Christina Aguilera teases 'Xtinaween' with nude bathtub selfie set to Lana Del Rey

Christina Aguilera rang in Halloween week the way only she can: posing nude in a cream bathtub, two ghost emojis standing in for a top, her platinum blonde hair swept across her face, and Lana Del Rey's cover of 'Season of the Witch' playing underneath. She posted the selfie to Instagram on October 28 with the caption 'last looks before xtinaween 😏🎃🤡😈👻,' teasing the annual costume celebration her fans have come to expect.

The image spread quickly. Fan comments ranged from 'that wasn't an earthquake it was just me falling to my knees' to 'hold on, let me pick my jaw up from the floor,' according to Fox News and PureWow. Her stylist, Chris Horan, got in on the joke, commenting 'I ain't 'fraid of those ghosts,' per PureWow.

The bathtub snap is the latest in a run of deliberately bold social media moments from the 45-year-old singer. In January, according to Page Six, she shared a Paris carousel in which she went topless in favor of a statement diamond necklace of more than 50 carats, paired with a voluminous black tulle skirt, captioning it 'northern lights, parisian nights.' In December 2024, she marked her 44th birthday with a black-and-white photo in leather micro shorts, a black hat, and heels — nothing else — captioned simply 'Birthday Suit #44.'

That birthday post came in the same month she addressed online scrutiny of her appearance head-on, sharing a montage of critical comments about her looks amid speculation about Ozempic use. She had first sparked those rumors in May 2024 after debuting a noticeably slimmer figure during a performance in Mexico, according to Page Six. She has not directly addressed the Ozempic speculation.

This is a reminder to everyone that you are your OWN STORYTELLER in your OWN LIFE. No one else can dictate who you are. No one deserves an explanation.— Christina Aguilera

She had made a similar point in an interview with Glamour, where she reflected on a career's worth of body scrutiny that began when she was a teenager.

Christina Aguilera said she has a maturity now where she just doesn't give a f*** about others' opinions, adding that it must be your responsibility to take up your space and that other people's opinions of her are not her business.

With 'Xtinaween' now officially teased, fans are waiting to see what costumes the singer has planned for Saturday.

Why it matters — The post is the latest move in Aguilera's sustained, public effort to control her own image after years of industry and online scrutiny — and a reminder that at 45 she remains one of pop's most attention-commanding presences.
