Christina Aguilera, 44, flashes her underwear beneath a daring black string dress as she leads stars at the Burlesque: The Musical world premiere in London

Christina Aguilera was a vision as she attended the world premiere of Burlesque: The Musical at The Savoy Theatre in London on Tuesday.
The Genie In A Bottle hitmaker, 44, left little to the imagination as she showcased her underwear beneath a daring black string mini dress.
She teamed the striking look with black stockings and elevated her slimmed-down frame with a pair of sleek black heels.
The pop legend completed her head-turning ensemble with silver jewellery and a bold plum lipstick.
Christina posed up a storm on the red carpet before joining producer Steve Antin.
The pair appeared in high spirits as they smiled for photos, with Steve planting a sweet kiss on Christina's cheek.

Also at the starry event was Michael Marouli, Georgina Castle, Stewart F. Lane, Bonnie Comley, Matt Goss, Jess Folley, and Nick Collier.
Following a sold-out run in Manchester, Burlesque The Musical is now playing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited season until 6 September 2025.
Christina swapped the spotlight for a seat in the stalls on Sunday 20 July, when she slipped into London's Savoy Theatre to watch a preview of Burlesque The Musical.
The musical reimagines the 2010 screen hit that first turned her into an on-screen star.
Christina previously displayed her thin appearance and sparked concern among fans who discussed rumours she might have undergone plastic surgery on her face to achieve her transformed appearance.
Her frame has also sparked rumours among fans who wondered if she may have turned to Ozempic-like drugs to help her impressive weight loss.
Despite the speculation among fans that she may have altered her appearance in some way, the Grammy-winning singer–songwriter has not addressed any of the rumours.
She was previously rumoured to have had a breast augmentation after displaying a scar under her arm — which is a common place for the surgical incision — in 2010.
Recently, Christina showed off her age-defying looks on the cover of the French magazine Carcy, which set rumours bubbling from fans who wondered if she had touched up her face.
In October of last year, multiple plastic surgeons who had not treated the songstress spoke to DailyMail.com about her seemingly transformed appearance, suggesting that she may have undergone a face lift to sculpt her cheekbones and smooth the natural lines between her nose and lips.
Other cosmetic surgeons have shared similar opinions about her new appearance on social media.
Although Christina has not directly responded to the claims, she recently said she no longer feels the need to 'give a f***' about the public scrutiny on her body.
Following the speculation, she has since commented on the years-long 'obsession' over her weight in an interview with Glamour from August.
'When you're a teenager, you have a very different body than when you're in your 20s,' she said.
'I started to fill out, and then that was unacceptable because it was like, "Oh, she's getting thicker." Then I had industry people: "They liked your body and how you were as a skinny teenager."'
However, as she has grown older, she revealed that she does not let comments about her weight affect her anymore.
'I have a maturity now where I just don't give a f*** about your opinion. I'm not going to take it on,' she stated.

Video game created to help young people's mental health

Game designers in Cornwall are part of a project to create a "serious" video game to help young people deal with adverse childhood experiences. The Ace of Hearts game deals with issues like bereavement, poverty and substance at the University of Falmouth worked with young people to design the game, which is part of a £35m UK-wide programme looking at the mental health of young of the developers said: "The main purpose of the game is to get people to talk about it afterwards." Ace of Hearts is part of a project called ATTUNE which is using varied arts-based methods, including gaming, to explore young people's experiences and understandings of mental health and the impact of negative 14, who attended a youth mental health event at Falmouth University, said: "I play Roblox and Minecraft with my friends and I play Fortnite with my dad."Some people have a negative view of gaming but that's old fashioned - older people haven't grown up with the games that we have - gaming is a really fun way of unwinding."I definitely think gaming can be used to help, especially when you meet new people. It can be easier to talk to them rather than professionals who you have to wait a long time for." Graham Smith is a software designer who works on the games development course at Falmouth said: "The main purpose of the game is to get people to talk about it afterwards."Mental health is a serious topic and anything you can do to help young people who are suffering is worth it."When you're dealing with mental health a lot of things can be triggering for a lot of people, so you have to be cautious and empathetic in how you deal with the topic."Technology is taking over and you have to go with the mediums that young people are using."It's not Call of Duty, we're here to make serious games with serious messages." 'Use every tool' Psychiatrist Prof Kamaldeep Bhui from Oxford University is one of the principal investigators on the ATTUNE said: "Half of mental illnesses have started by the age of 14 and three quarters by the age of 24 so it's vital we use every tool we can and games are something many young people feel safe using."Games can be a cause of harm or addiction for young people, but we also have to understand that it's a space where young people can be playful and a gaming platform is a place where some people don't feel alone." The ATTUNE project is part of the Adolescence, Mental Health and the Developing Mind Programme, funded by UK Research and Innovation and led by the Medical Research Council with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Economic and Social Research programme runs until 2026 and will explore how mental health needs emerge in young people, what makes some more resilient or vulnerable than others, and how early intervention can help positive mental health and wellbeing.

Vogue readers furious after spotting 'disturbing' AI models in an ad in the prestigious magazine

It looks like fashion label Guess is not shying away from using artificial intelligence in its ad campaigns - after the brand ran a two-page spread in this month's August edition of Vogue that was 'produced' by an AI marketing company. The advertisements appeared about halfway through Vogue's August print issue, showing a woman with bouncy, long blonde hair modeling two different outfits on separate pages. The images were not part of Vogue editorial, but instead, presumably paid advertisements for the Guess brand that appeared in the famous fashion bible. In one ad, the model sat at a café table with a cup of coffee, wearing a light blue romper covered in mesh floral detailing, as well as a gold watch and necklace from the brand. The other photo depicted the same AI model in a black-and-white chevron print dress, carrying a matching Guess handbag in front of a 'shop' filled with hats in their window. In the fine print on the side of the ad, it read that the campaign was produced by 'Seraphinne Vallora on AI.' Seraphinne Vallora is an agency that designs 'editorial level AI-driven marketing campaigns and cinematic videos,' its campaigns featured not only in Vogue but also in Elle and Harper's Bazaar. On its website, London-based founders Valentina and Andreea stated that they wanted to use AI to brands' advantage. 'We want to harness the incredible power of AI to revolutionize marketing images. We realized that AI offered a cost-effective, hassle-free path to design brilliance,' the website reads. 'No more expensive travel or complicated arrangements, We wanted to make it all accessible, to companies of all sizes. 'An easy solution to market their companies without the stress and complications.' Daily Mail reached out to Guess for comment. But the advertisement didn't seem to slip past eagle-eyed fashion fans, as it went viral on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday morning. Popular account Pop Crave posted a TikTok made by user @lala4an, which showed the ad. However, Pop Crave incorrectly claimed that Vogue was using the AI models - when it was in fact Guess. But even so, it looks like many fashion fans weren't happy with the choice, as they furiously responded to the Pop Crave post. 'This is kinda sad. There's so many people who would love to be on the magazine just for them to be giving these opportunities to AI…' one user wrote. Another agreed, 'That's disturbing. This is the direction AI should not be going in... wow.' 'AI is not even sparing the fashion industry,' someone else typed. One X user pointed out, 'Great. The new beauty standard will be, literally, unobtainable because it's not real.' Others, however, thought that it was a great sign for the future. 'The future is here. Takes less time and much cheaper to make,' someone shared. Another agreed, 'Well, it's cheaper.' The advertisement comes just one year after OpenAI and Vogue's publishing parent, Condé Nast, announced a partnership together, per BBC. The deal involved allowing ChatGPT and its search engine, SearchGPT, to display content from Vogue and its other publications like GQ. The deal was reported to be multi-year.
