She’s an icon, a diva, and an undeniable force of pop-hit nature.
Back in her early days, she wore some outfits that would be sure to make your grandma blush.
Regardless, the songstress always rocked her looks with the utmost confidence.
Aguilera has plenty of sass, which is what makes these jaw-dropping looks as memorable as they are.
Let’s take a walk down memory lane.
Of course, the entire look was capped off with a generous fake tan.
Pattern-clashing dream
Everyone who knows anything about music knows that going tothe Grammys is a big deal.
Her dark tresses were paired with razor-thin eyebrows, while her makeup was all about the color purple.
This look had it all, from shredded velvet to a perm that one might describe as poodle-like.
The hitmaker looked like a 2000s Greek goddess with a disco twist and strangely, it worked.
This wasn’t a one-off event, but something that sparked a slew of chap-based looks.
… [They are] “somewhere in the vault.”
Another famous face, Kylie Jenner, also recreated the look in recent years.
It just goes to show that these looks continue to reign supreme.
The internet never forgets, and neither do we!
The musical drama featured Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman as star-crossed lovers and was a big hit.
What’s more, it had an incredible soundtrack featuring a cover of “Lady Marmalade.”
1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
They stayed true to this aesthetic when they performed it at the 44th Grammys.
The group bagged an award that night for best pop collaboration with vocals, much to their delight.
Red leather forever
The year 2000 was notable for many reasons.
Her poker-straight tresses had very on-trend red lowlights, which inspired many DIY dye jobs in months to come.
All that glitters is gold
Is all that glitters really gold?
According to this look, the answer is yes.
Aguilera wore this dress with an extreme cutout to the 2000 VMAs.
The skirt consisted of a thigh-high split and a thong string, which has recently come back into fashion.
Aguilera loved to flash her abs during this period and often made them a centerpiece of her looks.
Who can blame her?
Oh, and I loved a bandana.
I still wear them sometimes I’m really into these latex ones.
I love cargo pants.
It’s always fun to see things come back and live in a new era."
This was where we stopped apologizing for anything.
It was an explosion of everything being at the right place at the right time.
According to her, “I got to just live my best life in this creative world.”
Everybody make a scene
Believe it or not, this wasn’t another Halloween ensemble.
This is just what Christina Aguilera wore on stage at the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Red stilettos were the finishing touch after all, a pop of color is important!
Aguilera really let her fashion freak flag fly that evening, making it one particularly memorable awards show.
She matched these with a pair of beige chinos and a pink hat.
The strange ensemble was only emphasized by Aguilera’s crimped black hair and OTT eyeshadow.
And of course, no 2000s performance would be complete without shirtless men to go with it!
Back in 2005, Aguilera was head over heels in love for her soon-to-be husband, Jordan Bratman.
The couple stayed together for five years, welcoming a son together before ultimately divorcing.
