Christina Aguilera's annual Halloween party went off without a hitch over the weekend, with the pop star throwing a circus themed bash for its 2026 edition.

On social media, Christina, 45, finally shared a first glimpse of the star-studded affair, with flashing lights, spinning big tops, Halloween pop culture icons made into life-sized figurines (like the corpse bride), creepy clowns, and many more attractions.
Christina, of course, dressed the part, opting for a cinched striped red and white corset with a matching skirt to emulate a circus tent, with heart face make-up in tones of white and pink to give her a more gaunt and gothic look.
The look was topped off with her hair styled in bouncy waves, large puff sleeves and a smaller detachable skirt underneath the bigger hoop, with garters and dangling satin strips to top it all off.
"xtinaween 2026," the singer simply captioned her post with her song "Enter the Circus" soundtracking it, from her 2006 album Back to Basics.

Some of the guests at this year's extravaganza include Paris Hilton, Chappell Roan, mgk, the members of XG, Carmen Electra, Dan Reynolds, Dita von Teese, and Barbie Ferreira.

Speaking of Back to Basics, this August also marked the album's milestone 20th anniversary. Christina celebrated the big day with a tribute post to the album alongside a dedication to those who've continued to listen to the record.
"Twenty years ago I went back to where it all started," she penned. "Back to Basics is a love letter to the singers and sounds that shaped me, and my love for this body of work has only grown over time. I’m so grateful for how you have continued to celebrate this album through the years."

The record received positive reviews, and has become more revered as the years have gone on. It also became her second number one album in the United States, her first since her self-titled debut album in 1999.
