She seems to be relishing her role as a mentor and judge on hit TV talent contest The Voice.

But it seems Christina Aguilera is going a little bit further than just singing advice when it comes to influencing her young charges.

Finalists and 'Team Christina' members Raquel Castro and Lily Allise arrived at an event in Los Angeles today dressed remarkably similar to their mentor, who was wearing a black and white leopardskin print shirt and short black miniskirt.

The wannabes were clearly taking a leaf out of Christina's style book with their outfits, with finalist Raquel Castro wore an animal print minidress with black peep toe heels similar to the 30-year-old singer.

And singing wannabe Lily Allise wore a near-identical leopardskin top, teaming it with skin tight black trousers and lace up shoes.

The finalists were there to watch Christina tape a segment for U.S. entertainment show Extra where she judged a singing contest with the winner awarded tickets to a taping of The Voice.

The talent contest is entering its final stages, with Raquel and Lily set to compete in the Live Show rounds next week.
Christina clearly faced a dilemma on last week's show when she had to choose between Lily and contestant Cherie Oakley to join her final four.
'I'm not looking for perfection,' she said. 'I'm looking for passion and emotion.
'It's going to be really hard for me to send one of my babies home. It's so hard. My two angels,' she added, before selecting Lily

However she looked markedly cheerful today as she interacted with the crowd, joking and pulling some dramatic faces and at one point posing for a photo with the event's host Mario Lopez.
She was accompanied by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, who escorted her by the arm into her waiting car after the event.
The final 16 contestants on the NBC talent show will begin the live rounds stage of the competition next week.
