Ciara rocks sexy black leather jumpsuit to kick off The Espys with medley of her hits... hours before having to perform AGAIN on tour

Ciara kicked off the 2024 ESPY Awards by performing a medley of her hit songs including Goodies, Level Up, and One, Two Step onstage the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday.

The 38-year-old Grammy winner showcased her 5ft7in post-baby body wearing a sexy black leather custom Rey Ortiz jumpsuit, featuring a chain-covered half-peplum, and FENDI combat boots selected by stylist Marni Senofonte.

Hairstylist Davontaé Washington coiffed Ciara's (born Ciara Princess Harris) middle-parted blonde wavy wig for the sporty awards ceremony.

Make-up artist Yolonda Frederick fully contoured the Altar (Remix) singer's complexion -giving her a smoky eye, defined brows, and glossy pout.

Ciara - whose final day of breastfeeding was July 2 - only welcomed her fourth child seven months ago.

On April 23, the Texan-born Army brat revealed she weighed 181.4lbs with an Instagram snap of her scale as she wrote that she was actively 'trying to lose 70lbs.'

Joining Ciara onstage were a bevy of female back-up dancers all paying tribute to Espys host Serena Williams by donning her historic tennis ensembles.

The 42-year-old four-time Olympic gold medalist made sure to congratulate the OAMskin co-founder's husband Russell Wilson, who was seated in the audience, 'because dang' she quipped.

And while Ciara skipped the red carpet, the 35-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback posed while clad in an all-white outfit, which he modeled with and without the matching jacket.

Russell - who signed a one-year, $1.2M contract with his team - just posted some snaps of himself working out with running back Najee Harris at UCLA before they have to report to Latrobe, PA in two weeks.

The inseparable couple celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary last Saturday, and The Color Purple actress gushed about how much she loves 'walking with you, talking with you, being in your arms, and doing everything with you!'

Ciara - who boasts 73.4M social media followers - continued: 'I'm the happiest girl because of how you love me! I'm so grateful for our love! Eight years! So proud of us! Yay! Happy anniversary my love! @DangeRussWilson. I love you so much!'

Wilson posted a similar PDA-filled video captioned: 'Since we met, you've been my strength in every trial. My joy in every moment. My peace in every prayer. God blessed me with the most incredible gift in you! I am so grateful for our journey together. Here's to a lifetime more. I love you Mrs. Wilson to heaven and back!'
