Christina Aguilera is in the pink with Christian Louboutin Shoes at Berlin premiere of Burlesque
Christina Aguilera and Cher have been posing in a variety of revealing, designer dresses as they promote their new movie Burlesque around the world.
But after wearing a lingerie-style dress at the London premiere earlier this week, it looked like Cher couldn’t be bothered to make an effort at the Berlin screening tonight.
While Aguilera looked freezing in the snow and -3C in a flowing pink halterneck dress with Christian Louboutin shoes, her 64-year-old co-star turned up in a leather jacket, plain black trousers and a white scarf.

As the snow fell down outside the Cinestar Cinema in the German capital, pop star Aguilera, 29, threw off her warm black coat so she could show off her flowing pink dress for the paparazzi.
But the wind was so strong, at one point she ended up covering Cher’s casual outfit with her billowing chiffon layers.
Summery dress aside, Aguilera was also showing off a new hairstyle – Heidi-style plaits across her head.

Cher’s ensemble came as a surprise after the risque outfits she has been wearing at Burlesque premieres in London, Los Angeles and Madrid.
But after seeing the weather forecast for snow in Berlin, perhaps Cher decided she’d rather be warm than glamorous.
The pair were joined by co-stars Kristen Bell – who briefly removed her black coat to show off her glitzy blue dress underneath – and Cam Gigandet, who had also wrapped up for the cold weather.
After the film was mauled by critics, the movie’s stars have been throwing themselves into the publicity campaign, attending junkets and premieres across Europe, Japan and North America.

Empire magazine critic Helen O’Hara hailed the script as ‘pretty awful’, describing the film as ‘intentionally or not, it might be the comedy of the year’.
Total Film’s Jane Crowther also embraced the comedic elements of Burlesque, despite its ‘threadbare’ plot.
She wrote: ‘Like the love-child of Coyote Ugly and Showgirls – and led astray by Chicago – Burlesque is an unashamed theatrical artifice proudly wearing its camp heart on its sequinned sleeve.’

The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis said: ‘Ms Aguilera doesn’t have much time to embarrass herself.
‘She’s a serviceable screen presence who has a voice and an occasional song big enough to keep her from sliding off screen.
‘It’s a dutiful, stolid performance in a movie that quickly proves achingly dull…’
Burlesque is due for release in UK cinemas on December 17.
