7. Christina Aguilera
When Christina Aguilera released “Genie in a Bottle” back in 1999, she was a tiny, 5’2″ songstress who captured the world by storm. Due to her growing popularity, Aguilera received pressure from record company executives to maintain her image. To them, that imagine equated to Aguilera staying a certain weight.
The singer has revealed that after her first album was released, she gained 15 pounds, and her record company wasn’t happy about it at all. That tried to fat shame her by saying people at the company would lose their jobs because of her weight gain. Instead of buckling under pressure, Aguilera owned her curves, and she refused to let outsiders dictate her appearance.
Now a mother of two, Aguilera’s body has filled out, and she’s no longer the frail teenager that we once knew. She is comfortable in her own skin, and why shouldn’t she be? She looks amazing!
