Christina Aguilera Dons 'Birthday Suit' to Celebrate 44 Birthday

Christmas might be around the corner, but Christina Aguilera isn’t letting anyone forget her birthday comes first. The pop icon turned 44 on Wednesday, December 18, and she celebrated in true diva style—with a sultry, nearly nude photo that had fans doing a double take.

In the black-and-white snap, the “Reflection” singer serves full glam as she crouches down in a bold side profile pose. Her signature blonde curls peek out from under a black leather cap, paired with matching short shorts, strappy heels, and no top—just her right arm strategically covering her chest. The caption? A cheeky, "Birthday Suit #44."

Naturally, her fans flooded the comments with love and admiration for the powerhouse singer. “44 NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD,” one wrote. Another added, “I WASN’T READYYYY,” while a third chimed in with, “Omg… happy bday Queen! Hawt hawt picture as always.”

The steamy post comes just a few months after Aguilera opened up to Glamour about her journey with self-image and the relentless tabloid culture of the early 2000s. Back when stars like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson were under constant scrutiny, Aguilera admitted her self-esteem often hinged on “how skinny I was.” But now? She’s done caring about the critics.

“I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f*** about your opinion,” she told the outlet. “It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

These days, Christina channels that same confidence into raising her kids, Max, 16, and Summer, 10. In an interview with People, she shared, “Defining beauty for me is about feeling comfortable in your own skin. That’s a message I always try to instill in my kids. No one else can define what beauty means to you.”

Keep shining, Xtina.
