Christina Aguilera brought her signature glamour to Monaco for a royal night out.
The Grammy-winning singer stepped onto the green carpet on September 18 for the 20th anniversary gala of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, joining Prince Albert II, Princess Charlene and a star-studded guest list for the milestone celebration.
Christina made a dramatic entrance in a floor-length black gown that put a glamorous spin on classic evening dressing. The sleek design featured a plunging draped neckline and a daring thigh-high slit, revealing a pair of pointed black pumps as she posed for photographers.
But the standout detail was undoubtedly around her neck. An oversized crystal-encrusted embellishment transformed the otherwise minimalist black gown, adding sculptural sparkle around the neckline and creating a statement jewelry effect.

Christina also leaned into one of her most recognizable beauty signatures: platinum blonde hair.

For makeup, the “Beautiful” singer opted for defined brows, dramatic lashes and sculpted eye makeup, along with rosy cheeks and a glossy nude lip. The result was quintessential Christina. Glamorous, dramatic and unapologetically polished.
