Christina Aguilera drew renewed attention in Monaco on 18 September after attending the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation's 20th-anniversary gala at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Social media discussion about the singer's appearance followed the event, including unsupported speculation about cosmetic procedures and weight-loss medication.
Aguilera was among the performers at the anniversary gala, held at the Salle Garnier. The event marked two decades of the foundation's environmental work and also featured performances by Plácido Domingo and Sister Sledge.
