In June 2016, Love Don’t Cost a Thing actress Christina Milian made sure all eyes were on her when she stepped out to attend the Maybelline New York beauty bash held at The Line Hotel in Los Angeles.

Thirteen years earlier, she made her film debut as popular cheerleader Paris Morgan in the 2003 American teen comedy film Love Don’t Cost a Thing (stylized as Love Don’t Co$t a Thing). Nick Cannon, who’s a year older than Christina Milian, starred as her boyfriend, Alvin “Al” Johnson.

A remake of Patrick Dempsey’s 1987 film Can’t Buy Me Love, it was released on December 12, 2003, when she was 22 years old.

In the movie, Christina Milian wears a Virgo necklace despite being a Libra in real life. She celebrated her 22nd birthday on September 26, 2003.

For the Maybelline New York LA Beauty Bash, the then-34-year-old singer couldn’t be missed as she posed up a storm on the pink carpet in a vibrant red three-piece ensemble.

The Cuban actress was sizzling hot in a crop top and embellished lace high-waisted pants that displayed her toned abs.

She finished her look off with a matching open-front cardigan by Stello Yamashiro.

The When You Look at Me singer allowed her scarlet separates to do the talking. She kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing only a pair of diamond stud earrings, a ring, and a gold clutch.

She slicked her hair back into a high ponytail and accentuated her features with simple neutral makeup.
