The pop icon radiated confidence in the fashion brand’s Pre-Fall 2025 sequined trompe-l’oeil skirt paired with a crisp, tailored blouse — a look styled by renowned fashion stylist Chris Horan.

Aguilera accessorized with sleek black sunglasses, exuding effortless glamour and sophistication. Her platinum blonde hair was elegantly styled, complementing the outfit’s modern and edgy vibe.

Alongside the post, the fashion house captioned, “CHRISTINA AGUILERA The iconic @xtina attended the @joyawards red carpet in Riyadh.”

“Looking good she loss [sic] a lot of weight,” observed a fan, while another swooned over how fit Aguilera appeared. Jumping on the praise bandwagon, a fellow admirer complimented, “She’s so slim and looks amazing 🔥.”

Others made neutral remarks about Aguilera’s appearance, with a netizen opining, “She look like she is in her 20- [sic].” Someone else echoed a similar sentiment, “She’s aging backwards [sic],” while another commenter marveled, “Didn’t even recognize her!😮.”

On the other hand, some users voiced dissatisfaction with Aguilera’s style and overall appearance. “Looks so… soulless. And the sunglasses just make it worse,” remarked one critic.

Another commented, “Her style really hasn’t changed in the last 20+ years. Please get rid of the overly bleached hair, circa 2008 clothing and [sic] too-heavy makeup.”

Another pointed critique came from someone who questioned, “Is that a skirt printed to look like a different skirt? Also, I would never have guessed that’s Christina Aguilera in a million years.”

Regardless of the divided social media opinions, Aguilera’s presence at the event added to the star-studded vibe of the prestigious affair.

Known as a celebration of joy and entertainment, the Joy Awards shines a spotlight on an array of influential figures, including music stars, cinema icons, accomplished athletes, and other individuals who are making a meaningful and positive impact on people’s lives.

The pair’s love story traces back to the set of “Burlesque” in November 2009, where Aguilera and Rutler first crossed paths. In October of the following year (2010), Aguilera filed for divorce from her first husband, Jordan Bratman.

“Matthew is a special person. We had a really strong friendship on [sic] the movie. He’s the kind of person you could spend hours on the phone talking to, and all of a sudden it’s daylight,” divulged Aguilera.

Despite their instant bond, Aguilera shared that she approached the relationship with caution, mindful of her recent separation. “I’m not trying to jump into anything. I just left a five-year marriage. I’m taking it slow and trying to be happy,” explained the artist at the time.

She took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the joyous news by posting a heartwarming photo of their hands intertwined, showing off her stunning engagement ring against a beach background.

Although they got engaged several years ago, the couple has felt no urgency to walk down the aisle. In 2015, Aguilera opened up to People about their decision to pace themselves.

“Having just moved into a beautiful new home we call ‘the Sanctuary,’ having a baby, and now being so excited to get back to work [on ‘The Voice’], I have my hands full, and am not in a rush to set a date,” shared Christina Aguilera.

She also emphasized her desire to make the moment special and meaningful, adding, “I want to plan it and cherish the moment, while not feeling rushed.”
