Christina Aguilera, 43, is redefining holiday style with her signature mix of comfort and sparkle. In an interview with People, the singer shares how she curates her wardrobe to match the festive spirit while staying true to her style. 

During her downtime, the pop icon embraces comfort with luxurious loungewear. “Being cozy is key,” she says, citing her love for soft sweats, cashmere pieces, and fluffy slippers. But when it’s time to hit a holiday party, Aguilera fully embraces the season’s festive vibes.  “I love playing up the festivities with some sparkle—usually golds, silvers, and reds,” she shares, adding that she never forgets to accessorize.

Her holiday wardrobe includes a glittery cropped cardigan and gold grommet leather hot pants. “The subtle shimmer on these pieces is what makes them perfect for the holidays,” Aguilera explains. 

The Grammy-winning singer surprised fans and attendees on November 21 by attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for H&M's newly renovated flagship store in Times Square, New York City. Aguilera's jaw-dropping transformation amid recent weight loss shocked fans and attendees. The 43-year-old singer embraced the festive spirit with a bold and stylish outfit. She dazzled in high-waisted leather shorts adorned with gold grommets, pairing them with black tights, a sleek black shirt, and daring thigh-high boots. To complete the look, Aguilera wore a dramatic velvet coat that nearly reached the floor, effortlessly blending edgy and elegant elements.

A Touch of Glitz in Beauty

Aguilera’s festive aesthetic extends beyond her outfits to her beauty routine. “A glam glitter red lip is always a fun touch, or shimmering shadows and polish,” she says. Her makeup and manicures are designed to add that extra sparkle, perfectly complementing her holiday outfits.  Her winter skincare routine also takes center stage during the colder months. “Bath time" is her favorite ritual, especially during the holidays.  

Family Traditions in Full Swing

At home, Aguilera celebrates the season with her fiancé Matthew Rutler, and her children, Max, 16, and Summer, 10. Matching Christmas pajamas, complete with fun onesies and cozy socks, are a family favorite. “It’s a big thing for us,” she says, reflecting on the joy of holiday traditions.
