Pop icon Christina Aguilera has celebrated her 45th birthday in glamorous style, sharing images from a festive party that have set social media alight with both admiration and renewed speculation about her age-defying appearance.
A Festive Birthday Celebration
The 'Dirrty' singer officially turned 45 on December 18 and marked the occasion with a holiday-themed celebration. She posted a carousel of images from the event, captioning it simply, 'feeling the birthday love.' The star opted for a striking ensemble: a curve-clinging white dress, fishnet stockings, glittering ruby red heels, and a polka dot beanie atop her blonde hair.
The birthday bash featured a candy cane-themed cake, an outdoor dinner beneath magical white lights at a balloon-adorned table, and plenty of Christmas decorations. Guests later lavished the singer with gifts indoors, completing the festive celebration.
Fans React to Her 'Incredible' Look
Now in her mid-40s, Aguilera's appearance has become a major talking point among fans. This was particularly evident following her recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where she performed her 2002 hit 'Dirrty' in a tight white mini dress and red thigh-high boots. Viewers were left stunned, with many taking to social media platform X to express their amazement.
Comments ranged from 'Does she age? Wow!' to 'Looking like 90s Christina' and 'She has never looked better OMG.' This performance, reminiscent of her 2001 'Lady Marmalade' video, has fuelled ongoing chatter about potential cosmetic procedures to achieve her transformation.
Weight Loss Sparks Ozempic Rumours
Beyond her facial appearance, Aguilera's notably trim figure has sparked separate rumours among fans. Many have questioned whether the star has used weight-loss drugs like Ozempic to achieve her impressive 50lb weight loss. Speculation first began in May of this year when she showcased significant weight loss.
One fan commented online, 'So Christina Aguilera found an Ozempic pen and now she just needs to find a pen to give us a classic hit.' However, others have defended the singer. 'Christina has always been thin, she was naturally thin as a teenager,' one supporter wrote. 'Her body fluctuated throughout the years... Ozempic or not. She looks amazing. Leave her alone.'
The debate intensified in October when she attended an event at Barry's Bootcamp in West Hollywood, wearing a skin-tight bodysuit. Instagram users flooded her comments with remarks about her weight, with some questioning if she ever visited a gym or solely relied on medication. A clip from the event even led some on X to speculate she looked 'sick.'
Aguilera's Response to Body Scrutiny
The singer has previously addressed the 'media's obsession' with her weight. In an August interview with Glamour, she reflected on the changing commentary throughout her career. 'When you're a teenager, you have a very different body than when you're in your 20s,' she said. 'I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable... Then I had industry people: 'They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.''
Aguilera, a mother-of-two, stated she now possesses a maturity where such opinions no longer affect her. '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 declared. 'It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people's opinions of me are not my business.'
As she celebrates this personal milestone, the conversation surrounding Christina Aguilera continues to focus as much on her physical transformation as on her enduring career, demonstrating the intense scrutiny female celebrities face in the public eye.
