Christina Aguilera squeezes her curves into an unflattering tight dress as she shows off her new rainbow hair

Scroll down for video

She's one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, and a role model to millions of women who admire her success, her philanthropic work and her womanly curves.

But Christina Aguilera's choice of outfit didn't do her figure any favours at the 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards tonight, where she stepped out in a figure-hugging black lace number.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter, who is currently a judge on The Voice, also chose the awards night to debut a new look in the hair department - a two-toned pink-and-purple pony tail.

But it was her dress which commanded the most attention - and not all of it positive.

The floor-length Michael Kors gown, with cut-out lace sections on the back, ribs and arms, clung to the entertainer's body in all the wrong places.

A dramatic slit up one side of the dress, which ended far above her knee, showed off Christina's terrific legs.

But the hit singer went too heavy on the bling in the jewellery, purse and shoe department, which had the effect of competing with her dress rather than complimenting it.

Christina later stepped onstage to accept a trophy after being honored at the awards night, which highlighted the best American Latino contributions to music, film and television.

Her appearance at the awards night comes on the eve of her new single being released on iTunes.

On the cover art for the new single, titled 'Your Body', the platinum blonde artist appears almost naked, covered only in a thin gauzy fabric which affords her a modicum of modesty in the required places.

In a recent interview with Lucky magazine, the singer says she’s totally unrepentant about the way her clothes advertise her assets.

'Actually, the challenge I’ve always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty, and obviously I love showing my cleavage,' Christina told the magazine.

'Hey, if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through.'

She told the magazine: 'When you’re young, it’s so easy to get bull­dozed.'

She was surrounded by people trying to control what she said, what she sang and what she wore.

'There were these two ladies who worked at the record label who always wanted to come to fittings and dress me up like a Barbie doll. It was disgusting.'

Christina Aguilera reveals fake tan streaks on her Dirrty legs at the funeral of Etta James

By J J Anisiobi


Wet wet wet: Christina Aguilera has fake tan running down her legs as she sings at Etta James' funeral


Christina Aguilera must have been feeling the pressure of performing at the funeral of soul legend Etta James.

The Dirrty singer was left red faced after a very unusual malfunction at the star studded farewell at the Bishop Noel Jones City of Refuge in Gardena, California.

It wasn't just the 31-year-old's eyes that were running as she sang.


The Voice judge seemingly over did it with the fake tan and the result was unpleasant streaks down her leg.

As the blonde bombshell belted out a rendition of Etta's most popular song, At Last, lines of fake tan could be seen streaked down the inside of her thigh, across her shin.

It appeared Miss Aguilera was aware that something was awry as she attempted to subtly wipe her legs with the sleeve of her jacket just before she began to sing.

Despite the mishap, Genie In A Bottle singer gave a heartfelt performance at the funeral.

She wore an all black ensemble that comprised of a skirt and a blazer but showed a little bit too much cleavage for such a sombre occasion.

With her trademark curves covered up, the tanned diva was moved by her own performance and admitted before the funeral that James was one of her idols.

Christina said via Twitter: 'One of the greatest moments of my life...Singing with my idol, the legendary Etta James. You will be forever missed.'

Heartfelt: Christina gave an emotional performance at the Bishop Noel Jones City of Refuge in Gardena, California

She added an old black and white photograph of herself performing with the recently deceased songbird.

Music legend Stevie Wonder also performed three songs and gave a harmonica solo.

The Reverend Al Sharpton , who met Etta when he was an up-and-coming preacher, delivered the heartfelt eulogy.

Her idol: Aguilera sang At Last and became very emotional during her performance

Sharpton described Etta as a trailblazer who helped break down the 'colour curtain in America.'

He went on to say she used music to 'bridge a world that was separate,' referring to America's turbulent racial divisions during the civil rights era.

He said: 'She was able to get us on the same rhythms and humming the same ballads and understanding each others' melodies way before we could even use the same hotels.'


Paying respect: Stevie Wonder and backing singers gave tribute to Etta

The legend: Stevie Wonder performed three songs and gave a harmonica solo

James died on January 20 at the age of 73 after a long battle with leukemia and complications from dementia.

Hundreds of her friends, fans and family came out to honour her at the Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary.

