Christina Aguilera is all thigh-highs, unbuttoned, and pantless to celebrate International Women's Day. The 40-year-old singing superstar dropped her Monday Instagram update right on time for a calendar date being marked by everyone from Kelly Ripa to Jessica Simpson – joining them, the "Stripped" songstress updated for her 7.4 million followers and with one heck of a post. Xtina, who went as far as to shout out U.S. VP Kamala Harris' famous "I'm speaking" moment last year, also included her killer body and no pants. Check it out below.

Scroll for the pantless action. Xtina, who defined a generation with "Beautiful" as she ushered in an era of self-acceptance, had updated with a buffet of photos and videos. The Grammy winner opened with a no-pants stage shot, all queen of her crown on raised steps and with backing dancers, quickly moving onto a scene from 2002 hit "Fighter."
Then came Kamala Harris' moment: Aguilera included a gif of Harris with her "I'm speaking" words. Xtina then dropped stomping thigh-highs boots action in an unbuttoned leather coat.

Aguilera, who rocked her high blonde ponytail in her stage throwback and threw out dominatrix vibes, killer thighs, and her power vocals, also seemed to have picked the perfect song for International Women's Day. "Can't Hold Us Down" was, of course, a video seeing Aguilera objectified on city streets and singing about holding her own amid a world of disrespect and gender discrimination.
"#InternationalWomensDay mood board ❤️ shout out to all women today and EVERY DAY. Our power is limitless ?," the caption read. See the pool action after the video.
Aguilera is no stranger to leading the way when it comes to empowerment. The "Lotus" singer made headlines in 2019 for receiving the Equality Award for LGBTQ Advocacy where she aired her own thoughts.
"What I realize is that I would not have had the power to be where I am today without the return acceptance from those who, like myself, were labeled as 'other,'" Xtina said, adding: “While these social relationships leave me satisfied and fulfilled, I can't help but acknowledge the struggle to get where we are today."

Aguilera made headlines for turning 40 last year and strutting her stuff in a tight bodysuit to Megan Thee Stallion's "Body." Self-acceptance was all over the blonde bombshell's birthday letter, with the "Genie In A Bottle" hit-maker writing:
"Dear 40, What a beautiful concept... to not only be 'turning' 40, but to be ARRIVING at 40!" and adding: "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."
