The first image showed Christina looking confident with one hand on her hip, wearing fingerless gloves, and holding a helmet. She wore a custom football jersey, which had her birth year, 80, displayed in white on the front. The ensemble was decked out specifically for Christina with leather and studs and even her name. Her blonde tresses were in a high ponytail, and she looked ready to go.
The second shot revealed Christina posing at a slightly different angle with her head tilted back, rocking matte lipstick and a lot of sparkles. Christina looked confident as always, and the image certainly left some questions.
A swipe right showed Christina in a dressing room as she looked in a mirror. There was makeup and bottles of Fiji water as Christina prepared for something.
