Ciara has "One, Two Step"-ed onto the 2024 ESPY Awards' stage in style!

On Thursday, July 11, the 38-year-old R&B star opened the annual awards show with a high-energy performance, donning a sexy leather catsuit to play some of her well-known hits like "Goodies," "Level Up" and "One, Two Step." Her long blonde hair was styled into voluminous waves.

It's been a major few months for Ciara, who not only just kicked off her tour with Missy Elliott and recreated the cover of her debut album Goodies for its 20th anniversary, but just toasted an 8th wedding anniversary with her husband Wilson.

Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback celebrated the milestone by sharing a compilation of photos featuring Ciara and their four children: Amora, 6 months, Win, 4, Sienna, 7, and Future Zahir, 10, from her previous relationship with rapper Future.

“Celebrating 8 years of God’s love & grace over us @Ciara! 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,” Wilson wrote. “Here’s to a lifetime more. I love you Mrs. Wilson to Heaven & back! ??.”

The ESPY Awards are airing live on ABC beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
