Christina Aguilera stuns in a denim playsuit and fishnets as she joins the cast of Burlesque: The Musical following the press night performance
Christina Aguilera looked stunning as she joined the cast of Burlesque: The Musical after the press night performance in London on Tuesday. The singer, 44, who played Alice Marilyn Rose in the 2010 film, wore a denim playsuit with fishnet stockings. She teamed the fitted one-piece with a cropped leather jacket and added a pair of thigh-high heeled boots. Joining the cast on stage at The Savoy Theatre after the show, Christina was given a bouquet of flowers. Her first look of the evening consisted of a daring black string mini dress with black stockings and high heels. 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 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. Earlier in the night, the star left little to the imagination as she showcased her underwear beneath a daring black string mini dress 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.

This Morning fans seriously concerned by Christina Aguilera's appearance as she promotes new show - gasping ‘is that even her?!
This Morning viewers were left seriously concerned as US singer Christina Aguilera appeared on the show on Tuesday. Christina, 44, joined Alison for a pre-recorded interview during the latest instalment of the show as Dermot O'Leary, 52, and Alison, 50, hosted the daytime hit. It comes as Burlesque arrives on the West End, 15 years after the iconic movie hit screens in 2010, with it marking Christina's film debut. Burlesque The Musical is now playing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited season until 6 September 2025 following its sold-out run in Manchester. Genie In A Bottle hitmaker Christina wore an olive coloured corset-style bodice for her chat with Alison as she showed off her slim figure, while boasting a large bust. However, as the Birmingham native interviewed the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, fans watching at home were distracted by her appearance. Flooding social media with comments, they expressed some concern about her shrinking size. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, one viewer said: 'My God what has happened to Christina, is that even her?' A second harshly commented: 'State of Christina. Really sad to see... Britney is having a meltdown too.' 'Is Christina Aguilera ok? She doesn't look well,' asked a third worried fan. While a fourth remarked: 'She's wasting away.' Christina previously displayed her thin appearance and caused panic 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 about whether may have turned to Ozempic-like drugs to bring about her drastic 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 the comments. 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. 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.

Impact Theatre's musical time machine returns
The past is calling — and it's coming through loud and clear at the Savoy Theatre. Impact Community Theatre Company is dialling up the volume with the return of one of its most beloved productions, Blast from the Past , a feel-good musical spectacular that takes audiences on a whirlwind journey through four decades of classic chart-toppers. Now under the direction of local theatre stalwart Annaline Stiglingh, and with vocal direction once again led by powerhouse Jody Koesnel, Blast from the Past promises two electrifying hours of singalong hits, dance-floor favourites and unforgettable showmanship. Whether you are a baby boomer or a Gen Z Spotify surfer, this show hits all the right notes. From the golden grooves of the 1950s to the stadium rock of the 1980s, the production celebrates music's most iconic eras with a line-up as bold as its playlist. Expect spine-tingling renditions of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Etta James; the smooth stylings of Frank Sinatra and Neil Diamond; and high-energy tributes to legends such as Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Queen, Billy Joel, and even hard rock heroes ACDC. But the heart of the show lies in its cast — a thrilling blend of seasoned Impact stars and rising young talent. Making a triumphant return to the Savoy stage is international performer Jody Butler, whose role as the Pirate King in the 2013 production still lives rent-free in the minds of local theatregoers. He'll be joined by Hairspray 2023 leads Hannah Stiglingh and Mark Phelps in a mini-reunion bound to bring fresh flair and nostalgic sparkle. Fan favourites such as Oceana Petrus, Monique Tobias, Chris Cressey, and Sharné Osborne promise powerhouse performances, while emerging Nelson Mandela University stars Sisipho Mangqishi, Liyabukwa France and Licebo Mose add youthful energy and fresh vocal fire to the mix. From toe-tapping classics such as Rock Around the Clock to anthems that defined a generation, Blast from the Past is more than a show — it's a musical time capsule, wrapped in sequins and lit by spotlight. The show runs from July 24-27, at 7pm nightly (Thursday to Saturday, with matinees at 2pm on the Saturday and Sunday). Tickets cost between R100 and R130 and are available via Webtickets or Pick n Pay stores. The Herald
