(OPINION) Christina Aguilera wore a medley of over-the-top raunchy costumes at this year’s Pride celebration in Los Angeles, the crowning jewel of which was a green, Hulk-like number complete with a giant green “strap-on.”
Rolling Stone magazine (and many other outlets) lauded the pop star’s performance at “LA Pride in the Park,” calling it “iconic,” “beautiful,” and everything “the gays” ever wanted. According to TheBlaze, Several posts on Twitter of Aguilera’s Pride in the Park performance are being censored with a label warning, ”
The following media includes potentially sensitive content.” And according to Libs of TikTok, even Aguilera had discretion enough to censor her own photo in a post on Instagram. But the venue itself seems to think parents should bring the kids. The “LA! Pride” website says, “LA Pride in the Park has no age minimum for the music performance.” Oh, and apparently kids under 5 get in free.
Throughout the performance, during which she sang “Dirrty,” “Lady Marmalade,” “Beautiful” and more, Aguilera changed into multiple ensembles that featured cone-shaped nipples and other eyebrow-raising accessories.
At one point, she decked herself in a Pride-themed rainbow outfit, and during another, she recreated the chaps getup from her iconic 2002 “Dirrty” music video – which she also revisited at the 2021 People’s Choice Awards – but this time around, she opted for the look in a fiery red palette that included a bodysuit, sunglasses, and matching microphone.
Xtina’s iconic outfit has inspired countless Halloween costumes over the years; in addition, the pop star’s circa-2000s style recently sparked a scarf top resurgence, and in 2018, cheeky chaps even enjoyed a brief comeback.
