Ciara's recent weight loss was suiting her well on Wednesday when she was spotted out in New York City.

The 29-year-old singer stayed with a casual look that managed to show off her figure while being practical enough to suit the mother of one-year-old son Future Zahir Wilburn.

Those sensible clothing choices were important when Ciara had to keep hold of her energetic toddler while leaving their midtown-Manhattan hotel.

A wide smile on her only minimally made-up face, Ciara held Future in her arms at times and let the little boy walk - his hand firmly in hers - at others.

Her long and black hair was tamed only by a black knit hat, and Ciara wore a black leather jacket over a tight-fitting top of the same colour.

For trousers, Ciara opted for a pair of distressed blue jeans with rolled ankles reaching to just above a pair of grey Nike trainers.

Future - Ciara's son with her ex-fiance, the rapper Future - wore a white, collared shirt with blue jeans and trainers.

Ciara and Future had apparently been joined on the trip to the Big Apple by Tyson, one of the Grammy winner's dogs, who was trying to shove a nose out of a designer carrier.

The night before, Ciara had performed as part of the From Blitz To Hits 5th Anniversary Celebration at NYC's Stage 48.

Her impressive, 60-pound weight loss was even more visible then, when Ciara appeared in a fringed bustier and skin-tight trousers.

In the September issue of Shape, Ciara spilled on how she got her stunning figure back after giving birth to Future in May 2014. 

'When I was pregnant with Future, one thing I learned quickly was, don't ever let a pregnant lady be hungry, because when I was, I was like the Tasmanian Devil!'

'Once I got back into it, I worked out two or three times daily,' the star gushed of her drastic weight loss by the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson, who also helped Khloe Kardashian attain her enviable physique.

She added: 'Five days a week, he puts me through an hour-long plyometric cardio circuit that always includes boxing elements.'

The Body Party singer commented how this type of workout helped improve her confidence: 'You have to be super focused when you're boxing. After I've done a few rounds, I feel as if I can conquer the world.'

Despite her rigid nutrition plan and sweaty gym sessions, Ciara dished that she does indulge in a few off days.

She shared: 'When I'm on a strict eating regimen, at some point I have to have French fries, a cheeseburger and some pizza. And Oreos and vanilla ice cream!'

The Goodies hit-maker also has a trick for controlling cravings: Ciara tells herself: 'The food isn't going anywhere.'
