This year's Grammy Awards just got a major dose of dirrty. Christina Aguilera, presented the award for Best Musica Ubana Album tonight at the 66th annual show, stepped onto the stage alongside Maluma wearing a long-sleeved gown in the perfect shade of genie-inspired blue (thanks, Disney!). The gown featured a high neckline and floor-grazing hem that turned into a tiny train. The soft look is a switch-up for the diva, who is known for embracing skin-baring looks, latex, and corsets (usually all at once). The gown also featured a gathered, draped detail at the hip. She wore her signature icy blonde hair straight and pushed back and accessorized with show stopping diamond earrings.

Aguilera's no stranger to the biggest night in music. In fact, some of her most memorable outfits have come from the Grammys, including a shimmering silver Versace number that's been remixed and re-worn by some of music's biggest names, including Dua Lipa. Other memorable looks included her 2004 plunging gown, when she was deep in her "Beautiful" era with dark hair, and more recently, a statement-making purple dress with over-the-top sleeves at the 2022 Latin Grammys.

Aguilera has been nominated for a total of 21 Grammy Awards and has won five. She took home her first in 2000, nearly 25 years ago, for Best New Artist. It coincided with her debut album, Christina Aguilera. Last year, she was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album with Aguilera, her second Spanish-language release after Mi Reflejo. That album earned her the Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album and two Billboard Latin Music Awards. 20 years later, she would win a Latin Grammy for Aguilera.
"This is so important to me, and it's been amazing to come back to this home," she said as she accepted her award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. "The fans, the Fighters, thank you so much! We've been on this journey for so long, so I couldn't thank you more."
That year, she earned seven nominations in total — including Album Of The Year and Record and Song Of The Year for "Pa Mis Muchachas."
