Christina Aguilera, 44, flashes her underwear beneath a daring black string dress as she leads stars at the Burlesque: The Musical world premiere in London
Christina Aguilera was a vision as she attended the world premiere of Burlesque: The Musical at The Savoy Theatre in London on Tuesday. The Genie In A Bottle hitmaker, 44, left little to the imagination as she showcased her underwear beneath a daring black string mini dress. She teamed the striking look with black stockings and elevated her slimmed-down frame with a pair of sleek black heels. The pop legend completed her head-turning ensemble with silver jewellery and a bold plum lipstick. Christina posed up a storm on the red carpet before joining producer Steve Antin. The pair appeared in high spirits as they smiled for photos, with Steve planting a sweet kiss on Christina's cheek. The Genie In A Bottle hitmaker, 44, left little to the imagination as she showcased her underwear beneath a daring black rope mini dress Also at the starry event was Michael Marouli, Georgina Castle, Stewart F. Lane, Bonnie Comley, Matt Goss, Jess Folley, and Nick Collier. Following a sold-out run in Manchester, Burlesque The Musical is now playing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited season until 6 September 2025. Christina swapped the spotlight for a seat in the stalls on Sunday 20 July, when she slipped into London's Savoy Theatre to watch a preview of Burlesque The Musical. The musical reimagines the 2010 screen hit that first turned her into an on-screen star. Christina previously displayed her thin appearance and sparked concern among fans who discussed rumours she might have undergone plastic surgery on her face to achieve her transformed appearance. Her frame has also sparked rumours among fans who wondered if she may have turned to Ozempic-like drugs to help her impressive weight loss. Despite the speculation among fans that she may have altered her appearance in some way, the Grammy-winning singer–songwriter has not addressed any of the rumours. She was previously rumoured to have had a breast augmentation after displaying a scar under her arm — which is a common place for the surgical incision — in 2010. Recently, Christina showed off her age-defying looks on the cover of the French magazine Carcy, which set rumours bubbling from fans who wondered if she had touched up her face. In October of last year, multiple plastic surgeons who had not treated the songstress spoke to about her seemingly transformed appearance, suggesting that she may have undergone a face lift to sculpt her cheekbones and smooth the natural lines between her nose and lips. Other cosmetic surgeons have shared similar opinions about her new appearance on social media. Although Christina has not directly responded to the claims, she recently said she no longer feels the need to 'give a f***' about the public scrutiny on her body. Following the speculation, she has since commented on the years-long 'obsession' over her weight in an interview with Glamour from August. '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 because it was like, "Oh, she's getting thicker." Then I had industry people: "They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager."' However, as she has grown older, she revealed that she does not let comments about her weight affect her anymore. '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 stated.

Oleksandr Usyk is one of boxing's greats – but he'll never be able to enjoy success due to horrors of Ukraine war
OLEKSANDR USYK'S fame and fortune is a 'curse' while his friends and countrymen are lying dead in trenches and bomb sites. Derek Chisora lost a 12-round decision against the two-weight undisputed genius in 2020 but the pair bashed up an unlikely bromance. 5 5 5 The heavyweight heroes meet at a Ukrainian sauna when the Brit-basher visits London, and they speak regularly on the phone, when the 41-year-Londoner can hear missiles and rockets raging over his roof. Del Boy was ringside to watch Usyk's latest four-belt crowning over Daniel Dubois on Saturday night at Wembley, cementing his place as a generational talent and a multi-millionaire. But he told our Split Decision YouTube show that all the belts and cash in the world are wasted on the devout 38-year-old, while Vladimir Putin lays siege to his home and slaughters his nation. Chisora explained: 'He has made so much money but he can't enjoy it because his country is at war. 'He can't go around driving a Lamborghini while his friends are having their houses destroyed and they are dying. He is cursed. 'He can't go on holiday in St Tropez and sunbathe and drink tequila because his friends are in the trenches. 'He can't enjoy his money. He can't because he is all Ukraine has right now." Since the 2022 invasion, Usyk has scythed through British boxing 's best big men. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS After Chisora was outpointed, the gap-toothed southpaw did almost faultless doubles over Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and now 27-year-old Dubois. And the Englishman reckons the sickening onslaught his people are facing is inspiring him in a way that transcends sport. Oleksandr Usyk has press conference in stitches as he NAMES the left hook that floored Daniel Dubois at Wembley He said: 'The population is going down because so many people, young men, are dying. 'It's so difficult for him but it's also why he is so dedicated, he is doing it for his whole nation. 'If it's your destiny then it's your destiny. If God says it's your path then nothing will take you away from it.' Arguments about cross-generation fantasy fights will rage on in pubs and online forums. But Chisora tries to keep it short and sweet. He added: 'Usyk is 100 per cent a top-10 heavyweight and he is in my top-five. 'European amateur champion, Olympic gold medalist, undisputed cruiserweight world champion and two-time undisputed heavyweight champion. 'What more else can he do? He has whooped us all. He has taken the p***!' 5
