Christina Aguilera circled back to her Dirrty days over the weekend, putting on a raunchy performance for LA Pride complete with a wardrobe of eye-popping outfits.

It included, of course, a take on her iconic chaps from the 2002 music video for Dirrty.

But, upping the ante two decades later, it was a neon green and black look that featured the most risqué detail, with the singer donning a sparkly green strap-on as she performed.

With it, she wore black latex gloves, a popped collar and a mind-bending green corset designed to give the illusion of a masculine torso.

Clearly enjoying herself, the superstar teased the crowd as she posed with the sex toy, poking her tongue out and thrusting her hips forward.

The superstar headlined the Pride event at the Los Angeles State Historic Park on Saturday, with help from fellow stars Paris Hilton and Mya, who joined the former Voice coach for a rendition of Moulin Rouge hit Lady Marmalade.

Hilton, who had been one of the few guests at Britney Spears’ wedding days earlier, featured on the decks during X-Tina’s set, spinning Britney’s Toxic for the crowd.

The reality star and heiress ended her appearance with a surprise on the mic, performing Stars Are Blind, which she also reportedly busted out at Britney’s wedding last Thursday night.

Aguilera rounded out the set draped in the rainbow colours of the Pride flag to sing Beautiful, which has become an anthem for the LGBTQ community over the years.

“Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for having me tonight. I’m so honoured and so grateful,” she gushed to the crowd.

“And thank you for your love and support over the last 20-plus years. You’re my family. I’m so happy to always give a voice or try to [give one to] anyone that feels like they’re suppressed or outcast,” she said.

“That’s what I’ve always tried to bring [with my music]. I’m so proud to call you my family … you are a part of me, and I’m so happy to bring this to you … We wanted to give you such a great time tonight.”

Aguilera told People last week she was “proud” of the way Beautiful had such an impact on people.

“I was proud to put a spotlight on the LGBTQ+ community with my Beautiful music video, which features a gay couple, as well as a trans woman. I wasn’t thinking too much about it beyond wanting to show people owning who they are,” she said.

“It was somehow taboo at the time, but it represented something so true. I still hear stories about how that video has helped people, and it means everything to me.”
