Christina Aguilera has ditched makeup and hair extensions for the cover of Paper magazine.
In the magazine’s May issue, the singer looked practically unrecognisable as she posed for close-up snaps.
For the cover shot, the 37-year-old held her hand up to naked lips, showing off a ring that says ‘MOM’ on it, paying homage to her two children Max (10) and Summer (3).
“I’ve always been someone that obviously loves to experiment, loves theatrics, loves to create a storyline and play a character in a video or through stage,” the blonde beauty said in her cover interview.
“I’m a performer, that’s who I am by nature. But I’m at the place, even musically, where it’s a liberating feeling to be able to strip it all back and appreciate who you are and your raw beauty.”
Christina’s photos were shot by Zoey Grossman.
The songstress rose to fame back in the 1990s, thanks to her first smash hit single Genie In A Bottle.
Christina has enjoyed a hugely successful music career since, and has since appeared as a judge on The Voice, and most recently acted as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
This year, Christina also has has two new movies coming out – Zoe, in which she plays a robot, and comedy Life of the Party, in which she plays herself.
