On Saturday, December 18, Christina Aguilera turned 41 years old, and to celebrate the occasion she wore nothing but her birthday suit— well except for a pair of sexy leather gloves

Seen in a gallery of images she posted and captioned "XTINA XLI,” referencing her new age with a Roman numeral. The “Genie in a Bottle” singer posed topless in front of a silver satin curtain, with her strategically placed platinum blonde hair and opera-length gloved arms covering her chest. Donning a pair of oversized square-shaped sunglasses in a few of the pics.

As for the glam, Christina threw it back to the '90s with dark lipliner and nude lipstick, topped of course with gloss, which she paired with light pearly eyeshadow.

Last year, for the big 4-0, Aguilera also opted for a leather look during her 40th birthday photoshoot, but just a bit more of it. Last year’s look consisted of a plunging black leather blazer with matching pants and a booty-length braid. "Arriving at 40," she captioned both of her birthday posts, one of which included a personal letter that addressed her new age.

"Dear 40, What a beautiful concept… to not only be 'turning' 40, but to be ARRIVING at 40!" she wrote. "This ever-present social stigma exists around getting older, but I have ALWAYS embraced it! … I've heard it said that some of your best life is lived in your 40's. You stop giving a f*** about all the bulls***… clarity comes over you, and a new intention sets in with every move you make. I truly believe the best is yet to come and I am READY for it."
