Christina Aguilera is serving summer nostalgia in her latest Instagram photoshoot. The 44-year-old singer showed off her slimmed-down figure in a red-and-white bikini from Miami-based Montce Swim as she licked a snow cone in front of the retro Peaches and Cream ice cream truck.
The 'Genie In A Bottle' singer styled her long platinum-blond hair in soft curls, adding a cap and bold red lipstick to complete the look. The photoshoot, captured by artist Dennis Leupold, highlighted the playful theme.
Aguilera, who wore the Binded Cabana Bow Bikini Top paired with the Binded Polly Bikini Bottom in Cherry Cream, captioned the post: “Licky licky yum yum.”
Aguilera’s bold bikini moment didn’t go unnoticed by her celebrity friends. Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton were among the first to show their approval in the comments, with Lopez dropping a string of hearts matching the look of the shoot "🧡❤️🤍", while Hilton added multiple eye emojis 😍 to highlight the star’s striking look.

She told Glamour magazine last year: “I have a maturity now where I just don’t give a f** about your opinion. I’m not going to take it on. It must be your responsibility to take up your space. Other people’s opinions of me are not my business.”

“I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, ‘Oh, she’s getting thicker.’ Then I had industry people say, ‘They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager.’”

At the end of the day, I don’t take myself and fame so seriously. I’m in it for the love and the creativity, and how I can connect and hopefully spread messages.”
“But as far as the fame itself, it’s never been the goal. That’s the most frustrating part for me: having to overgive myself when I’m such a private person, especially with this age of social media. Everybody wants something of you."
