Christina Aguilera has surprised her fans with her new appearance as they say she is aging backwards. The pop star, 44, showed off her new style as she took part in a photoshoot.
As she rocked a dark smokey eye while wearing a gold mini dress, she appeared to be referencing her early career. As Christina held her blonde locks in her hands, they were backcombbed and tousled. The Lady Marmalade hitmaker shared a behind-the-scenes look that included a variety of her styling. As she teased viewers about the upcoming photos, she captioned the post, “work & play, play.”
Many of her fans quickly criticized the star, who appeared to have never aged. One person said, “Oh, she’s a MODEL, she looks like Christina Aguilera from 1999.”
Another questioned, “WHY IS SHE BENJAMIN ButtonING? ” This shoot is SO GORGEOUS, and I’ve always been such a huge Christina fan. It’s been wonderful to see her look so happy, healthy, and entertaining lately.
Queen appears to be looking fresh. Queen “was written by a fourth writer,” she lived. Another gushed, “Flawless, Ageless, and Eternal Queen.”
Christina has always been open about her public body image. Through a combination of diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes, she lost 40 pounds (18 kg) during the pandemic.
However, the singer of “Genie in a Bottle” revealed that she hasn’t always been as body confident as she is now. The five-time Grammy winner made an interview with her in 2021 about how pressured she was by her appearance in the 1990s.
She told Health Magazine, “I have a hard time looking at the early pictures of myself because I remember feeling so insecure.
Christina heartbreakingly admitted that throughout her twenties, she had a real body image problem. You’re so in your own head and finding your confidence, she said, and I’d never want to go back to my 20s.
Last year, Christina had unwanted attention as she was accused of using weight loss drugs. She was at workout studio Barry’s Bootcamp in West Hollywood to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her self-titled debut album.
The mother-of-two rocked a black bodysuit with thigh-high boots for the event, and her appearance was filmed and shared on social media, prompting an outpouring of messages from her fans.
Christina then released a statement in which she claimed that the focus on “being skinny” had nothing to do with her recent weight loss. She claimed that because of her petite frame, which she had when she first sped up in the music industry 25 years ago, she had lost her mind.
You have a very different body when you’re a teenager than you do when you’re in your 20s. I started to fill out, but the result was unacceptable because it was like, “Oh, she’s getting thicker.”
Then, Christina shared, “They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.”

Eubank Sr, 58, had allegedly argued the pair had been separated for years, and Eubank Sr had expressed his disapproval of the match-up.
Before surprising the crowd at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when he emerged from Chris Eubank Jr’s car, he was not scheduled to play on Saturday.
Eubank Sr was emotional as he recalled the heartfelt moment, which he claims “moved the nation and the world” on his YouTube channel on Wednesday.
Eubank Sr claims he put on a “disguise” to meet with his son in a hotel but did not communicate with him until the day before the fight.
Eubank Sr said, “I’m welling up now.”
“A lifetime’s worth.” The car appears to have been planned by a director, with me on the left-hand side of the car as the car pulled up.
The world’s media is what I mean when I push the door open and put my foot down. I chuckled a little.
Eubank Jr. was taken to the hospital following his heart-wrenching victory, which is typical for boxers after a grueling fight.
Eubank Jr was forced to make a difficult weight cut to the agreed middleweight weight limit, but he was still fined £375, 000 for missing his target by only 0.05lb the day before the fight.
The 35-year-old was also prohibited from adding more than 10 pounds the morning of the fight by a rehydration clause.
Eubank Sr. claims that riding his son in the ambulance with him in 1991, when he suffered brain damage, brought back memories of his tragic fight with Michael Watson.
He said, “My son junior is very proud, and his face appeared to be a football that had nearly twice the size.”
He won’t let you see that, but it reminded me of what Michael went through and how that affected me.
The only way to determine whether my son is okay is with the CT scan, the doctor said, “People don’t know, but he was touch-and-go.”
“He suffered primarily in the hospital as a result of dehydration, despite the severe beating he received. He was in such discomfort for 24 to 30 hours because of this.
Do you know how many times I drank? How many times did I tremble? At the age of 35, he is weighing 160 pounds, semi-conscious, and battered, similar to Conor, his rival, who entered the hospital about two in the morning.
“When I looked at him, I actually broke down, and he was lying on the bed, his legs were bent inward, and I couldn’t tell if he was awake.” As I got closer, I said, “Are you okay? ” And he responded, “yes, I’m OK, I’m OK.”
I never imagined that my son would give such a performance in a fight that was extraordinary. He stayed in the pocket, where you can stand toe to toe, from rounds six through twelve.
It will be echoed throughout eternity by Conor Benn and that boy of mine.
In a high-speed Champions League semifinal first leg encounter, Barcelona and Inter Milan came away with a convincing 3-3 draw.
Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries both had excellent strikes on Wednesday, but Barca couldn’t be stopped by Lamine Yamal, who had a sublime solo effort to bring the Italian team back into the game.
A Yann Sommer own goal put the tie at the halfway point before Ferran Torres levelled for the five-time champions, who had already beaten Inter by a blazing lead.
