Taylor Swift - English
Ciara Wilson-award-winning singer, entrepreneur, and wife of NFL quarterback Russell Wilson-recently received a notable recognition from Marie Claire magazine, being named among its 2025 “Class of Icons.”
The prestigious list, which also features global stars like Taylor Swift and Zendaya, celebrates women who have had a transformative impact on culture, style, and society at large. For Ciara, it’s another moment in a career defined by versatility, resilience, and reinvention.
What made headlines, however, was Ciara’s modest and lighthearted response to receiving the same distinction as the pop powerhouse Taylor Swift.
Taking to Instagram, Ciara simply posted a screenshot of the Marie Claire feature with the caption, “So cute.” The understated reaction struck a chord with fans-humble, heartfelt, and classic Ciara.

Ciara’s cultural impact spans music, fashion, and philanthropy
Though many first knew her for early 2000s hits like “Goodies” and “1, 2 Step,” Ciara has proven herself to be far more than a pop artist. Over the past two decades, she has cemented her place in fashion, business, and community advocacy.
Her appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, where she wowed in a custom LaQuan Smith ensemble, reaffirmed her position as a style icon who evolves with the times while maintaining her distinct presence.
More than just a fashion figure, Ciara has made philanthropy a core part of her identity. She recently co-hosted the Dance Icon event with Russell Wilson, raising an impressive $2.5 million to support youth education and health initiatives through their Why Not You Foundation.
This effort exemplifies how she and Wilson leverage their platforms to inspire positive change-especially for underserved communities.
In music, Ciara remains just as relevant. She is gearing up to release her eighth studio album, CiCi, slated to drop on July 11, 2025.
The album features collaborations with hip-hop artists like Tyga and Latto and is rumored to strike a balance between her nostalgic R&B roots and fresh, upbeat sounds tailored to today’s audiences. Fans are eagerly awaiting what may be her most personal and dynamic project yet.
Ciara’s inclusion in Marie Claire’s “Class of Icons” isn’t just about celebrity-it’s about substance. From chart-topping records to red carpet excellence and meaningful philanthropy, she exemplifies what it means to be a modern icon.
And in true Ciara fashion, her humble, two-word reaction says everything about the grace and quiet strength that have carried her to the top.

Jágr zpátky v Pittsburghu. Dostal Emmy a zkontroloval dres: Zmuchlaný jako můj obličej
Jak je jeho zvykem, již 53letý stále aktivní hokejista přinesl do Pittsburghu dobrou náladu. Nadšeně se zdravil s bývalým spoluhráčem a aktuálním skautem organizace Kevinem Stevensen, generálním manažerem Kylem Dubasem i jeho asistentem Jasonem Spezzou. A seznamoval se i s novým hlavním trenérem týmu Danem Musem.Před kamerami se však nejvíce bavil s Kevinem Acklinem, končícím prezidentem obchodního provozu. „Udělali jsme posezonní trejd,“ představil Jágra s pořádnou dávkou nadsázky.A pak mu předal prestižní ocenění. „Dali jsme dohromady týmy, které v letech 1991 a 1992 vybojovaly Stanley Cup, ty jsi mluvil od srdce k fanouškům, a celá tahle zkušenost vyhrála Emmy. Takže pro tebe mám tuhle cenu, jsi oficiálně…“ říkal Acklin a než stihl dokončit větu, rozjařený Jágr mu skočil do řeči: „Herec!“ smál se. „Myslel jsem, že to je oficiální smlouva od Hollywoodu,“ vtipkoval.Poté přeci jen trochu zvážněl a s oceněním televizní akademie, které obdržela jeho ceremonie s vyřazením čísla 68, zapózoval. „My jsme to fakt vyhráli, […]
