- [Male] All right, whenever you're ready,
come out and show me.
- Hold on! [laughter]
[hip music]
So we are here in London for Fashion Week, very exciting.
And I'm performing tonight for Gareth Pugh.
He designed me some pieces to wear for the performance.
And I love Gareth so much.
He has done some beautiful work
and some beautiful pieces for my Vegas show
and for my Liberation tour that was last fall, so--
He's just so talented and the shapes and dimensions
he uses to accent my body are some signature Gareths.
There are certain pieces that can come off
and come on and off so detachable pieces
that are always great for a performance.
And you can change up the look
and keep it moving and surprising.
Mary's the make-up artist.
And Peter who's hiding behind the camera.
Peter Savic is coming to do hair.
You want to say hello, Peter?
[murmurs] [laughs]
- My name is Peter Savic.
I am Christina's hair stylist.
I started to work with Christina on the video, "Dirty."
And then I colored her hair dark, I cut her hair shorter.
I did it all.
I did so many iconic videos.
What inspires me?
Everything, because she's a chameleon.
You can do anything with Christina.
- I'm Karen Clarkson.
I am Christina's stylist.
I've been working with her for nearly two years now.
So, tonight.
The arrival look.
Christina's gonna wear this red, metallic trench coat.
And it's really a signature style for Gareth.
Underneath, there's gonna be kind of--
Just thigh-high boots!
Also, every performance she ever does,
Christina always wears X pasties as well.
Just to make sure that if there's any slips,
she's fully covered.
I also, it's just like, total Xtina vibe--
White stole.
That's gonna be her little Marilyn moment on stage.
Right after tonight's looks,
we're gonna go into fashion week looks.
My favorite hat of the moment.
It's a very Christina thing to take risks,
to throw caution to the wind and make a statement.
- I said, "I want drama!
I want something that's gonna show up on stage
and be an interesting spectacle."
So it feels like you went with a cat eye.
Almost mask-like.
And blue, which is super fun.
I tend to--
I'm a very aggressive performer.
And sometimes, it's all in my shoulders, my neck.
[sighs]
- [Peter] Can I have a look?
- You think that's enough?
[singing]
You can curl.
[doors banging]
[yells]
Now you made me laugh!
[laughs]
You want to do it again?
Final look!
Ready to work.
[piano hiphop music]
- Hi, my name's Gareth Pugh.
Christina has been a huge supporter
of my work, through her last album, "Liberation."
We like a strong silhouette and I think
it's something that really responds
to Christina and the frame of mind she's in
and the kind of songs she sings.
I think it's something that really melds
and gels together. - What I'm saying?
- Yes.
- [Man] Yep, they're behind us [unintelligible]
- [Man] Christina, here for a minute?
[singing]
♪ And to the left and right. ♪
- Yes, there's absolutely nerves before a show.
It's part of the adrenaline rush
and it's just part of being a performer.
I mean, it's real! - [Man] It's real!
- This is real shit!
So this is the opening Gareth Pugh look.
All red, sort of vampy, throwback to Marilyn
with a modern twist.
And take on it, the skirt opens, it reveals--
Oh, we have to shift.
Last minute adjustments!
So once the skirt comes off--
This little vampy number.
[kisses]
- I had to come out here tonight
and do this for my dear friend Gareth!
