Christina Aguilera Rehearses in Striped Ease Ahead of 2006 Grammys • CelebMafia

In a rainbow-striped cardigan and low-rise jeans, Christina Aguilera brought early-aughts ease—and a flash of vocal fire—to her Grammy rehearsals in Los Angeles.

Before the gowns, the glam, and the gold-plated gramophones, there was this: Christina Aguilera, center stage at the Staples Center, mic in hand, wrapped in a cardigan that looked like it had been borrowed from a technicolor dream. On February 6, 2006, just two days before the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, Aguilera stepped into rehearsal mode with a look that was pure Y2K nonchalance.

The outfit was deceptively simple: a rainbow-striped cardigan layered over a white tank, paired with low-rise jeans that clung like a second skin. No heels, no corsetry—just a woman and her voice. The cardigan, with its oversized buttons and retro palette, felt like a wink to 70s loungewear, filtered through the lens of mid-2000s pop. It was cozy, yes—but also quietly defiant in its refusal to perform for the cameras.
