For months, Christina Aguillera has been tabloid fodder for her curvier figure and apparent obstinacy in dressing for her size. These days, though, she’s showing haters what they can do with all the nasty things they’ve been saying about her.

The other night at the Time 100 Gala in New York, Christina looked positively flawless on the red carpet, as various media outlets, including OMG Yahoo!, point out.

She also performed and changed into a suit and hat combo that was both flattering and extremely elegant.

However, for the red carpet, she chose a black maxi dress and plenty of diamonds to go with it.

“Christina Aguilera stole the spotlight at Tuesday evening's star-studded Time 100 Gala at New York City's famed Lincoln Center. Before taking the stage to perform alongside fellow musician Miguel, the ‘Beautiful’ songstress showed off her slimmed-down shape in a black, body-con gown, courtesy of Victoria Beckham,” OMG writes.

“Side-swept tresses, signature red lipstick, and millions in Lorraine Schwartz jewels completed Xtina's divalicious red carpet comeback,” adds the same media outlet.

Indeed, the singer has lost some weight, as we also noted on a previous occasion.

She’s yet to speak about it publicly, but sources close to her claim that she’s not on a diet in the sense of depriving herself, but rather on a health kick.

Christina is out of The Voice for now and back on the studio to work on a new album. Without having to be there for the NBC hit show, she’s had more time to take better care of herself.

“It's amazing what having some personal time can do, not only for the body but also for the mind and the spirit,” an insider revealed a while back.

“She has been trying new types of foods and exploring new methods of exercise. Not for diet or weight, but more for her mind and wellbeing and overall sense of good health,” added the tipster.
