Users immediately began commenting on the garment, which featured a mesh cut-out that revealed a good chunk of the 30-year-old’s breasts.

Dear Ciara. You’re stunning. But this is a National Championship Game. Kids are watching. Cover up.

When Ciara was singing National Anthem, Coop, our 3-yr-old daughter said, “I can see her bumps. That dress is inappropriate.”

But while there were a fair share of haters, the Grammy winner also had plenty of supporters:

@BonnieBernstein How dare she partially reveal her body when children are preparing to watch 21-year olds destroy each other for no money!

And of course, boyfriend Russell Wilson defended her honor:
