Christina Aguilera Unveils Bondage Revival at Burlesque Premiere London

The dress? Less garment, more attitude. A long-sleeved black minidress composed of thin rope, leather strips, and silver grommets—stitched together like a dominatrix’s dreamcatcher. The peekaboo construction revealed a black lace bra and matching thong, a nod to the film’s unapologetic sensuality. Styled by Chris Horan, the look was a masterclass in method dressing: provocative, referential, and unmistakably Xtina.

Accessories followed suit. Black sheer tights, patent leather stilettos, and chandelier earrings that swung with every camera flash. Her platinum hair was slicked back in a wet-look wave, framing a face sculpted with bronzed contour, cut-crease shadow, and a matte ruby lip.

Aguilera’s presence wasn’t just sartorial—she’s a co-executive producer of the stage adaptation, which reimagines the original film with new music by Todrick Hall and Jess Folley, alongside songs by Aguilera and Sia. The musical, now running through September 6, marks a full-circle moment for the singer, who first taught the world “how to burlesque” 15 years ago.
