Ain't no other man for Christina Aguilera!

Over the weekend, the "Genie In a Bottle" singer stepped out with fiancé Matthew Rutler for the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica.

And not only was it date night for the two, but a chance for the Burlesque actress to show off her new look.

For the special night out, Christina wore a form-fitting Salih Balta black gown, which featured a leather bodice with thin, off-the-shoulder straps, and a ruched sheer skirt.

Most eye-catching of all however was her jewelry and hair: she had a large diamond pendant necklace with a large center stone resting on her décolletage, and a swooped-in blonde bob with extra-short bangs.

Soon as pictures from her look hit social media, fans were quick to gush over it, with one writing on Instagram: "The bombshell," alongside a fire emoji, as another also shared: "This version of Christina Aguilera is looking great."

It was a star-studded event, with Salma Hayek, Gal Gadot, Olivia Wilde, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Williams, Zoe Saldaña, Lily Collins, Chrissy Teigen, Katherine McPhee, Gigi Hadid, Maria Sharapova, and Behati Prinsloo, among others, also in attendance.

Christina last released music in 2022 when she put out her first Spanish-speaking album AGUILERA, which honored her Latin American roots; her father, Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, was from Ecuador.

Speaking on The Jennifer Hudson Show last year, she said of where she stands with her music career today: "It's been, you know, I do take a minute. But it's to really be thoughtful with what I put out. I'm not someone that's just like, 'Oh, let me just keep pumping it out.' Integrity really matters to me."

"I'm a message girl, and I really like to absorb what's happening in the world, things that are really moving me and affecting people, to really put thought into it," she further told host Jennifer Hudson.

She also opened up about a forthcoming documentary about her career trajectory, revealing: "It's going to be a really personal project coming up. It'll tie in with a very personal documentary that we've been filming for the last few years."

Christina and her fiancé Matthew have been together since meeting in 2010 on the set of Burlesque, for which he worked as a production assistant. They have been engaged since 2014 and they share daughter Summer, 11, plus Christina also shares son Max Liron Bratman, with ex-husband Jordan Bratman, to whom she was married from 2005 to 2011.
