Christina Aguilera has us seeing double!

To celebrate the West End premiere of Burlesque: The Musical at London's Savoy Theatre, the multi-hyphenate, 44, attended a photocall for the show on Monday, July 21, wearing a gothic glam look she had previously worn 22 years ago.

The singer dressed for the occasion in a green Versace dress from the Italian fashion house's fall 2003 collection. Aguilera served as the model for the look back then, posing bare-faced for a campaign shot by famed photographer Steven Meisel.

In 2003, Donatella Versace, who stepped down as Versace's creative director after nearly 30 years to become its global ambassador in March, opened up about what it meant to have Aguilera be the face of a campaign for the brand.

“I watch the videos of Christina and I always die. She is a great dancer, a great singer, her voice is amazing. I always hoped I could do something with her, but I wanted to be friends first, that is the most important thing for me," Versace said at the time, per Billboard.

This time around, Aguilera put a sexy, rocker spin on the famed corset lace number, wearing her long, straight platinum blonde hair gently pushed back as it fell over the dress's sweetheart neckline.

Aguilera paired the asymmetrical design with black knee-high boots that matched her dark lipstick and eye makeup. That same year, she also wore Versace to the MTV Europe Awards.

The performer's iconic green Versace dress has been a favorite of many, including Beyoncé, who wore it to the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. Rita Ora wore it to a 2020 New Year's party and Iris Law wore it to a London Fashion Week Party in 2022. Bella Hadid also wore it to a 2022 event.

Christina Aguilera in 'Burlesque'

It's no surprise that Aguilera was supporting Burlesque: The Musical as she famously starred in the 2010 film version, Burlesque.

In it, she plays Ali, an aspiring singer who moves to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams and begins working at a burlesque lounge run by Tess (played by Cher).

This time around, Aguilera is executive producing the stage musical, alongside producers Adam Paulden and Jason Haigh-Ellery, Sue Gilad and Larry Rogowsky, Steven Antin and Clint Culpepper. Some of Aguilera's tunes from the movie are also part of the musical.
