Christina Aguilera has shocked her longtime fans after appearing completely unrecognizable in a new photoshoot.
The 44-year-old, who has been rumored to have used Ozempic, covered Carcy magazine with a new look following her drastic weight loss.
In one image, the Beautiful singer sat cross legged in a chair while wearing a flimsy gold mini-dress.
Her blonde hair was tousled and she had smoky eye makeup on.
While the shoot drew a lot of praise, many initially failed to recognize that Christina was the subject.
‘Why does she have a different face every time we see her?’ asked one.
‘How amazing does Christina look? I have always been a huge fan of hers, and it’s wonderful to see her looking so happy, healthy, and vibrant in these recent photos,’ expressed another admirer.

‘I thought that was Nicola Peltz for a second,’ added another.
A fourth speculated, ‘Ozempic not only made her lose weight but changed her face too.’
Another wrote, ‘Her ability to look younger every time I see her should be studied. She’s literally aging backwards and looks so stunning.’
Although she hasn’t directly addressed the speculations about Ozempic, Christina recently mentioned that she no longer cares about the public’s opinions on her body.
Reflecting on her early days in the music business, Christina shared with Glamour magazine that record executives were displeased when she gained weight in her twenties, preferring her to remain as a ‘thin teenager.’
‘When you’re a teenager, you have a very different body than when you’re in your 20s,’ Christina said in the cover interview. ‘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.”‘
Fans could barely even recognize the pop star as she showed off her new look in the shoot
Although she has not directly responded to Ozempic rumors, Christina recently remarked that she no longer feels the need to ‘give a f**k’ about the public scrutiny on her body
The star’s weight has fluctuated over the years, with her recently sparking rumours of Ozempic use after debuting a 50lb weight loss.
She previously said she ‘hated being super skinny’ and had started embracing and ‘loving my new curves,’ according to Health.
Christina’s career started out when she competed on Star Search, before being selected for The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.
After hanging up her mouse ears in 1996, Christina recorded the theme tune for Disney movie Mulan which helped propel her to fame with her self-titled debut album the following year.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, with help from her hit singles Genie in a Bottle and What a Girl Wants.
But the pressure to portray a clean cut look all the time was leaving her burnt out, and determined to reclaim her sexuality and break norms she later carved out a decidedly raunchier brand of pop than her peers.

Christina raised eyebrows with X-rated performances in music videos for songs like Dirrty.
She released more hit albums including Stripped and Back to Basics, and made her acting debut in the 2010 musical Burlesque.
After her pop career hit a snag, the songstress served as a coach on NBC’s The Voice on and off for six seasons, before departing the series for good in 2016.
Last year it was revealed that Christina was moving on from the only record label she’s ever signed to, RCA Records, after 26 years.
Now Christina has signed 5020 Records, a Latin-infused label based out of Miami, according to Variety.
The Bionic beauty shut down her critics in a fiery Instagram post on New Year’s Eve.

Captioning a video montage that began with various social media comments people have left on her posts — including speculation about her recent weight loss — she wrote, ‘This year, doing something a little different.
‘This is a reminder to everyone that you are your OWN STORYTELLER in your OWN LIFE. No one else can dictate who you are.’
And she added defiantly, ‘No one deserves an explanation. I am evolved enough to know that nothing comes easy and no one is perfect. Everyone will judge you. No matter WHAT you do. And/or what you don’t do.’
The mother-of-two continued, ‘Acceptance comes with accepting yourself first. And the difficult journey it takes sometimes to get there.
‘I celebrate everyone taking the time to put one step in front of the next every day in order to build the next version of themselves for the better. Allowing yourself grace, patience and respect.’
