Balmain took to Instagram to spotlight Aguilera's head-turning appearance, sharing two captivating photos of the singer from the event.
Alongside the post, the fashion house captioned, "CHRISTINA AGUILERA The iconic @xtina attended the @joyawards red carpet in Riyadh."
Social media erupted with commentary after photos of Aguilera at the event began circulating online. Fans and critics alike shared their unfiltered opinions, with many marveling at her transformation and others expressing mixed feelings about her look.

"Looking good she loss [sic] a lot of weight," observed a fan, while another swooned over how fit Aguilera appeared. Jumping on the praise bandwagon, a fellow admirer complimented, "She's so slim and looks amazing 🔥."
Others made neutral remarks about Aguilera's appearance, with a netizen opining, "She look like she is in her 20- [sic]." Someone else echoed a similar sentiment, "She's aging backwards [sic]," while another commenter marveled, "Didn't even recognize her!😮."

On the other hand, some users voiced dissatisfaction with Aguilera's style and overall appearance. "Looks so... soulless. And the sunglasses just make it worse," remarked one critic.
Another commented, "Her style really hasn't changed in the last 20+ years. Please get rid of the overly bleached hair, circa 2008 clothing and [sic] too-heavy makeup."

More scathing opinions followed, with yet another person expressing, "I hate everything about this. The brittle blonde. The overlined lips. The accessories. The outfit. The bad tan. The lack of tailoring…"
Another pointed critique came from someone who questioned, "Is that a skirt printed to look like a different skirt? Also, I would never have guessed that's Christina Aguilera in a million years."

Regardless of the divided social media opinions, Aguilera's presence at the event added to the star-studded vibe of the prestigious affair.
Known as a celebration of joy and entertainment, the Joy Awards shines a spotlight on an array of influential figures, including music stars, cinema icons, accomplished athletes, and other individuals who are making a meaningful and positive impact on people's lives.
The event honors excellence across various categories, such as Personality of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Joy Honorary, Diamond Entertainment Industry, and Winners.
Over the years, A-list celebrities have won awards like the Personality of the Year title, including Eva Longoria in 2024, Sofia Vergara in 2023, and Salman Khan in 2022.
Joining Aguilera at the prestigious affair was her partner, Matthew Rutler. Rutler complemented Aguilera's show-stopping look by donning a classic suit that exuded sophistication. Together, the pair made a striking duo at the event.

The pair's love story traces back to the set of "Burlesque" in November 2009, where Aguilera and Rutler first crossed paths. In October of the following year (2010), Aguilera filed for divorce from her first husband, Jordan Bratman.

During a past interview, the singer opened up about the budding connection she and Rutler shared during the filming process.
"Matthew is a special person. We had a really strong friendship on [sic] the movie. He's the kind of person you could spend hours on the phone talking to, and all of a sudden it's daylight," divulged Aguilera.

Despite their instant bond, Aguilera shared that she approached the relationship with caution, mindful of her recent separation. "I'm not trying to jump into anything. I just left a five-year marriage. I'm taking it slow and trying to be happy," explained the artist at the time.

Sometime after Aguilera's past reflections, Rutler decided to pop the question. On February 15, 2014, the entertainer delighted fans with the announcement of their engagement.
She took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the joyous news by posting a heartwarming photo of their hands intertwined, showing off her stunning engagement ring against a beach background.
In the same year that Rutler popped the question, he and Aguilera welcomed a baby girl. Announcing the exciting news to her fans on X, the artist revealed, "So proud to welcome our beautiful daughter Summer Rain Rutler into the world."

Although they got engaged several years ago, the couple has felt no urgency to walk down the aisle. In 2015, Aguilera opened up to People about their decision to pace themselves.
"Having just moved into a beautiful new home we call 'the Sanctuary,' having a baby, and now being so excited to get back to work [on 'The Voice'], I have my hands full, and am not in a rush to set a date," shared Christina Aguilera.
