Fans Rave Over Christina Aguilera's Sultry New Bodysuits And Las Vegas Residency Ensembles Following Her Recent Weight Loss
Aguilera captioned her recent upload for her 9.6 million followers: "Backstage. See you this weekend!" Fans headed to the comments. "Slimtina," one wrote as another added: "You look stunning as always." Someone else chimed in, noting: "The most gorgeous and talented woman." Others conveyed their (and our) thoughts on her outfits with red hearts, fire and heart-eyes emojis.
The "Genie in a Bottle" hitmaker's summer Las Vegas performances commenced on May 31st and are set to captivate audiences for six dates, concluding on August 3rd. For the last few months, Aguilera has been teasing fans with hints of her residency while also showcasing her fit physique in skimpy and eye-catching outfits.
While Aguilera's glowing physique has been lauded by her large fan base, others have raised concerns that she may have used Ozempic or other weight loss drugs to achieve her rapid weight loss.
According to an insider who spoke with Life & Style, Aguilera was able to shed 40 pounds by implementing a blend of limiting calorie intake and engaging in physical activity.
The source also said that Aguilera is limiting herself to a daily intake of just 1,600 calories and engaging in "rigorous" workouts every single day of the week. "Christina didn’t feel as energetic with extra weight," the tipster told the outlet, adding: "Some are concerned she’ll gain the weight back but she loves all the attention she’s getting."
Aguilera’s body image, as many fans pointed out, has "unfairly" been a constant topic of discussion throughout her career. Despite facing criticism for her weight fluctuations, she has remained transparent about her evolving physical appearance.
In her early years, Aguilera rapidly gained prominence in the music industry, signing a recording contract with RCA and releasing her debut album under her own name before reaching the age of 20.
Having displayed remarkable talent and unyielding dedication, the "Dirrty" crooner was ultimately rewarded with the highly-coveted Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Yet, despite this rapid ascent to stardom, the esteemed vocalist was plagued by feelings of self-consciousness.
In a 2021 interview with Health, Aguilera offered poignant insights into the challenges she faced during the early stages of her career, particularly in relation to her struggles with body image.
"I think we all have our good days and our bad days in how we feel about ourselves," the mom of two told the publication, after previously noting that she felt "criticized for being on both sides of the scale."
She went on, opening up to the outlet: "Entering this business, I hated being super skinny. Once I turned 21, I started filling out a little bit, and I was loving my new curves. I appreciated having a booty."
