Remember when Neil Portnow, the president of the Recording Academy, said “women need to step up” if they want to be included in the overwhelming male-dominated awards show? Ciara was pretty much laughing in his face. The dynamo performer wasn’t afraid to show off her baby bump at a 2014 Grammys after-party – as much as she admitted to having a little stage fright.

By the time of the performance, a very pregnant Ciara already had an outfit change. She stunned on the red carpet in a shimmery Emilio Pucci gown then switched to a simple black tee and dramatic cape-inspired jacket. “The thing I love about something like this is that it’s all about encouraging women to work hard, and to do more of what you love,” she told CBS. This girl isn’t going to let a baby bump stop her from delivering an awesome performance.
