Rock chick Avril shot to fame in 2002
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.”

Another said: “Avril looks amazing!”

Someone else branded the pair “Xtina’s daughters” and a third added: “Avril’s wig!!!!”

Avril’s 2002 debut solo album Let Go – which also featured the smash hit Sk8er Boi – went on to sell more than 16m copies worldwide making her an instant international star.

Her most recent album – Love Sux – was released last year.
