Christina Aguilera goes TOPLESS at Billboard’s Women In Music Awards show in Los Angeles

She was one of the most famous pop divas of the early 2000s, but two decades later Christina Aguilera proved she is still turning heads while attending Billboard’s 2022 Women In Music Awards show in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening. 

The 41-year-old singer risked a wardrobe malfunction as she went topless beneath a two-piece suit that left little room for error as she posed for red carpet photos at the annual event. 

And with the raunchy Xtina side of the pop star rearing its pretty and provocative face alongside H.E.R. during the red carpet portion of the event, a nip slip, or even worse, was a real possibility, if the proper precautions weren’t put into use.   

Daring: Aguilera, 41, went topless and braless when she wore a shiny black suit alongside H.E.R., 24, during the red carpet phase of the evening

Aguilera, 41, stepped out in front of the group of photographers decked out in a shiny black suit with a loose design, which is a departure from her Xtina days of yesterday. 

But be sure, the Stripped star still brought that edginess, in terms of fashion, when she strutted her stuff by wearing her blazer without a top. In fact, in its place, she donned a gold jewelry piece that outlined her exposed cleavage. 

It’s highly likely that she and her glam squad had to use some sort of adhesive to make sure the lapel of her blazer remained secured over her breasts.

 Lovely: The Beautiful singer had her platinum blonde tresses styled with plenty of curls and volume while posing in front of photographers

With H.E.R – real name Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson – by her side for part of the red carpet phase of the evening, the playful ladies were moving frontwards, backwards, and side-to side, striking various poses. 

Decked out in black pants and a black, red and white button-down over a black top, H.E.R’s ensemble didn’t evoke any of those same worries or concerns.  

And any lover of a great mane would adore the Fight For You star’s hairstyle for the event. It flowed well past the middle of her back, with a hefty dose of volume, natural curls, and a part in the middle.

For an added touch of pop star chic, she wore retro white-rim sunglasses that would have made any diva from the 1940s and 50s proud.

During the show, H.E.R received the Impact Award, which is given to an artist who uses their musical platform to create positive change while advocating on behalf of women in — and beyond — the music industry. 

Along with H.E.R. being the recipient of the Impact Award, the other artists recognized during the show included: Gabby Barrett – Rising Star Award; Phoebe Bridgers – Trailblazer Award; Doja Cat – Powerhouse Award; Karol G – Rule Breaker Award; Saweetie – Game Changer Award; Summer Walker – Chartbreaker Award; Bonnie Raitt – Icon Award; and Olivia Rodrigo – Woman Of The Year. 

The Woman Of The Year award, considered one of the main honors, was established to recognize ‘women in the music industry who have made significant contributions to the business and who, through their work and continued success, inspire generations of women to take on increasing responsibilities within the field’, according to the magazine.        

Taylor Swift became the most awarded woman in the event’s history, earning three trophies: two for Woman Of The Year and another for Woman Of The Decade. 

Woman Of The Year Olivia Rodrigo hit the red carpet in a white ruffled spaghetti strap maxi dress and a pair of punky platform boots. The 19-year-old songstress emphasized her tiny waistline with a black leather harness featuring diamond buckles.

Rodrigo achieved superstardom in 2021 with the release of her debut single Drivers License in January of that year. The breakup ballad sat at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for eight weeks.

Her follow-up single Good 4U, which hit the airwaves just days before the release of her debut studio album Sour in May, peaked at No. 1 for one week.

Sour became the year’s highest-charting Billboard 200 album, with the record sitting at No. 1 for five weeks beginning in June. 

Elsewhere Saweetie put on a very busty display as she modeled a barely-there black gown ahead of the night’s ceremony.

The 28-year-old rapper’s daring dress had a plunging mesh bodice that only concealed her nipples while the see-through fringe skirt showed off her toned legs.

Doja Cat also turned heads on the red carpet in a plunging avant-garde gown with exaggerated hips.

The 26-year-old singer added sparkle to her monochromatic look with dangling diamond earrings and a matching choker necklace. 

The annual ceremony was held at the YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park and hosted by Ciara, who was named Billboard’s Woman Of The Year back in 2009.
