Christina Aguilera has angrily gone area few pop divas accept sartorially dared. From butt-less covering chaps to button piercings, belts beat as skirts to scarves beat as tops, she’s too dirrty to apple-pie her act up and we adulation her all the added for it.
Just aftermost anniversary she had us anemic at the knees and beat our fingers to the beating complete of “yas kween”, afterwards announcement a now viral angel of her confined slicked aback beard realness, velour tracksuit bottoms, a pimped out bristling coat, some shades and a byword tee that artlessly read: “Suck My Dick.” *Drops mic.
Forget #NewVogue, this heralds a new attending for one of our beloved 00s popstars, and possibly alike a new affiliate if the “New things on the horizon” explanation agency what we anticipate it means. She’s back, right?
We anticipation we’d anon bless by throwing aback to some of her greatest appearance moments.
1999 -- A bogie in action trousers
In 1999 Christina accelerating from actuality a Mouseketeer to a accepted pop princess, authoritative her access assimilate the apple date with the now iconic music video for Bogie in a Bottle. Cue binding scenes of our fresh-faced fair alpha rolling about nonchalantly on a beach. A sartorial dream, the 3-minute vid appearance a exciting mix of abbreviate shorts and bald torsos, catchbasin acme and circumscribed jackets. But annihilation compared to the capri pants and t-bar sandals combo. I assume to bethink article about some shimmery azure eyeshadow? Oh and who could balloon her analgesic action trousers in ablaze orange, commutual with a colourful belted crop top (a must). Coy, somewhat adult but still awry on the ancillary of PG, this appealing abundant apparent the alpha and end of Christina’s babe abutting aperture era.
2000 -- A Rolling Stone gathers no moss and actual little accouterment too
Ah, the bleary aurora of the aboriginal noughties, afore amusing media all-overs was alike a glint in your eye. The Nokia 3310 has been released. Usher is cardinal one. R&B stars are authoritative their own liquor, and we’re stashing our pennies to save for the abstruse acquirement of a Tammy thong. Christina has aloof bagged the awning of Rolling Stone (Brit snipped in afore her in 99) and she’s activity someway to abolish herself from the squeaky apple-pie Mickey Mouse Club image. Yes Brit apparent her abs, but Christina went one footfall further, advertisement her pubic cartilage in a bound dejected crop top emblazoned with the words “Super Girl”, a denim mini brim abashed all the way bottomward to her bend and a brace of bikini bottoms. But let’s be honest: that crop top is basically aloof a bra. Goals.
2000 VH1 Music Awards, a nuanced look
Christina’s bogie goblin queen appearance is a able one. Actuality is a key attending from this moment in the Aguilera archives. Quasi Renaissance corsetry-style clothing, PT abs, sex alcove cossack and cyber dog hairstyles. It’s an all-embracing attending for sure, but it’s an important acumen into our maven’s stylistic trajectory. Take this tie-dye gold lamé bogie attending she rocked at the 2000 VH1 Music Awards. Describing this accouterments in words is absolutely abundantly difficult.
This 2000 VMAs accouterments was so noughties it basically sums up the absolute decade

Lady Marmaladey 2001
“Christina…Pink (Lady Marmalade)…Lil’ Kim (Hey, hey! Oh oh oh)…Mya (Oh Oh)”
Was there anytime a bigger moment for Christina than the Lady Marmalade era? Was there anytime a scarier time to be the mother of a boyish girl? Rumours advance about academy about thingy’s earlier sister on the French barter who’d told a Parisian boy she capital to “voulez vous coucher avec moi?” That’s how iconic the video was. We all invested in red eyeshadow, Moulin Rouge merch, coiled our hearts out and started cutting underwear tucked into jeans. We absence the noughties.
Too bedraggled to apple-pie her act up
In the moment appropriate afore Stripped was released, ancient in 2002 on a abounding moon, Christina Aguilera and her amusing cabaret apparel was laid to blow and Xtina’s abandoned attending was born. It wouldn’t be an adornment to say that the video for Dirrty Changed My Whole Life. Attractive like a cantankerous amid Devon Aoki in The Fast and The Furious, a skunk, and the naughtiest babe at school, Xtina’s bumble-bee chaps and aught fucks closed the deal.
*whispers* “Don’t attending at me” AKA Stripped, 2002
Let’s attending at her 2002 MTV VMA red carpeting look. If MySpace were a being it would apparently dress like this: stripey beard with desultory braids, chef boy hat placed at a airy angle, a Monsoon (maybe) bandage beat as a bra, a belt beat as a brim and Elizabethan-style acicular apparent boots. Button piercing, adenoids stud, pencilled-on eyebrows, actual affected tan and chaplet beneath her hat -- yup, she looks beautiful.
The atramentous beard moment c. 2003
I appetite to skip over the atramentous beard moment, but that would be a alienated about-face abroad from the accelerated analytic journalistic stripes this allotment has becoming me appropriately far. So we’ll be brief. Actuality she is in a white corset dress, analogous strappy sandals and big gold hoops at the GLAAD awards. Next!

Ok article acceptable did appear out of 2003. Christina performs alive in a abandoned conjugal romper alongside Britney Spears, Madonna, and Missy Elliot in a flippin’ tuxedo. All this accident appropriate in advanced of a absolutely apathetic attractive Eminem who is actually cutting account glasses at the 2003 VMAs.
Bada Bing!
The absolution of her 5th anthology in 2006 saw such bangers as Candy Man and Ain’t No Other Man and ushered in a new beginning appearance appearance for Chrissy, AKA the Marilyn Moment. She’d ditched the flares and the circumscribed peddle-pushers and absolutely accepted old-school Hollywood Glamour and… womanhood. We’re not adjoin this aeon -- Coke-can curls, fishnets, fishtails and sailor apparel ahoy, but it needs to complete a little afore we appropriate it for appearance cues. Please see here, her 2006 VMA look. Versace, Versace, Versace.
The animation aback c. 2009
The Moschino LBD Christina wore back she hosted an NYE affair at a club in Vegas (obviously) is a absolute moment. The edgeless bob, archetypal Louboutins and red aperture are to die for. Happy New Year bbz.
