Ciara just took Nicki Minaj’s “High School” challenge to a whole new level of daring and glamour! The superstar singer shocked fans by joining in on the viral pose, striking the iconic posture while perched precariously on a stack of dumbbells, while rocking a pair of legendary black Christian Louboutin heels!
TikTok has turned a decade-old Nicki Minaj pose into the latest “can you even do this?” challenge. And of course, Ciara elevated it.
In what may be one of the most iconic and bone-defying entries in the ongoing “High School” challenge, the Grammy-winning superstar and dancing queen pulled off Nicki Minaj’s 2013 pose like it was light work while perched on dumbbells… in stilettos.
It all started when a clip from Nicki Minaj’s High School music video resurfaced online. The scene: Nicki crouched in sky-high heels, one leg crossed over the other, radiating bad b*tch energy with every breath. The now-viral moment sparked a new wave of TikTok users attempting to recreate the pose. But while most of us can barely hold that squat in sneakers, Ciara decided to level up.
In her look, CiCi rocks an all-black ensemble: sleek leggings, a fitted tee, and a black baseball cap representing Atlanta. Her long, honey-blonde hair flows from under the hat, and oversized shades give her that signature mystery. But it’s not the look that has folks talking; it’s the setup.
She’s perched in a full crouch on top of stacked dumbbells. Wearing black Christian Louboutin stilettos with the red bottoms on full display, Ciara balances one foot while crossing the other over her knee like she’s sipping tea on a rooftop, not defying gravity in the middle of a field. And to top it off, she’s holding a bottle of Tito’s Handmade Vodka as if it were her prize for winning the challenge.
Here’s how fans reacted:
“You can’t tell me that’s not a statue. Core made of steel. Damn.”
“Child!! I couldn’t do that with someone else’s knees! G.O.A.T.”
“The way my knee just broke looking at this lol.”
“She bout to have ppl out here breaking ankles trying to emulate this.”
The “High School” challenge has inspired dozens of influencers and celebrities to show off their strength and sass, but Ciara may have just shut the whole thing down without even moving.
