Christina Aguilera kicks off Las Vegas residency in sexy costumes and thigh-high boots while performing 11 of her hits and four covers
Christina 'Xtina' Aguilera officially kicked off her 10-date Las Vegas residency at the brand new Voltaire Belle De Nuit located inside The Venetian Resort and Casino in Nevada on Saturday night.
The 43-year-old R&B belter had over 10 costume changes, selected by stylist Chris Horan, throughout the sold-out show inside the 'seductively cozy' 1K-seat key-hole themed theater.
Christina's sexiest get-up was a black strapless PVC leotard designed by Anthony Ladd Canney and matching thigh-high boots she wore on a bed (a la Madonna) to perform a cover of Lesley Gore's 1963 hit You Don't Own Me.
Aguilera wore the same outfit to use her unmistakable four-octave soprano pipes to perform her 2002 raunchy hit Dirrty.
The five-time Grammy winner opened her concert perched on a platform while wearing a towering long red Dawna Oak gown, which cascaded on to the stage while belting her 2010 song Not Myself Tonight.
