She's one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, and a role model to millions of women who admire her success, her philanthropic work and her womanly curves.

But Christina Aguilera's choice of outfit didn't do her figure any favours at the 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards tonight, where she stepped out in a figure-hugging black lace number.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter, who is currently a judge on The Voice, also chose the awards night to debut a new look in the hair department - a two-toned pink-and-purple pony tail.

But it was her dress which commanded the most attention - and not all of it positive.

The floor-length Michael Kors gown, with cut-out lace sections on the back, ribs and arms, clung to the entertainer's body in all the wrong places.

A dramatic slit up one side of the dress, which ended far above her knee, showed off Christina's terrific legs.

But the hit singer went too heavy on the bling in the jewellery, purse and shoe department, which had the effect of competing with her dress rather than complimenting it.

Christina later stepped onstage to accept a trophy after being honored at the awards night, which highlighted the best American Latino contributions to music, film and television.

Her appearance at the awards night comes on the eve of her new single being released on iTunes.

On the cover art for the new single, titled 'Your Body', the platinum blonde artist appears almost naked, covered only in a thin gauzy fabric which affords her a modicum of modesty in the required places.

In a recent interview with Lucky magazine, the singer says she’s totally unrepentant about the way her clothes advertise her assets.

'Actually, the challenge I’ve always had is being too thin, so I love that now I have a booty, and obviously I love showing my cleavage,' Christina told the magazine.

'Hey, if you can work it and you can own it, that confidence is going to shine through.'

She told the magazine: 'When you’re young, it’s so easy to get bull­dozed.'

She was surrounded by people trying to control what she said, what she sang and what she wore.

'There were these two ladies who worked at the record label who always wanted to come to fittings and dress me up like a Barbie doll. It was disgusting.'

Wet wet wet: Christina Aguilera has fake tan running down her legs as she sings at Etta James' funeral


Christina Aguilera must have been feeling the pressure of performing at the funeral of soul legend Etta James.

The Dirrty singer was left red faced after a very unusual malfunction at the star studded farewell at the Bishop Noel Jones City of Refuge in Gardena, California.

It wasn't just the 31-year-old's eyes that were running as she sang.


The Voice judge seemingly over did it with the fake tan and the result was unpleasant streaks down her leg.

As the blonde bombshell belted out a rendition of Etta's most popular song, At Last, lines of fake tan could be seen streaked down the inside of her thigh, across her shin.

It appeared Miss Aguilera was aware that something was awry as she attempted to subtly wipe her legs with the sleeve of her jacket just before she began to sing.

Despite the mishap, Genie In A Bottle singer gave a heartfelt performance at the funeral.

She wore an all black ensemble that comprised of a skirt and a blazer but showed a little bit too much cleavage for such a sombre occasion.

With her trademark curves covered up, the tanned diva was moved by her own performance and admitted before the funeral that James was one of her idols.

Christina said via Twitter: 'One of the greatest moments of my life...Singing with my idol, the legendary Etta James. You will be forever missed.'

Heartfelt: Christina gave an emotional performance at the Bishop Noel Jones City of Refuge in Gardena, California

She added an old black and white photograph of herself performing with the recently deceased songbird.

Music legend Stevie Wonder also performed three songs and gave a harmonica solo.

The Reverend Al Sharpton , who met Etta when he was an up-and-coming preacher, delivered the heartfelt eulogy.

Her idol: Aguilera sang At Last and became very emotional during her performance

Sharpton described Etta as a trailblazer who helped break down the 'colour curtain in America.'

He went on to say she used music to 'bridge a world that was separate,' referring to America's turbulent racial divisions during the civil rights era.

He said: 'She was able to get us on the same rhythms and humming the same ballads and understanding each others' melodies way before we could even use the same hotels.'


Paying respect: Stevie Wonder and backing singers gave tribute to Etta

The legend: Stevie Wonder performed three songs and gave a harmonica solo

James died on January 20 at the age of 73 after a long battle with leukemia and complications from dementia.

Hundreds of her friends, fans and family came out to honour her at the Inglewood Cemetery Mortuary.

Since the singer's death, her album sales have sky rocketed, with fans snapping up her various records.

For the week ending on January 22, James' albums sold a total 30,000 copies, marking a 378 per cent increase over the previous week, when she moved just over 6,000 units.

James won four Grammy Awards, including a lifetime achievement honour and she was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

On the attack: Kelly Osbourne knocks Christina Aguilera's weight yet again


Kelly Osbourne has once again hit out at her nemesis Christina Aguilera over her weight gain.

It comes just two months after the 30-year-old branded the singer a 'fat b***h'.

On E!'s Fashion Police Friday, co-host George Kotsiopoulous defended Christina's unflattering get-up at last weekend's Michael Jackson tribute concert.

