Christina Aguilera made a striking appearance at The Abbey's 35th Anniversary Party in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, turning heads with her look. The 45-year-old pop icon arrived at the celebrity-packed celebration alongside Carmen Electra, who also commanded attention in a daring Playboy-inspired ensemble.

Aguilera embraced edgy glamour for the occasion, stepping onto the red carpet in a sheer black blouse adorned with dramatic ruffled detailing. The “Genie In A Bottle” singer tucked the top into ultra-short black micro shorts, creating a bold silhouette that highlighted her recent body transformation.

Adding even more drama to the look, Aguilera layered the blouse over a black lace bra, which was visible beneath the sheer fabric. She completed the all-black outfit with leather gloves, sheer black tights, and open-toed heels that elongated her toned legs.

Her platinum blonde hair was styled in a sleek side part and softly brushed her shoulders, while her makeup leaned heavily into smoky glamour. Dark shadow framed her eyes, paired with fluttery lashes and sculpted cheeks, finished with warm blush tones.

In April, Carmen Electra spoke with HOLA! about her new role in "Dear Killer Nannies." An intense coming-of-age series told through the eyes of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar Gaviria's son, Juan Pablo. Starring alongside John Leguizamo, she plays Margaret. “I felt like it was a really different role for me,” she said. “I was really excited to be in a movie with a Latin cast. We shot in Colombia, and it’s so beautiful there, and the people were so friendly.”

Looking back at her own roots, she said, “I really love Latin people. Where I'm from, it was very black-and-white. And when I first came to LA, I met so many amazing Latin people along the way that it just felt right for me to play Margaret.”

 “Margaret’s not Latin, she’s a white girl… she doesn’t understand,” Electra explained. “I know words, and I know phrases, but my character doesn’t know anything. It’s all in Spanish… It’s very confusing for her.”

When we asked about the challenges of the role, she mentioned the language barrier. “I’m used to hearing Spanish in Los Angeles, but Colombians speak it a little differently,” she said. “I kind of had to know what they were saying already in order to respond.”
