The couple’s red carpet appearance comes after big casting news for Ciara, who recently joined the cast of the forthcoming The Color Purple movie musical. “Honored to be a part of this beautiful ensemble and historic film, The Color Purple,” Ciara tweeted following the announcement. “Truly grateful.”
She’ll be playing the adult version of the character Nettie, who is protagonist Celie’s little sister. Halle Bailey will play the younger version of the character, pulled from the pages of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Alice Walker book. Ciara and Halle will support songstress Fantasia Barrino, who will reprise her Broadway role as lead. The star-packed cast will also feature Taraji P. Henson, Colman Domingo, Danielle Brooks, Corey Hawkins, Louis Gossett Jr., David Alan Grier, and H.E.R.
While probably her more high-profile role to date, Ciara isn’t an acting amateur. She previously starred in 2006’s All You’ve Got and 2010’s Mama, I Want To Sing! She also appeared in 2012’s That’s My Boy, starring Adam Sandler, and had a recurring role on the popular BET series, The Game.
