Who: Christina Aguilera, aka Xtina.
What: Showing off a new hairstyle at the 40th American Music Awards, and a dress that has left us a little on the fence. On one hand, the dark shading at the waist is flattering on her curves, as is the ruched detailing. But just because you choose to wear purple, does it mean that everything else then has to be purple, too? The matching eyeshadow and clutch bag was just a little too much.
Where: American Music Awards, Nokia Theatre, LA.
Verdict? We're so relieved the pink-tipped hair has gone, we'll forgive the bright matchy-matchy eyeshadow. Just this once...
