Reality TV star Tom Sandoval recently made waves by recreating Christina Aguilera's iconic 2002 Rolling Stone cover for designer Michael Ngo's new fashion campaign. Sandoval posed shirtless in black latex pants and biker boots, holding a guitar on a faux magazine cover reminiscent of Aguilera's famous shot. The photos, shared on Instagram, showcased Sandoval's edgy look with heavy black eyeliner and slicked-back hair.
The campaign, titled 'Anima Reloaded,' aimed to reimagine 2000s pop culture icons, with Sandoval embodying the spirit of a rockstar. Ngo, the designer, praised Sandoval for his support and friendship, thanking him for being part of the creative project.
In an Instagram Reel shared by Ngo, Sandoval was seen in full rock star mode, donning a studded black leather jacket and pants with flames. The video captured Sandoval's energetic performance, including scenes of him screaming into a microphone and showcasing his shirtless look from the magazine cover.
While some fashion fans questioned Ngo's choice of Sandoval as the campaign star, others expressed support for the reality TV personality. Comments ranged from admiration for Sandoval's portrayal of a rockstar to critiques comparing the campaign to the movie 'Zoolander.'
Meanwhile, Sandoval's girlfriend, Ariana Madix, has been making headlines of her own, recently purchasing a $1.6 million home in Los Angeles and moving out of the house she shared with Sandoval. The couple's relationship has faced scrutiny in the past, including reports of Sandoval cheating on Madix with another 'Vanderpump Rules' star.
