When Christina Aguilera appeared in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland, Florida, it was the fulfillment of one of her dearest dreams since childhood. Singing in celebration of the 50th year the park has been open, the singer called it an "incredible" moment to be performing there, because "when I come here, I get this full circle feeling of where my career began." The singer was introduced onstage by legendary actress Whoopi Goldberg, and for her performance gave stunning renditions of iconic Disney hits “When You Wish Upon A Star” from the movie Pinocchio and “Brave and True” from Mulan, accompanied by a live orchestra. As fireworks burst behind her in the night sky, Christina appeared utterly serene, and more beautiful than ever at 40.
If there was anything more stunning than the vocals, however, it was Christina's white, fairytale-worthy ball gown. The dress, by Bahraini label Monsoori, perfectly complimented the ocassion, and fans were impressed by bridal-inspired look, with many claiming Christina looked like a genuine Disney princess and was styled just perfectly for the magical occasion.
Christina has worn several bridal outfits in her time, and certainly knows how to rock them. So, inspired by her latest appearance, let's take a look at the stories behind this dress and some of her other wedding-esque ensembles...
6 The Monsoori Dress
For her memorable performance, the "Ain't No Other Man" singer wore a haute couture gown designed by Shaima Al-Mansoori. The floor length creation had an off-the-shoulder design, and utilised silky white fabric in large ruffles, and was completed with a dramatic floor-sweeping train.
The sumptuous look was accessorized with a large pearl choker necklace by Vivienne Westwood, jewel-encrusted silk opera gloves and pointed-toe heels. The crowning glory was a glittering, princess-worthy tiara, which was paired with a high-ponytail in the style of Ariana Grande.
5 Monsoori Is A Popular Label For Such Ocassions
The brand has become a favourite among the stars for such opulent ocassions. The label has gained a name for itself for creating dramatic evening gowns for red carpet or black tie events. Celebrities such as Jhene Aiko, Beyoné, Katy Perry, and even Bebe Rexha have modelled Monsoori designs.
4 Her Wedding Dress For Marriage To Jordan Bratman
For her wedding to Jordan Bratman on November 19th 2005, Christina opted to wear a custom-made Spanish flamenco style gown by French designer Christian LaCroix, which had an elaborate ruffled train, together with Christian Louboutin heels and a vintage bejeweled rosary.
The "Dirrty" singer completed the ensemble with jewels and white flowers in her hair. The entire event cost the couple an astonishing $2 million, with more than $30,000 spent on the wedding dress alone.
“I wanted something that would hug my curves and flare out for dramatic appeal,” the tiny songstress said. Christina definitely hit the nail on the head with this gown then.
3 She Had Two Wedding Dresses
Following the beautifully intimate ceremony, Christina changed into a tiny satin mini dress which was designed by her stylist, Simone Harouche. The "Beautiful" singer stunned wedding guests at the glamourous reception, and hugged her new husband Jordan as they watched the wedding band. She wore this unusual little dress while singing her big hit “Lady Marmalade” and Etta James' "At Last" to her new husband, as well as when cutting the cake and dancing the night away during the after party. The tiny dress was sold online at Worth Point for an undisclosed amount.
2 Christina Is Fond Of Big White Dress Looks
If Christina has a signature look, the pure white dress might just be it. She is often seen wearing the colour, and many of the star's most iconic ensembles have been pure white, and the shade certainly compliments the star's platinum blonde locks.
One of her most stunning dresses, and certainly one of the most bridal in look, is for her music video which accompanies new track "Fall On Me". The large, floor-length gown with huge puff sleeves is certainly unique, and Christina connected with nature on shoot, being filmed in a blossom-filled garden. The dress had an earth-goddess bride feel to it, and Christina looked relaxed and happy during the shoot, which she documented on her Instagram page for her fans.
1 She's Rocked The Look On The Red Carpet
At the American Music Awards in 2019, Christina showed up wearing a fabulous pearly ensemble. The floor length gown was accessorised with a large white belt, and featured enormous shoulder pads, together with a gauze hood which was decorated with tiny flowers. To complete the look, Christina opted for several large chunky necklaces, white nail polish, and some unusual rings on both hands.
The look was one of the most stunning of the evening, and certainly turned heads! Many commented on the veil-like design of the dress's hood, which gave Aguilera an elegant appearance.
