. There’s a lot that’s got to be in my head."
Russell was a proud husband, saying, “I’ve been very fortunate. Obviously, I get to go with her, so she always makes me look better.”
Wilson gave a shout-out to designer Brandon Blackwood and Jan-Michael Quammie for helping him come up with a look for tonight.
