Christina Aguilera looks surprisingly svelte as she poses nude on the cover of W Magazine

Christina Aguilera covers her modesty with a white silk cloth and a bunch of red roses in a sultry cover shoot for W Magazine.

The singer, who has gained a fuller figure in recent months, looks surprisingly svelte posing in all her glory.

A few strokes of the airbrush may well have helped Aguilera achieve her slimmer look, or perhaps helped by good lighting and clever photography.


























































Over the past year, the diva has seen her music career take a nosedive coupled with a series of dramas in her personal life.

But in the accompanying interview, the 30-year-old opens up about her fall from grace and talks about how she is trying to turn things around.

Aguilera, who recently divorced husband Jordan Bratman, is currently one of four mentors on American reality show, The Voice.

But while the show has been received well and marks a turning point in the mother of one's career, it comes following a difficult year for the star.
