The 11th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony was a dazzling blend of celebrity glamour and scientific achievement. While many stars played it safe in classic sequin gowns, Christina Aguilera took a more modern approach with a bold chiffon look—though it received mixed reactions from some fans.
She stunned in a white chiffon Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring a plunging neckline, semi-sheer floor-length cape sleeves, and corset detailing along the bodice.

Christina Aguilera Wears A Corset Chiffon Dress
Her long blonde hair was styled in a half-up, half-down bun style while her glam featured wine-red lips and a subtle smokey eye.
However, users on Reddit weren't fans of her outfit and compared it to things such as shoelaces.
"I'm an Xtina apologist, but even I can’t stand by this. I am sorry."
"Maybe a hot take, but the dress had potential. Unfortunately, the corset looks like Converse shoelaces, though."
"I could dig it if the corset ended at her waist."
"Not really a fan. It looks kind of Halloween costume-y."
"The only thing I like here is the cape. The dress is tacky, imo, and the color doesn’t suit her."
"The corset is too long. I don't like any of it."
"It looks kind of cheap and costumey."
"The corset really messes with her proportions. And her makeup artist and stylist didn’t actually talk to each other, did they?"
Christina Aguilera Sends A Message To Critics
Despite facing criticism over her fashion choices, Christina Aguilera has also been the subject of Ozempic speculation due to her noticeable weight loss, along with plastic surgery rumors surrounding her youthful appearance. However, in a January Instagram post, she urged her fans to tune out the noise and focus on self-confidence.
She captioned the post, “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. 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 44-year-old continued, “Acceptance comes with accepting yourself first. And the difficult journey it takes sometimes to get there,” she wrote. “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…”