He pointed out that she was 'still probably a size 2/4' despite her poor outfit choice.

'Trust me,' Kelly, 26, sniped. 'I'm a 2/4. That is not a 2/4.'

She continued: 'She called me fat for years. I was never that fat.'

The Voice judge has been the source of criticism for pairing a tight-fitting black bodysuit with fishnets, heavy-handed makeup and massive hair.

On a previous episode of the E! commentary show, Ozzy Osbourne's daughter had also attacked the Burlesque star's size.

'Maybe she's just becoming the fat b***h she was always born to be. I don't know. She was a c*** to me', she said.

'She called me fat for so many f***ing years," Osbourne vented, 'so you know what? F**k you! You're fat too.'

Fashion police co-host Joan Rivers agrees with Kelly's analysis. 'Lady Marmalade got into the peanut butter again,' she said.

Kelly has battled her own weight issues in the past, but after appearing on Dancing with the Stars in 2009, managed to lose and keep off 48 pounds.

The battle continues: Aguilera and Osbourne have been feuding for years

Fired up: Kelly Osbourne called Christina Aguilera fat on E!'s Fashion Police


Kelly Osbourne certainly shy in revealing how she feels about her nemesis Christina Aguilera.

While shooting a segment for E!'s Fashion Police segment, the reality star criticised her rival's fuller figure by calling her a 'fat b****.'

Commenting on a photo of the singer wearing a tight black dress, the 26-year-old sniped; 'Maybe she's just becoming the fat b***h she was always born to be. I don't know. She was a c*** to me.'

Curvy girl: Ozzy's daughter mocked The Voice judge for having a slightly fuller figure as she promoted her new fragrance Royal Desire in Munich last month


The cattiness didn't stop there. 'She called me fat for so many f**king years, so you know what? F**k you, you're fat too!' she added.

She wasn't the only one on the panel to criticise the 30-year-old singer, whose weight has yo-yoed since the birth of her son Max in 2008.

Joan Rivers laid into the blonde bombshell, saying: 'She looks like Snooki's Scandinavian cousin. It's a pretty dress but she's stuffed into it.'

Rivals: Kelly and Christina sparred at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2003


Kelly and Christina have famously feuded for years.

Back at the MTV Europe Music Awards in November 2003, the network even aired a skit of Christina throwing darts at a photo of the British personality.

When she took the stage, she mocked Ozzy's daughter as well, saying: 'Oh Lord, I didn't realise it was still Halloween.'

OMG: Kelly shocks E!'s Giuliana Rancic with her comments about rival Christina


But The Voice judge isn't the only person Kelly is sparring with over weight these days. However, given that her body is the source of ridicule might make her a bit more forgiving towards someone else.

While she was attending Amy Winehouse's funeral last week, her ex-fiance Luke Worrall posted a series of cruel tweets making fun of her figure.

He deleted them mere hours later, but a furious Kelly couldn't resist retaliating over Twitter.

Pop shots: Joan Rivers mocked the blond bombshell on E!'s Fashion Police as well


'@luke_worrall you’ve made it very clear u only dated me 4 my life style but s**t tweets about me the day im @ a funeral u have hit a new low.

'It was fine when my Kellyphant ass was paying 4everything wasn’t it? i just didn’t think u could get much lower but u did #wow.'

She posted the following quote on her page on 30 July: 'Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.-Dale Carnegie'

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS RUDE LANGUAGE

Full frontal: Christina Aguilera's infamous black leggings again failed to do any favours in California yesterday


Despite being widely condemned the last time she dipped her toes into them, Christina Aguilera could not resist digging out her infamous skin-tight leggings again.

The 30-year-old singer and The Voice judge slipped into the impossibly tight trousers as she made her way to a studio in California, yesterday.

To make matters worse she paired the look with some mismatched accessories, consisting of silver high heels and a bright red hat.

Once again the leggings clung in all the wrong places, doing the Beautiful singer's curvaceous figure no favours.

But it did not seem to bother Christina, who grinned widely as she showed off every lump and bump.

Despite recently gaining weight, Christina is not afraid to show off her body.


Please leg-go: Many though Christina would retire her leggings after she stepped out in the unflattering attire last month, left


In fact, she went nearly nude for her latest magazine cover.

Christina had her modesty just covered with a white silk cloth and a bunch of red roses in a sultry cover shoot for this month's W Magazine.

And the singer, who has gained a fuller figure in recent months, looks surprisingly svelte posing in all her glory.


X-Tina: The Dirrty singer appeared to be enjoying flaunting her curves as she walked down the street


A few strokes of the airbrush may well have helped Chrstina achieve her slimmer look, or perhaps helped by good lighting and clever photography.