Since the singer's death, her album sales have sky rocketed, with fans snapping up her various records.

For the week ending on January 22, James' albums sold a total 30,000 copies, marking a 378 per cent increase over the previous week, when she moved just over 6,000 units.

James won four Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement honour and she was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

Curvy Christina Aguilera hits another bum fashion note as she spills out of her bandage dress

By Rachel Marlowe


A cry for help?: Singer Christina Aguilera seemed to be squeezed to the point of discomfort in her tight bandage-style dress as she performed tonight


It's supposed to hold you in - but it seems Christina Aguilera's bandage dress was somewhat challenged as she appeared onstage last night.

Miss Aguilera continued with her recent streak of fashion disasters at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles.

The Voice star bulged out of her bandage-style silver dress while performing the smash hit single Moves Like Jagger with Maroon 5.


The figure hugging mini-dress was a little on the small, short and tight side for her curvier figure, but she didn't seem to mind as she flaunted it in all it's glory.

As she was raised onto the stage mid-song on a glittery silver podium, Christina looked significantly heavier than the size four she has claimed to be.

Round as a pound: Christina flaunted her new curves


And her protruding belly sparked a flurry of speculation online as to whether the singer was pregnant again.

Her hair, which she wore in long curls, was heavily bleached and she finished off the brassy look with silver sequinned peep-toe platforms and glittery eye-shadow.

Kelly Osbourne recently took great pleasure in criticising Aguilera for her weight gain on the E! show Fashion Police.

Belter: Christina's belt-like dress did nothing for her curvy figure


'She called me fat for years', Kelly said. 'I was never that fat.'

Osbourne was criticising Aguilera's appearance at the Michael Jackson tribute concert where the singer appeared on stage wearing clownish make-up, ratty hair and was dressed in an unflattering bodysuit with fishnet tights.

'Lady Marmalade got into the peanut better again,' added cohost Joan Rivers.

Breathless: The Voice judge strikes a sultry pose on stage


American Idol star Kelly Clarkson also appeared fuller figured but she chose to keep her curves under wraps in a full-length sequinned red gown.

The 29-year-old performed a jazzed up version of her single Mr Know-It-All off her new album Stronger surrounded by thirties-themed paparazzi dancers.

She was almost unrecognisable with her darker hair and heavier build
Clarkson recently joked about wearing two pairs of Spanx while performing on VH1's Unplugged: 'Oh dear God, can we just sing?' she said.

Christina Aguilera steps out trouserless for the SECOND time this week... and exposes her black panties

By Jade Watkins


Forgotten something... again? Christina Aguilera stepped out bottomless for the second time this week today, for a shopping trip in West Hollywood


She lost half of her outfit earlier on Monday when she went on a dinner date with her boyfriend Matt Rutler.

And it seems that bizarrely Christina Aguilera has forgotten her trousers again, as she stepped out bottomless for the second time this week.

The 30-year-old Dirrty singer wore just a pair of black underpants and stockings on her lower half as she went shopping at upscale department store Fred Segal in West Hollywood.

Not a care in the world: Christina's underwear was on full display for all to see as she exited the store with a friend

Her underwear was on full display for all to see as she exited the shop with a friend.

Seemingly unaffected by the cooler LA conditions, Christina paired her knickers with just a white T-shirt and leather jacket.

Since her split from husband Jordan Bratman, the mother of one, son Max, three, has exhibited increasingly bizarre behaviour.

She has gained weight, is often seen falling out of clubs with her young boyfriend Matt and her wardrobe has regressed to the bad old 'Xtina' days when she favoured leather chaps - with nothing underneath.

Not a good look: The 30-year-old Dirrty singer wore just a pair of black underpants and stockings to shop at upscale department store Fred Segal in West Hollywood

She accessorised the bizarre look with a pair of giant sunglasses, an oversized trucker cap and sky-high black Christian Louboutins.

Without a care in the world, The Voice judge waved to her fans as she jumped into an awaiting chaufffered car, which whisked her away down the road to racy lingerie shop Agent Provocateur.

And as if her risque attire wasn't enough, it looks like boyfriend Matt could be in for another treat if Christina's visit to the famed underwear store is anything to go by.

