Xtina aka Christina Aguilera has had a pretty major summer. From kicking off the season with a skin-tight latex look to wearing matching ponytails with Paris Hilton, and even donning a diamond-encrusted dildo (yep, you read that right) to perform at LA Pride, we've been obsessed with the looks she's been pulling. Heck, she even gave Medusa a run for her money with a plunging velvet gown with snake accents at this year's AmfAR Gala.
Her style credentials are even more impressive when we consider her decades-long status as a fashion icon, inspiring others with her most adventurous looks. Her two-tone noughties hair look of blonde with dark roots, streaked with black highlights, seems to have inspired everyone from Millie Court to Kim Kardashian. Her iconic Stripped-era assless chaps (trousers with bum cutouts, in simple terms) has been replicated by the likes of Lizzo.
Yep, Christina has provided some of the biggest looks for the Y2K throwback trend and her most recent Instagram post is a much-needed reminder of that fact. Posting a video on the grid to her 8.4 million followers, the 41-year-old mother of two compiled a collection of some of her most daring looks from the 2000s.
With the caption "I’m just an OG #teenagedirtbag baby 🖤" Xtina unleashed a sample of some seriously jaw-dropping fits. With her signature black and white, lengthy locks on display the throwback footage included pics of Christina in black, skin-tight leather trousers, jewel-encrusted bikini tops, red hot pants and even a hot pink lingerie set with suspenders. Très risqué and we're loving it!
In case you needed a reminder: Christina's trailblazing fashion made her an early sex positivity advocate, owning her sexuality and sex appeal in an era where female expression was heavily policed by the tabloids. Despite all the naysayers she let her freak flag fly and made her mark on pop culture (and fashion!) history.
Let's pour one out for this icon!
