She dominated the music scene in the 1990s and 00s with her hot hits and impressive vocals, but years later, Christina Aguilera is completely unrecognisable to some fans. 

The Genie In a Bottle singer, 43, is one of the most well-known names in pop music after shooting to international stardom with the release of her self-titled album in 1999. 

Having already dipped her toe in the water starring in The All-New Mickey Mouse Club between 1993 and 1994, Christina was determined to shake her child star and teen fame, and in 2002, revamped her style in conjunction with the release of her best-selling album, Stripped. 

Thriving in her new provocative and grown-up image, the star released multiple US Billboard Hot 100 number one singles, including Lady Marmalade, Beautiful and Dirrty, and made global headlines when she infamously kissed Madonna while onstage with Britney Spears at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.

Going on to take her career to the big screen by starring in the 2010 film Burlesque, the popular series Nashville and coaching on the music reality show, The Voice, between 2011 and 2016, Christina has become household name with an unforgettable face, or so you would have thought.

A recent performance in Las Vegas as part of her residency proved the opposite, with fans admitting that never in a ‘million years’ would they be to recognise the five-time Grammy winner.

A fan took to the video and photo-sharing platform TikTok to share a video of the star singing her 1999 number one hit, What A Girl Wants, and it quickly went viral.

Wearing thigh-high socks and a black-and-white mini dress with her long platinum hair in two pigtails, she sang passionately into the microphone as the crowd went wild, but her appearance left many fans confused.

Commenting on the post, which has amassed over four hundred thousand views, Mary Helen Molina asked: ‘Why does Christina look sooooo different?’

‘She looks way different. I just saw her in another video before this one,’ Rose Tazmin replied.

Pusecat#67 added: ‘How does she look younger. Who ever the doctor some of these other celebrities need to get with them.’

Elsewhere, other fans were quick to point out that Christina looked a lot like her fellow 90s star, Gwen Stefani. 

One comment from ay.eve that read: ‘She looks like Gwen Stefani here’, earned over 200 likes. 

Michael4 wrote: ‘Is that Gwen Stefani?’ With Elsa Romero agreeing: ‘I though it was Gwen too’.

It comes after Christina appeared in Mexico City in May for the Tecate Emblema festival, showing off her recent 50lbs weight loss.

While some fans theorised she has transformed with the help of the weight loss drug Ozempic, the popstar has previously shared how she embraced her curves and loves ‘having a booty’ but planned to keep fit through a diet and exercise routine.