Nonchalant: Without a care in the world, The Voice judge waved to her fans as she jumped into an awaiting chauffeured car, which whisked her away

The blonde was spotted flashing a cheeky smile as she left the store, which is favoured by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss.

While it was Christina's friend who was clutching the store's signature pale pink bag, the mischievious look on the Dirrty singer's face indicated that she perhaps had picked some sexy treats of her own.

Christina's daring shopping trip comes after she stepped out earlier this week looking smitten on the arm of Matt after the pair enjoyed a romantic meal.

Cold? Moi? Seemingly unaffected by the cooler LA conditions Christina paired her knickers with some black stockings, a white t-shirt and a leather coat

Something for boyfriend Matt? Christina later visited racy lingerie shop Agent Provocateur in the same outfit

With her wild blonde hair, fish nets and other skimpy attire, Christina was certainly going for the risque look for the dinner date.

The popstar opted for a T-shirt and leather jacket, but no trousers and bizarrely teamed the outfit with a pair of towering high heels, which would have better suited a nice evening dress.

The usually heavily-painted star also went make-up free as she and Matt enjoyed a Monday night out at Off Vine in Hollywood

Bottoms off! Christina lost her trousers earlier this week as she and boyfriend Matt Rutler enjoyed a romantic meal at Off Vine in Hollywood on Monday

But the couple looked happy, with Christina beaming widely as she skillfully navigated the stairs of the restaurant in her heels while clinging on to her man's arm.

With her two happy outings this week, she has shown no sign of letting rival Kelly Osborne's comments about her weight get to her - or reports she has been told by executives on singing show, The Voice, to lose weight.

Christina, a judge on the U.S. show, is reportedly a size 12/14, or 9st, 4lbs, but has been told to lose 10lbs because it is 'difficult to dress her'.

Bulked up: Christina looked heavier as she performed at the 'Michael Forever' memorial concert for the late Michael Jackson in Cardiff last weekend

A source told Closer magazine: 'TV bosses say it's a health issue. But what they really mean is she no longer looks sexy. She's been told to lose at least 10lbs before the next season starts in early 2012 - she went up two dress sizes in a matter of weeks.

'She's been recommended a nutritionist and is meant to be on a strict diet. But she enjoys a glass on wine, doesn't care what she eats and hates exercise.'.

Friends said she 'comfort ate' after her divorce from husband Jordan Bratman was finalised late last year.

Christina is said to have gained three stone after she gave birth to her son max in 2008, but had slimmed down to a size 10 again last year

The superstar was a tiny size six when she rose to fame as a teenager in 2000.

Meanwhile, Kelly Osborne discussed Christina's weight on E!'s Fashion Police Friday.

Co-host George Kotsiopoulous defended her unflattering get-up at last weekend's Michael Jackson tribute concert.

He pointed out that she was 'still probably a [American] size 2/4' despite her poor outfit choice.

'Trust me,' Kelly, 26, sniped. 'I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4.'

She continued: 'She called me fat for years. I was never that fat.'

Fashion police co-host Joan Rivers agrees with the analysis.

'Lady Marmalade got into the peanut butter again,' she said.

Christina has been the source of criticism for pairing a tight-fitting black bodysuit with fishnets, heavy-handed makeup and massive hair.

On a previous episode of the E! commentary show, Ozzy Osbourne's daughter had also attacked the Burlesque star's size.

'Maybe she's just becoming the fat b***h she was always born to be. I don't know. She was a c*** to me', she said.

'She called me fat for so many f***ing years," Osbourne vented, 'so you know what? F*** you! You're fat too.'

Kelly has battled her own weight issues in the past, but after appearing on Dancing with the Stars in 2009, managed to lose and keep off 48 pounds.

Where's the rest of your outfit? Make-up free Christina Aguilera ditches her trousers for dinner date with boyfriend Matt

By Alanah Eriksen


Forgotten something? Christina and boyfriend Matt Rutler enjoyed a romantic meal at Off Vine in Hollywood


With the wild blonde hair, fish nets and other skimpy attire, Christina Aguilera could have been mistaken for another risque singer.

