Two days later, “The Voice” alum joined the London cast for a photocall for the show. The singer showcased her svelte frame in a form-fitting olive green dress, but her fans had mixed reactions to both the outfit and her hair and makeup.
Christina Aguilera’s Fans Had Mixed Reactions
E! News posted an Instagram video of Aguilera wearing the corset-style Versace dress and thigh-high black boots. Her makeup was goth-inspired, featuring dark lips, heavy eye makeup, and dark contouring that accentuated her already prominent cheekbones. Her hair was also frizzy and blown out.

Many took to the comments to blast the look as harsh. “Why did her makeup and hair stylist do this to her?” wrote one person. “I feel like the color is not complimenting her along with the lipstick and really crispy hair. Would be a great hocus pocus halloween outfit tho,” another commented.
But not everyone disliked the look. Several fans immediately recognized that she was partially recreating a look she had worn for Versace in Fall 2003.

Christina Aguilera Made Her Acting Debut in the 2010 Film
In the 2010 film, Aguilera played Alice ‘Ali’ Marilyn, a girl who leaves her small Iowa town and heads to Los Angeles to become a singer. She gets a job at a burlesque lounge as a waitress and dancer. Cher plays Tess Scali, the owner of the lounge. The film marked Aguilera’s film debut, and she also contributed to the 2010 album. It was considered a success, as it earned almost $90 million on a $55 million budget.
““I’m proud that ‘Burlesque the Musical’ is coming to London’s West End!” Aguilera said in a statement (via Playbill). “Our journey of making this film to bringing this show to the stage has been so special and exciting. Following our successful previews, having the show land in the West End later this year is a dream come true!”
