Splurge: Ciara’s Miss America 2016 Pageant Julea Domani Ivory Peplum Top, High Waisted Pencil Skirt and Monika Chiang ‘Carla’ Lace-Up Rope Gladiator Sandals

Songstress Ciara was an absolute vision as she tended to judging duties at the Miss America 2016 pageant in a striking $544 Julea Domani ivory peplum top and matching pencil skirt set and the ever-popular Monika Chiang ‘Carla’ lace-up rope gladiator sandals.

In contrast to CiCi’s version, the model’s ‘fit incorporates a more polished effect with a waist-cinching belt and patent leather pumps. The voluminous top includes an off-the-shoulder feature, a fitted silhouette and a crisp, clean look. And, the skirt is the icing on the cake. Cop your own set here!

Monika Chiang’s ‘Carla’ lace-up rope gladiator sandals are everywhere! A couple weeks ago, we saw Karrueche and Kylie Jenner slay in the decorated footwear but Ciara opted for more sophisticated vibes.

These versatile lovelies house a 4-inch stiletto heel, cream leather and a back zipper. Are you feeling them?

While I’m an avid supported of all things monochrome, I believe a lighter shoe would have been perfect for this frock (i.e- think Stuart Weitzman’s ‘Nudist’ sandal).