Over the past year, the diva has seen her music career take a nosedive coupled with a series of dramas in her personal life.

But in the accompanying interview, the 30-year-old opens up about her fall from grace and talks about how she is trying to turn things around.

Cellulite: Christina Aguilera revealed 'orange peel' legs at an appearance for Extra The Grove in LA today


She has curves to die for but Christina Aguilera is proof that all the money and fame in the world can't stop you falling prey to cellulite.

There's an irony in the fact that the Lady Marmalade singer suffers from the dimples, which are often described as 'orange peel' because of their texture and appearance.

The singer, who was taping a segment for U.S entertainment show Extra at The Grove shopping mall in L.A, wasn't helped by being raised up on chair at an unflattering angle.

The towering Louboutin shoes and thigh-skimming skirt that the 30-year-old chose to wear also drew attention to her dimpled thighs, especially when she crossed her legs.

Cellulite is usually a genetic inheritance, but the mum-of-one could take steps that would improve the appearance of her legs.

Avoiding sugar is key, as is drinking plenty of water and eschewing alcohol.

The latter is Miss Aguilera's Achilles Heel - or thigh - to be exact, the singer was detained by the West Hollywood police in February because she was too drunk to look after herself.

But Aguilera, who has apparently just recorded a duet with Adam Lambert, seems to be relishing her role as a mentor and judge on hit TV talent contest The Voice.

And it seems Christina Aguilera is going a little bit further than just singing advice when it comes to influencing her young charges.

Finalists and 'Team Christina' members Raquel Castro and Lily Allise arrived at the event in Los Angeles today dressed remarkably similar to their mentor, who was wearing a black and white leopardskin print shirt and short black miniskirt.

The wannabes were clearly taking a leaf out of Christina's style book with their outfits, with finalist Raquel Castro wore an animal print minidress with black peep toe heels similar to the singer.

And singing wannabe Lily Allise wore a near-identical leopardskin top, teaming it with skin tight black trousers and lace up shoes.

The finalists were there to watch Christinajudge a singing contest with the winner awarded tickets to a taping of The Voice.

All smiles: Christina shares a laugh with the crowd as she stands on stage wearing a pair of towering black and white studded heels

Meet and greet: The heavily made up singer signed autographs and posed for pictures with her fans


The talent contest is entering its final stages, with Raquel and Lily set to compete in the Live Show rounds next week.

Christina clearly faced a dilemma on last week's show when she had to choose between Lily and contestant Cherie Oakley to join her final four.

'I'm not looking for perfection,' she said. 'I'm looking for passion and emotion.

'It's going to be really hard for me to send one of my babies home. It's so hard. My two angels,' she added, before selecting Lily

Helping hand: The singer is escorted to her car after the taping by boyfriend Matthew Rutler

Snap happy: The star poses for a photo with the show's host Mario Lopez


However she looked markedly cheerful today as she interacted with the crowd, joking and pulling some dramatic faces and at one point posing for a photo with the event's host Mario Lopez.

She was accompanied by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, who escorted her by the arm into her waiting car after the event.

The final 16 contestants on the NBC talent show will begin the live rounds stage of the competition next week.

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE VIDEO...

Hot and heavy: Christina Aguilera's boyfriend Matthew Rutler emerged from The Beverly nightclub in Beverly Hills last night, with the singer's lipstick smeared all over his mouth


Things certainly got hot and heavy between Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler last night.

Emerging from The Beverly nightclub in Beverly Hills, the 30-year-old's boyfriend was spotted with her signature red lipstick smeared all over his mouth.

It appears that the younger 25-year-old struggled to keep his hands and his lips off the Dirty singer, who looked sexy in a revealing black maxi-dress.


The couple looked a little worse for wear as they emerged from the club, especially Christina, who needed a helping hand from Rutler as they made their way back from the car.

While her eye-make-up was sill in tact, she appeared somewhat glassy eyed.

Earlier in the night, the couple were enjoying a romantic dinner date at their favourite Italian restaurant, Mozza Osteria.

Nice shade: There was no doubt that it was Christina's signature red shade on the 25-year-old's face


Christina had slipped into her sexy long flowing frock had peek-a-boo cut-outs in the front and back showing off the 30-year-old's cleavage and part of her low-back tattoo.

Her inking is a Hebrew psalm, meaning: 'I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine'.

Christina paired the look with a cropped leather jacket and wore her long blonde hair up in a messy bun and slicked some signature red lipstick on her lips.

Peek-a-boo! Christina's long flowing frock had a peek-a-boo cut-out in the back, which showed off her low-back tattoo


Mozza is a favourite haunt of the couple, and is the same eatery they dined at before they were arrested in the early hours of the morning at the start of March this year.

