Ciara is used to hearing applause, but photographers booed her for being 40 minutes late to the Givenchy show during Paris' Couture Fashion Week on January 26.

The singer made a quick recovery after a quick-change from her leather mini skirt into Givenchy's Fall 2009 silver harem pants (Why platinum adult diapers? we have no clue) to make amends to the designer at the show's after-party.

Thank goodness designer Riccardo Tisci is such a gracious host and the singer did not end up with one of the black eyes his models sported on the runway earlier that day.
