Christina Aguilera, the beloved singer, has left fans in awe with a double surprise. Not only has she announced her forthcoming Las Vegas residency, but she has also revealed one of the shortest haircuts we’ve ever seen on her. In a promo photo, Aguilera exudes sultry allure with a wet-look, cropped cut and striking black makeup.
The captivating image showcases Aguilera donning a strapless bodysuit with a mesh bodice, set against a backdrop of glittery darkness. Her edgy haircut, created by the skilled hands of hairstylist Igor Rosales, features a distinct side part. The style leaves us pondering whether this is a bob or if the length is short enough to be classified as a “bixie” — a clever fusion of “bob” and “pixie” — as the textured ends gracefully brush the nape of her neck and earlobe.
The wet appearance of her hair impeccably complements the dramatic dark makeup. Renowned Los Angeles-based makeup artist Etienne Ortega adorned her eyelids with a bold black shade, fashioning a striking cat-eye effect. Achieving a lustrous, “glazed donut” skin finish involved meticulous highlighter application and thorough skin preparation. Some adhere to the beauty mantra of opting for either a dramatic lip or eye makeup, but Aguilera and Ortega boldly defy that convention. They transport us back to the iconic ’90s look with a distinctive ombré lip. Aguilera’s lips were expertly outlined with black liner before being filled with a pink gloss.
For a considerable duration, Aguilera has been recognized for her signature platinum blonde tresses, which typically cascade down to her waist or hips. As recently as September, her loose, blonde waves could be seen gracing the streets of New York City.
However, this is not Aguilera’s first foray into shorter hair. Devoted fans might recall her curly bob during her “Back to Basics” era in 2006. Four years later, she took an even bolder step by adopting a straightened, jawline-length hairstyle, which she elegantly showcased at the 2010 Golden Globes.
Aguilera’s Las Vegas residency is set to kick off during New Year’s Eve weekend at the Voltaire Belle de Nuit at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, with tickets available for purchase starting on Friday, October 13. Whether Aguilera will continue to flaunt this chic and short haircut as the new year arrives remains a tantalizing mystery. Only time will reveal that.