The popstar opted for a T-shirt and no trousers as she enjoyed a romantic meal with her boyfriend, Matt Rutler last night.

She bizarrely teamed the look with a pair of towering high heels, which would have better suited a nice evening dress.


And matched with a black leather jacket, the 30-year-old could have passed for Pretty Reckless rocker Taylor Momsen.

Except one thing was missing - make-up.
The usually heavily-painted star went slap free as she and Matt enjoyed a Monday night out dinner at Off Vine in Hollywood.

The restaurant which specialises in California American cuisine with an emphasis on generous portions of comfort foods such as pasta, meatloaf and steaks.

But the couple looked happy, Christina beaming widely as she skillfully navigated the stairs of the restaurant in her heels while clinging on to her man's arm.

There was no sign that the star was letting rival Kelly Osborne's comments about her weight get to her - or reports she has been told by executives on singing show, The Voice, to lose weight.

On the attack: Kelly Osbourne knocks Christina Aguilera's weight yet again


Kelly Osbourne has once again hit out at her nemesis Christina Aguilera over her weight gain.

It comes just two months after the 30-year-old branded the singer a 'fat b***h'.

On E!'s Fashion Police Friday, co-host George Kotsiopoulous defended Christina's unflattering get-up at last weekend's Michael Jackson tribute concert.

'She's a fat b****': Kelly Osbourne reignites long-running feud with Christina Aguilera

By Daily Mail Reporter


Fired up: Kelly Osbourne called Christina Aguilera fat on E!'s Fashion Police


Kelly Osbourne certainly shy in revealing how she feels about her nemesis Christina Aguilera.

While shooting a segment for E!'s Fashion Police segment, the reality star criticised her rival's fuller figure by calling her a 'fat b****.'

Commenting on a photo of the singer wearing a tight black dress, the 26-year-old sniped; 'Maybe she's just becoming the fat b***h she was always born to be. I don't know. She was a c*** to me.'

Curvy girl: Ozzy's daughter mocked The Voice judge for having a slightly fuller figure as she promoted her new fragrance Royal Desire in Munich last month


The cattiness didn't stop there. 'She called me fat for so many f**king years, so you know what? F**k you, you're fat too!' she added.

She wasn't the only one on the panel to criticise the 30-year-old singer, whose weight has yo-yoed since the birth of her son Max in 2008.

Joan Rivers laid into the blonde bombshell, saying: 'She looks like Snooki's Scandinavian cousin. It's a pretty dress but she's stuffed into it.'

Rivals: Kelly and Christina sparred at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2003


Kelly and Christina have famously feuded for years.

Back at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2003, the network even aired a skit of Christina throwing darts at a photo of the British personality.

When she took the stage, she mocked Ozzy's daughter as well, saying: 'Oh Lord, I didn't realise it was still Halloween.'

OMG: Kelly shocks E!'s Giuliana Rancic with her comments about rival Christina


But The Voice judge isn't the only person Kelly is sparring with over weight these days. However, given that her body is the source of ridicule might make her a bit more forgiving towards someone else.

While she was attending Amy Winehouse's funeral last week, her ex-fiance Luke Worrall posted a series of cruel tweets making fun of her figure.

He deleted them mere hours later, but a furious Kelly couldn't resist retaliating over Twitter.

Pop shots: Joan Rivers mocked the blond bombshell on E!'s Fashion Police as well


'@luke_worrall you’ve made it very clear u only dated me 4 my life style but s**t tweets about me the day im @ a funeral u have hit a new low.

'It was fine when my Kellyphant ass was paying 4everything wasn’t it? i just didn’t think u could get much lower but u did #wow.'

She posted the following quote on her page on 30 July: 'Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.-Dale Carnegie'

Please leg-go! Christina Aguilera digs out her favourite skin-tight leggings and they STILL don't do her any favours

By Daily Mail Reporter


Full frontal: Christina Aguilera's infamous black leggings again failed to do any favours in California yesterday


Despite being widely condemned the last time she dipped her toes into them, Christina Aguilera could not resist digging out her infamous skin-tight leggings again.

The 30-year-old singer and The Voice judge slipped into the impossibly tight trousers as she made her way to a studio in California, yesterday.

