Christina Aguilera has been named the face of Charlotte Tilbury's 2026 Christmas campaign, with the singer revisiting the showgirl glamour associated with her performance of 'Lady Marmalade' for the beauty brand's latest holiday campaign.
The campaign, unveiled on 1 October, marks 25 years since Aguilera appeared on the soundtrack of Moulin Rouge! with Lil' Kim, Mýa and P!nk for their version of 'Lady Marmalade'. Charlotte Tilbury has used the anniversary as the central theme for a theatrical holiday campaign built around Old Hollywood glamour, burlesque styling and showgirl beauty.
A Christmas Showgirl
Aguilera appears in the campaign wearing a sparkling, beaded showgirl-style bodysuit as she performs the song in a Christmas-themed setting. The campaign video places the singer alongside Charlotte Tilbury founder Charlotte Tilbury, with the beauty brand's products incorporated into the production.
The collaboration also brings Aguilera back to a visual era that remains closely associated with her early-2000s career. Rather than recreating the original Moulin Rouge! setting, Charlotte Tilbury has adapted the showgirl concept for its Hollywood Holiday Wonderland campaign.
Aguilera said she was excited when Tilbury contacted her about appearing in the holiday campaign. She also said she had used Charlotte Tilbury products for years and that the brand's vision immediately connected with different stages of her career.
The Holiday Range
The singer's campaign makeup includes products from Charlotte Tilbury's 2026 holiday range. The new Hollywood Flawless Light Tricks Eye Palette is used for the eye look, while Airbrush Flawless Foundation and Airbrush Flawless Concealer form the base. Beauty Light Wands in Pillow Talk and Spotlight are used to add luminosity.
The look also incorporates Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk products. The brand's published breakdown lists Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk Medium, Matte Revolution lipstick in Pillow Talk and Pillow Talk Blush Balm Lip Tint in Blushed Rose.
Aguilera told Page Six that her preferred festive beauty approach includes a classic red lip with a shimmery eye, while she also switches to a smoky metallic eye with a nude lip. She highlighted sparkle, gold and silver tones as products and finishes she particularly enjoys during the holiday season.
Feeling Festive
The campaign forms part of Charlotte Tilbury's wider 2026 Christmas offering, which includes its Hollywood Beauty Wonderland collection and annual advent calendar. The 2026 advent calendar contains 15 products, including four full-sized items, as well as accessories, according to the company's earlier holiday announcement.
Aguilera is not the only celebrity appearing in the new campaign. Existing Charlotte Tilbury ambassadors, including model Jasmine Tookes and Bella Tilbury, the founder's niece, also feature in the holiday campaign.
Charlotte Tilbury has previously used major celebrity names for its seasonal campaigns. Celine Dion fronted the brand's 2025 holiday campaign, while Kylie Minogue, Richard E Grant and Kate Moss were among the stars featured in its 2024 Christmas campaign.
For Christina Aguilera, the partnership connects a major beauty campaign with one of the most recognisable songs of her career. 'Lady Marmalade' was originally recorded by Labelle in 1974 and was later reworked for the 2001 Moulin Rouge! soundtrack. Aguilera's version topped charts internationally and became a defining pop culture moment of the period.
