Selena Gomez and I had the same reaction to a recent picture of Selena Gomez: “More people need to see this.”
Currently in Paris to watch tennis with her most “Of course they watch tennis” friends, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham, Gomez stepped out in a Marc Jacobs corset top and cropped jacket, with silver Mejuri earrings and her long hair styled super straight. She proved the smoky eye isn’t dead, and she also just looked really…powerful. Her power was heaving, you might say.
Her suit, which she wore to dinner at a luxury hotel, was adorned with a wide silver buckle. As a fashion enthusiast who writes about celebrity style all week long, I would describe this picture with three words: SHE LOOK GOOD. The folks on Twxtter agree, though all their comments were too inappropriate to include here. Is the picture edited? Hard to say. It’s not a fan edit, but celebs like the Kardashians retouch their pap shots. Whatever the process, the end result is…well, it’s mother is what it is.
Gomez, too, thought everyone should really see this picture, and posted it to her Instagram Stories, along with a selfie she took just after getting glammed up:
This is the second time in the span of a few days that the singer-actor-producer has participated in the sexy corporate-core trend by styling a cinched corset under a boxy, oversize blazer. With the help of her stylist, Erin Walsh, she’s also embraced the no-pants look, wearing just a pressed button-down shirt and over-the-knee boots earlier in the week.
If you’ve been listening to her latest song, “Single Soon” (I have—it’s a bop), you know that the Only Murders in the Building star is in her Flirtin’ Around Town era, and what an era it may yet be! Her bestie Taylor’s with Travis Kelce; Swift enemy Kim is “talking to” Odell Beckham, Jr…is there an NFL player for Sel?
Oh, and all this reminds me, are we all doing our self-exams in the shower? Here’s a handy guide. Health is so sexy.