To make matters worse she paired the look with some mismatched accessories, consisting of silver high heels and a bright red hat.

Once again the leggings clung in all the wrong places, doing the Beautiful singer's curvaceous figure no favours.

But it did not seem to bother Christina, who grinned widely as she showed off every lump and bump.

Despite recently gaining weight, Christina is not afraid to show off her body.


Please leg-go: Many though Christina would retire her leggings after she stepped out in the unflattering attire last month, left


In fact, she went nearly nude for her latest magazine cover.

Christina had her modesty just covered with a white silk cloth and a bunch of red roses in a sultry cover shoot for this month's W Magazine.

And the singer, who has gained a fuller figure in recent months, looks surprisingly svelte posing in all her glory.


X-Tina: The Dirrty singer appeared to be enjoying flaunting her curves as she walked down the street


A few strokes of the airbrush may well have helped Chrstina achieve her slimmer look, or perhaps helped by good lighting and clever photography.

Over the past year, the diva has seen her music career take a nosedive coupled with a series of dramas in her personal life.

But in the accompanying interview, the 30-year-old opens up about her fall from grace and talks about how she is trying to turn things around.

Even celebrities can't escape the curse of cellulite... Christina Aguilera reveals dreaded 'orange peel' at L.A event

By Daily Mail Reporter


Cellulite: Christina Aguilera revealed 'orange peel' legs at an appearance for Extra The Grove in LA today


She has curves to die for but Christina Aguilera is proof that all the money and fame in the world can't stop you falling prey to cellulite.

There's an irony in the fact that the Lady Marmalade singer suffers from the dimples, which are often described as 'orange peel' because of their texture and appearance.

The singer, who was taping a segment for U.S entertainment show Extra at The Grove shopping mall in L.A, wasn't helped by being raised up on chair at an unflattering angle.

The towering Louboutin shoes and thigh-skimming skirt that the 30-year-old chose to wear also drew attention to her dimpled thighs, especially when she crossed her legs.

Cellulite is usually a genetic inheritance, but the mum-of-one could take steps that would improve the appearance of her legs.

Avoiding sugar is key, as is drinking plenty of water and eschewing alcohol.

The latter is Miss Aguilera's Achilles Heel - or thigh - to be exact, the singer was detained by the West Hollywood police in February because she was too drunk to look after herself.

But Aguilera, who has apparently just recorded a duet with Adam Lambert, seems to be relishing her role as a mentor and judge on hit TV talent contest The Voice.

And it seems Christina Aguilera is going a little bit further than just singing advice when it comes to influencing her young charges.

Finalists and 'Team Christina' members Raquel Castro and Lily Allise arrived at the event in Los Angeles today dressed remarkably similar to their mentor, who was wearing a black and white leopardskin print shirt and short black miniskirt.

The wannabes were clearly taking a leaf out of Christina's style book with their outfits, with finalist Raquel Castro wore an animal print minidress with black peep toe heels similar to the singer.

And singing wannabe Lily Allise wore a near-identical leopardskin top, teaming it with skin tight black trousers and lace up shoes.

The finalists were there to watch Christinajudge a singing contest with the winner awarded tickets to a taping of The Voice.

All smiles: Christina shares a laugh with the crowd as she stands on stage wearing a pair of towering black and white studded heels

Meet and greet: The heavily made up singer signed autographs and posed for pictures with her fans


The talent contest is entering its final stages, with Raquel and Lily set to compete in the Live Show rounds next week.

Christina clearly faced a dilemma on last week's show when she had to choose between Lily and contestant Cherie Oakley to join her final four.

'I'm not looking for perfection,' she said. 'I'm looking for passion and emotion.

'It's going to be really hard for me to send one of my babies home. It's so hard. My two angels,' she added, before selecting Lily

Helping hand: The singer is escorted to her car after the taping by boyfriend Matthew Rutler

Snap happy: The star poses for a photo with the show's host Mario Lopez


However she looked markedly cheerful today as she interacted with the crowd, joking and pulling some dramatic faces and at one point posing for a photo with the event's host Mario Lopez.

She was accompanied by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, who escorted her by the arm into her waiting car after the event.

The final 16 contestants on the NBC talent show will begin the live rounds stage of the competition next week.
