The 1, 2 Step singer, who is currently the face of rap mogul Jay-Z's Rocawear clothing line, is now a client of modelling agency Wilhelmina. Her new agents will focus on winning Ciara more contracts in the clothing and fragrance industries.
And Ciara - who is rumoured to be dating 50 Cent - is ecstatic about the new career path.
She says, "Modelling has always been one of my aspirations. But I was insecure about my height. I thought I was 5 foot 7 inches but I just found out that I'm 5 foot 8 inches so I'm really excited about that."
The star has also unveiled plans to launch her own fashion line with budget department store Steve and Barry's, following in the footsteps of actress Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten range.
She adds, "I have a couple of cool things that I'm working on. The coolest thing about Steve and Barry's is they cater to everyday people. I won't say that my line will be like theirs, I want to stay true to who I am, but most importantly it has to be affordable."
