Christina Aguilera, 45, surprised her fans on Wednesday with a daring nude photograph posted to her Instagram account. The image, taken in a dimly lit bathtub, showed the singer covering her nipples with ghost emojis in anticipation of Halloween. Aguilera captioned the post, "last looks before xtinaween," accompanied by several Halloween-themed emojis.
The provocative image elicited enthusiastic responses from her followers. One fan commented, "that wasn’t an earthquake it was just me falling to my knees," while another declared, "She’s the moment she’s an icon she’s a star." A third user remarked, "Xtina is ON FIRE."
This latest post follows Aguilera's recent public appearances and discussions about her physical transformation. Earlier in the month, she drew attention at the second annual party on National PrEP Day, where she wore a revealing black outfit with thigh-high boots, a sheer top over a lacy bra, and leather micro shorts. In May, Aguilera attended The Abbey 35th Anniversary Party in West Hollywood, appearing notably thinner, which has fueled speculation about her 50lb weight loss and potential use of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
Aguilera has previously addressed the media's intense focus on her body. In an interview with Glamour, she commented on the differing perceptions of her weight throughout her career, from her teenage years to her 20s and beyond. She stated that she now possesses a maturity that allows her to disregard external opinions, emphasizing, "I have a maturity now where I just don't give a f*** about your opinion. I'm not going to take it on." She also added that individuals are responsible for defining themselves, and "Other people's opinions of me are not my business."
Late last year, Aguilera also shared with her fans that "no one deserves an explanation" regarding comments about her body. She posted, "This year, doing something a little different. This is a reminder to everyone that you are your OWN STORYTELLER in your OWN LIFE. No one else can dictate who you are. No one deserves an explanation. I am evolved enough to know that nothing comes easy and no one is perfect. Everyone will judge you. No matter WHAT you do. And/ or what you don't do..."
Some cosmetic medical professionals have speculated that Aguilera's recent appearance may be the result of a combination of weight-loss treatments and facial procedures. Dr. Jonny Betteridge, an aesthetics doctor based in London, suggested that Aguilera might have undergone a facelift, eyelid surgery, and extensive dental work. He also commented on the rapid weight loss, suggesting it could be attributed to Ozempic use, and a potential reduction of facial fillers prior to surgical interventions. A viral TikTok video by a former emergency medicine doctor highlighted the perceived difference in Aguilera's appearance, contrasting her current look with a "pillow face" from 2022, which they attributed to excessive dermal filler at that time.