Christina and Rutler were both arrested on March 1st after being picked up by police following their night out.

They were taken to the West Hollywood Sheriff's station at 2.45am where she was booked for public intoxication, while Rutler was charged with driving under the influence.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department set Rutler's bail at $30,000.

Last month the drink driving case against Christina's man were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

He was not charged after the LA County District Attorney officially rejected the matter.

Guest: Christina and Rutler were dining at the restaurant following the singer's appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show


The authorities ruled that Rutler ultimately had a alcohol level of 0.6 - safely under California's 0.8 limit to drive - and not 0.9 as originally reported, TMZ.com claims.

Christina was a passenger at the time of the arrest early last month and was arrested for public intoxication and was deemed 'incapable of taking care of herself'.

She was not charged with any offence.

She admitted to the host that she is frightened of driving in LA because of the paparazzi, and also said that she is flattered when fans get tattoos of her.

'It’s so sweet, it’s so flattering. I don’t know what to say when I see it, I’m always in awe,' she said.

A fan of tattoos herself, Christina has five as part of her body art collection.

They include 'Xtina' on the back of her neck; one above her left hip; one on her left wrist; 'Te Amo Siempre' on her left elbow and her low-back tattoo.

Is that you Christina? The singer steps out in an unusually casual outfit in New York city


We are used to Christina Aguilera's signature style - bright red lipstick, preened blonde hair and a glamorous, usually tight fitting outfit.

But it seems the singer decided to try out a new look - the natural look.

The Burlesque star joined boyfriend, Matt Rutler, for a night out in New York - but she was hardly recognisable with her trademark make-up.


Instead she opted for minimal make-up, leggings and a checked shirt which was unbuttons to show her lacy orange bra.

Her usual styled, sleek hairdo was replaced with a half up half down option with a centre parting.

Maybe the change of style could be a ploy to avoid the waiting photographers? Or just no time to change after a day out?


Christina and boyfriend Matt Rutler went to the celebrity hotspot The Darby, both looking rather under-dressed


She was out on the town with boyfriend of five months Matt, who was a production assistant on Christina's film Burlesque.

They were snapped going into New York celebrity haunt, The Darby.

It's a good job the club doesn't have a strict dress code as the Dirty singer looked like she was on the way to a shopping trip rather than a night on the tiles.

Christina got together with Matt shortly after announcing her split from husband of four years, Jordan Bractman, in October last year.

The former couple met in 2002 when Jordan was working at Azoff Music Management, which is Christin's management company.


The couple have been dating since the end of the last year after meeting on the set of the Burlesque movie


They had a sunset wedding in November 2005 at Staglin Family Vineyard in northern California's Napa Valley.

Together they have a two-and-a-half year-old son Max.


The singer and actress has previously said their marriage started off well but revealed things started to go wrong during the filming of Burlesque last year.

In divorce papers 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause of their break-up.

It also said that a custody deal had been reached 'privately' in regards to Max.


Change of style: Christina looked almost unrecognisable without her trademark styling

Scandal: Hundreds of intimate photos of Christina Aguilera have been offered for sale after she left her memory card in a French hotel


Hundreds of intimate photos of Christina Aguilera have emerged after she apparently left her camera's memory card in a French hotel.

The images are said to show the singer in various intimate situations, including at Nicole Richie's bachelorette party and in bed with her new boyfriend Matthew Rutler.

The photos, dated from June to November last year, surfaced when they were offered for sale to a U.S. website by a man who alleged he had found the lost card in an upscale hotel.


The website claims to have seen the 'romantic' shots of 30-year-old Aguilera and Rutler.

A selection of images reportedly show the new couple kissing passionately in a variety of locations. Another shows them lying in bed together.

The couple met last year on the set of Burlesque, where Rutler worked as a set assistant. Aguilera split from her husband Jordan Bratman in October last year.

Fifteen of the shots show Aguilera at her friend Richie's bachelorette bash in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico last September.

According to U.S. website Radar, which was offered the images for sale, they show her with flowers in her hair, smoking a cigar, drinking, and posing with the bride-to-be.

Richie is also allegedly pictured in a bikini near the beach with a blow-up male doll strapped to her, and drinking champagne.

The website also reports that images show Aguilera in a series of compromising poses, including mimicking oral sex on a banana, dancing on a table, posing with naked men, and posing for before-and-after make-up shots.

This is not the first time Aguilera has seen her private photos made public.

In December a series of images showing her in various stages of undress were published online.

The revelation of the new photos comes just a few weeks after Aguilera's arrest for public intoxication, with recent U.S. media reports saying the star’s friends have been encouraging her to enter rehab for some time.

A spokesman for Aguilera did not respond to a request for comment.
