Summer House Star Ciara Miller's Best (& Worst) Red Carpet Looks
Ciara Miller looks gorgeous without makeup, but she looks even better glammed up on red carpets. She rose to fame in 2021 when she appeared on Bravo's "Summer House," and quickly became a television icon due to her captivating on-screen presence. She's a former ICU nurse-turned-television star and red-carpet correspondent. Having modeled for brands like Victoria's Secret and rocking an iconic personal style, she even has one foot firmly in the door of the fashion industry. Clearly, Miller is one to watch.
She's made headlines for being the fashionista of "Summer House," and sticks to her unique fashion sense regardless of trend cycles. "I feel like I don't like to lock myself into a specific style. I love boho, and people hate me because people say that wedges are out and I'm like, I f***ing love wedges. I don't care what you say, bring wedges back," she told PAPER in an interview. In late 2025, Miller even took home the Best Dressed in a Costume Award at the Bravos at BravoCon. She collected the award wearing a crochet maxi dress and a silver thong.
Turning up to an awards show wearing a metallic g-string isn't the only iconic look Miller has donned on red carpets. The TV star has made some controversial fashion moves, and both her best and worst looks certainly made an impression.
Ciara looked like a Greek statue at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2024
Ciara Miller appeared at a 2024 Victoria's Secret fashion show wearing an iconic metallic set. The corset, designed by J. Phoenix London, mimicked a woman's torso, cinching the reality star in at her waist. She paired it with a slinky sheer sarong, drawing attention to her endless legs. Speaking about the look, Miller told PS, "I was in love with the way [J. Phoenix London] contours her corsets to mimic the real shape of a woman's body. So, I felt like it was very appropriate for this event."
Ciara wore a controversial padded look to the Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2025
Ciara Miller's outfit at Victoria's Secret 2025 catwalk was less impressive. She arrived wearing a white two-piece, featuring a padded neck and waistline, giving an almost inflatable effect. Not only are microtops an outdated fashion trend to ditch in 2026, but on Instagram, Miller's fans were quick to compare the neckline to a travel pillow. "How do you make a neck pillow look chic?!" someone questioned. Another compared the top to a pair of salon goggles.
A free the nipple moment will always be iconic
At New York Fashion Week in 2026, Miller arrived at LaQuan Smith's show wearing a completely sheer outfit. Leaving almost nothing to the imagination, her "free the nipple" moment was completely iconic. Stripes are also trending in 2026, so for a fashion icon like Miller, it's only fitting that her dress was completely covered in them. In the past, she's discussed how she and her makeup artist only practice looks when she's wearing a statement dress that she doesn't want to take away from, and this was clearly one such occasion.
Red and green should never be seen, even in 2026
Ciara Miller attended the Tory Burch New York Fashion Week show in 2026, wearing a lime green collared shirt layered under a dark green, button-up cardigan with shoulderpads. The colorful look was topped with a white handbag and a pair of white pointed heels, and featured a wraparound red midi skirt. Unfortunately, red and green are known for being a complete color clash. There is even a Reddit thread titled, "Red and Green is the worst color combination ever," and not to mention the famous phrase: "Red and green should never be seen."
Ciara proved the '90s really are her era in this silk number
Ciara Miller wore a white silk gown to the 2025 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, which emphasized her hourglass frame. Her sharp bob juxtaposed the flowiness of the dress, which fell loosely to the floor. In an interview with PAPER, Miller said that she gets most of her fashion inspiration from the '90s. "That is truly my era through and through," she said, and the dress was a clear nod to her passion for '90s style, when minimalism was trending.
Ciara was a little too early to the bandage dress trend in 2025
Bandage dresses were huge in the mid-2000s, and have slowly made their way back in 2026. Unfortunately, Miller was a little early when she arrived at the "Sinners" premiere wearing one in 2025. While the millennial party dress may have made a comeback, fashionistas aren't wearing them to evening events. According to Hervé Léger creative director Michelle Ochs, who spoke to InStyle, bandage dresses are being modernized into daywear. "[We're] expanding beyond the iconic mini into midi dresses, sculpted separates, and even daywear," she said.
It was strange when this self-confessed sequin-hater donned sparkles on the red carpet
Ciara Miller is well and truly in her red carpet correspondent era, and it shows. But while her career is popping off, the same couldn't be said for the silver dress she donned to host the Live Más event in 2026. Miller is a self-proclaimed sequin-hater, so — even though she looked great — it's strange that she chose to wear this sequin-clad number to the red carpet. "I also hate sequins as well. I'm not a sequins girl," she confirmed in an interview with PAPER.
Velvet looks less historical and more glamorous on Ciara
At the 19th annual Women in Film Oscars Celebration, Ciara Miller posed on the carpet wearing a black halter dress. The thick velvet sheen emphasized the television star's shining locks, and she proved that less is more by limiting her accessories and opting for a more natural makeup look. According to Vogue, in 2026, designers are drawing inspiration from the Jazz Age, with velvet predominantly being used to give everyday looks a luxurious feel. Velvet dominated runways throughout the fashion season in 2026, transforming from a historical fabric into a glamorous textile.
Ciara helped bring back snakeskin in 2026
Ciara Miller's outfit at the Clarins' Galentine's event in 2026 was incredible. She's worn sheer looks before, and her beachy gown didn't disappoint. Underneath the dress, Miller donned a black bralette and a nude g-string, allowing her statement ruby necklace to speak for itself. Her beachy waves tied into the seaside-esque look, and her snakeskin heels were impossible to ignore. We don't always love a busy print, but we love chic snakeskin's trending takeover. Like many trends that dominated the mid-2000s, snakeskin is back in 2026, and Miller's peep-toe heels proved it.
