Christina Aguilera Revives 'Dirrty' Era at Portola Festival With Silver Chaps and Leather Bodysuit

The throwback doubles as a renewed assertion of the bodily autonomy she has long tied to her Stripped era.

Overview

  • Aguilera performed at San Francisco’s Portola Festival on Sept. 20, revisiting the visual and musical hallmarks of her early‑2000s breakout.
  • She took the stage in a black leather bodysuit detailed with silver chains, paired with silver chaps, fishnet tights, sunglasses and silver jewelry.
  • The set included “Dirrty” alongside nostalgic hits such as “What a Girl Wants” and “Genie in a Bottle,” according to a concert review.
  • Aguilera has said the original 2002 “Dirrty” chaps were archived and kept in a vault, underscoring the look’s place in her iconography.
  • In recent public remarks, she framed the Stripped period as an empowered claim over her body and voice following backlash to the era’s imagery.
