Christina Aguilera has caused quite a stir on social media ahead of Halloween after sharing a bathtub selfie, with ghost emojis strategically covering her nipples. The 45-year-old American singer prompted one fan to comment: 'Excuse me while I pickup my jaw 😍.'
Aguilera shared the photograph on Wednesday, 28 October, offering a glimpse of how she plans to celebrate this year's Halloween. With her blonde hair falling over one side of her face, she posed in a bathtub.
On her personal Instagram page, Christina wrote: 'Last looks before xtinaween'. Previously, Aguilera has shared Halloween-inspired looks, including an orange-and-black outfit in 2024 and a pirate-inspired costume in 2025.

The Bathtub Gets Attention
Fans quickly weighed in on Aguilera's bathtub selfie. While some couldn't resist complimenting the singer, others found plenty of humour in the photograph, including its rather impressive bathtub.
One commenter praised Aguilera, although she seemed just as taken with the bathroom fixture. 'That's one of the most gorgeous bathtubs I've ever seen... oh and she's still got it🔥and knows it👏,' they wrote. Another fan shared: 'I'm not even looking at her, I want that tub!!!'
The ghost emojis covering Aguilera's nipples inspired a few cheeky jokes of their own. 'Im surprised I haven't seen a comment about them being booo-bies 😂,' one fan said, while another responded: ''Boo bees' I get it.'
A couple of fans drew comparisons to fellow pop star Britney Spears in the discussion. One online user asked: 'Britney? Is that you?' Another referenced the backlash Spears faces when she posts risqué photos, saying: 'But when Britney does it... 👀.'
'Stripped' Era Throwback
Naturally, the post revived memories of Aguilera's early-2000s era. Several followers compared the look to Stripped, her 2002 album, which included the hit single 'Dirrty'.
'Reminds me 2002 Christina Aguilera and the Stripped Album,' one user wrote.
Released 24 years ago, Stripped marked a shift in Aguilera's public image. The record was her fourth studio album and included 'Beautiful' and 'Fighter', alongside 'Dirrty', helping define her sound during that period. It remains one of her best-known releases.
She moved away from the polished pop presentation of her early career and embraced a more daring style, with revealing outfits and provocative performances becoming part of the era's identity.
The album remains a notable chapter in her career, and the recent selfie reminded some followers of the confidence associated with that period.

New Music or Halloween Surprise?
Not everyone visiting Aguilera's comments was there to discuss Halloween. Some followers used the opportunity to ask when she would release new music.
'And new albumtina???? 😌,' one follower asked. And another pleaded: 'How about serving a new album dear??😍'. One fan suggested a seasonal album, writing: 'We need a Halloween album sometime.'
While she hasn't gone into detail about her next record, much of the excitement centred on what the singer might have planned for this year's Halloween. One user warned: 'She's trying to kill us before QUEEN OF HALLOWEEN ARRIVES!' Another wondered: 'God damnit xtina what are you cookingg 😍🔥🔥🔥.' As Halloween approaches, fans seemingly cannot wait for the Grammy-winning artist to reveal her full look.
