Christina Aguilera slipped into an incredible third outfit of the night as she took to the stage for a duet with Christian Nodal at the 23rd Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas‘ Michelob ULTRA Arena on Thursday night.
The 41-year-old performer looked sensational in a skintight latex catsuit that featured a low-cut neckline to showcase her ample cleavage and tiny waist.
The sexy garment was adorned with sequins to add to the glamour, while the blonde bombshell also donned a latex headscarf over her glossy blonde locks.
Earlier in the night, the hitmaker had wowed in a ruffled black gown with an impressive train as she took to the stage to accept the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Aguilera.
She started the evening in a corseted purple gown, hitting the red carpet in style in the dramatic dress that featured voluminous shoulder detailing.
Seemingly inspired by West Side Story, Aguilera and Nodal performed an inspiring version of the Ranchera-style song Cuando Me Dé la Gana in Spanish, beginning on opposite sides of the stage.
