The singer, 38, was a far cry from the rock chick that exploded onto the music scene with debut single Complicated more than two decades ago.

Gone were the ties over tank tops and baggy jeans, and in their place was a trendy latex outfit.

Avril’s former trademark auburn hair was replaced with super long platinum blonde locks.

She completed the new look with some dramatic eye make up.

Fans rushed to social media to have their say on Avril’s transformation – with many even mistaking her for fellow pop icon Christina Aguilera.

Avril sat next to singer Kesha at the show and one fan wrote: “They were definitely inspired by Christina Aguilera.”
