See Christina Aguilera Recreate Iconic “Dirrty” Look 23 Years Later

“I didn’t even think that there was anything wrong or upsetting or offensive about ‘Dirrty’ whatsoever,” she told Vogue. “I wanted this album to embrace every different part of being a woman—from feeling empowered, and strong, owning my sexuality, and not from what a guy thinks it should be.”

Christina noted how society holds women to certain standards when it comes to their looks.

“There’s such a rule book that we need to look a certain way, on a certain front, act a certain way, be sexy, not too sexy, be a good girl, but not too good, ’cause that’s boring,” she said. “There’s such a rule book that’s handed to us and I was given it since I was very, very little and the older I got, the more I realized, you’re either going to be a part of the problem or you’re gonna stand up against it and create your own story.”
