Christina Aguilera wore a vintage Versace dress while attending the West End premiere of Burlesque: The Musical on Monday, July 21, in London.
Photos of Aguilera, an executive producer of the musical, quickly made their way online, where fans caught glimpses of her ensemble on social media. The strappy Versace green dress was paired with dark lipstick, black knee-high boots, and Aguilera's classic platinum blond hair.
It didn’t take long for the internet to start talking about the "Genie in a Bottle" singer’s fashion choice — and not everyone was feeling it.
"I just know her hair & makeup stylist hates her," wrote one fan on Instagram.
"Fire the glam team...they did our girl DIRRRTY!?" chimed in another, referencing the singer’s 2002 hit "Dirrty."
Others expressed concern over Aguilera’s appearance, pointing to her recent weight loss.
"This is not healthy at all," one person commented. Another added, "Cher looks younger than her, she needs to stop taking Ozempic, wish her good health."
Still, not all the reactions were negative. Some fans stepped in to defend the look.
"She looks better than everyone commenting, that’s for sure," said one commenter.
"I just don’t love this dress, but you can’t deny it’s iconic. I remember Beyoncé wore it at one point," someone wrote on Reddit, referencing the Versace dress. An Instagram user made the same connection, saying, "OMG she's wearing the dress from her 2003 Versace campaign! I remember tearing those photos out of a magazine in high school!"
The green corset dress came from Versace’s Fall 2003 collection — the same one Aguilera modeled 22 years ago.
Former Versace creative director Donatella Versace previously spoke about teaming up with Aguilera for the 2003 campaign.
“I watch the videos of Christina and I always die,” Versace said at the time, via Billboard. “She is a great dancer, a great singer, her voice is amazing. I always hoped I could do something with her."