Thuram’s injury to his thigh set Inter on a verge of recovery, and he did just that with the fastest-ever Champions League semifinal goal in 30 seconds.
Jules Kounde, the Copa del Rey winner of the title, hacked a poor clearance to the edge of the box to make a profit for Barcelona.
Inigo Martinez slipped just in time as Dutch wideman Dumfries attempted to finish with a pass-the-middle-heel movie, which was flawless.
A nervous 50, 000-strong Olympic stadium crowd cheered on as Barcelona seized control and moved on.
Yamal, who was making his 100th appearance for Barcelona, requested a penalty after being shoved by Alessandro Bastoni, set up Torres, who fired wide.
The Spaniard volleyed just inches off target in place of Barca’s sluggish top goalscorer Robert Lewandowski.
Inter, whose triple hopes fell apart after three straight domestic defeats, came away with a second and a fine finish.
Dumfries reached the dropping ball first with a stunning acrobatic effort after Francesco Acerbi nodded on a corner.
Barcelona’s recent defensive struggles may have been minor, but Hansi Flick’s young side are unaffected by the string of European roadblocks that have occurred since they last won the competition in 2015.
The least-talented wizard was Yamal, who put Barcelona back in the game just three minutes later with a fantastic individual goal that made him the youngest semi-final scorer ever.
The Spaniard rejected comparisons to legendary Barca player Lionel Messi on the eve of the game, but his goal was straight out of the Argentinian’s script.
Before they could stop him, Yamal stroked an inch-perfect shot into off the left post after catching him off the right post and floated inside from the right flank.
Yamal nearly repeated the same mistake just a few seconds later. He evaded the pitch again this time, pausing for Federico Dimarco to lunge past him.
The youngster fired a shot that Sommer tipped onto the crossbar from a tight angle.
Yamal, who was high on confidence, gave Torres and Dani Olmo more chances that went begging before Barca equaled.
After 38 breathless minutes, Raphinha scored from close range after Pedri hooked a ball into the area and fired it into the goal.
Barca, who had previously replaced Gerard Martin with Ronald Araujo at half-time, were hit by Kounde’s limp before half-time.
After enduring a rough night up against the relentless Yamal, Dimarco hammered over in the opening half before Simone Inzaghi hooked him.
Early in the second half, Inter sucker-punched Barca, scoring from a corner with Dumfries’ header bouncing in off Olmo.
Yamal stepped over a corner on the edge of the box to give Raphinha the lead in less than two minutes to equalize.
The Brazilian’s rasping strike hit the crossbar before coming in off the unfortunate diving Sommer’s head.
After entering behind Barcelona’s high line, Pau Cubarsi made a crucial recovery tackle to stop Thuram, and Mkhitaryan had a goal that was ruled out due to a very tight offside.
Late in the second strike, Yamal slammed the crossbar, but neither team could get off the hook.
The winner of the Munich final will face Paris Saint-Germain or Arsenal on May 31 in the second leg, which will take place in Milan on Tuesday.

According to Ricardo Darin, an actor from Argentina, “The Eternaut” is a story that is as old as time and has a special resonance today.
The sci-fi series, which is based on a 1950s comic and is well-known in the South American nation, follows a mysterious, toxic snowfall that occurs before an alien invasion of Buenos Aires.
More significantly, Darin, 68, told AFP in an interview that it is about ordinary people who have few resources and no special powers who collectively “stink down a totalitarian threat.”
He said of the plotline, “The communities that managed to survive were those who stood shoulder to shoulder, defended themselves, and did not care about what happened to them individually.”
Darin said the series “resonates” with the present in this way, even though he declined to specify which threat in particular.
The Eternaut, a film based on the same comic by the name , was written and written by Bruno Stagnaro in Argentina between 1957 and 1959.
Oesterheld began watching the series again in the 1960s, with more political themes thought to be at the center of his 1977 abduction amidst Argentina’s brutal military rule.
According to rights groups, he was never heard from again, and neither did his four daughters and three sons-in-law, who all appeared in the estimated 30 000 people who had been abducted by dictatorship agents.
Juan Salvo, the resistance hero in “The Eternaut,” was a first-person play for Darin, who is well known for his roles in the movies “Nine Queens,” “Wild Tales,” and “The Secret in Their Eyes,” which won the Oscar for best international feature in 2010; at the time, he said he was nervous.
He had to perform grueling stunts despite having no science fiction background.
The actor described the process as being “incredibly, very difficult.”
“We were exhausted and had little time to recover,” we said at the end of each day of filming.
113 of the 148 days of filming saw Darin take part in, often dressed up in Salvo’s heavy snow-proof outfit and putting on sets covered in tons of cumbersome artificial snow.
“Not to mention the things that happen in an action shoot, where you have to roll, jump, fall, crash, fight, and do a lot of things that, when you’re 25 or 30 years old, it’s nothing, but for me, who is 114,” he said.
At a time when the government of budget-slashing President Javier Milei has withdrawn state support for the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts and culture in general, Darin believes the series will be a boost for Argentine cinema.
