“Our 2019 ACE Award honoree lineup is an extraordinary mix of retailers, brands and individuals who exemplify excellence in the industry and continuously find new ways to grow a business, and we can't wait to celebrate their accomplishments in June,” Accessories Council president Karen Giberson told WWD in a statement.

The award marks the latest in a string of career milestones for Ciara, who recently performed her latest single Thinkin bout You at the Billboard Awards and is reportedly preparing to drop a new album, Beauty Marks, later this month.

The star, who is known for her glamorous dress sense, was previously a brand ambassador for the jewelry giant Pandora, and also landed a starring role in Roberto Cavalli's Fall/Winter 2015 fashion campaign.
