Selena Gomez has been in the public eye since her acting debut in 2002 – almost 20 years ago. Now at 30 years old, the singer has transformed from a child Disney star to a globally renowned actress, singer and entrepreneur, having founded her very own makeup line, Rare Beauty in 2019. With 426 million Instagram followers (the 4th most followed person on the app), Selena Gomez has been a fashion inspiration both on and off the red carpet since her youth, as we’ve all watched along and witnessed her style journey and epic transformation. From the long layered tank tops, waistcoats and chunky red scarfs of her tween years to sleek gowns, matching two-pieces and chic, oversized coats, the star has come into her own with unapologetic confidence.
Gomez actively promotes body positivity and mental health awareness through a variety of mediums, most notably her makeup line Rare Beauty, and recent partnership with La’Mariette. Launched on September 3rd, 2020, Rare Beauty’s mission is to celebrate individuality, based on who you are and not how you look, promoting the idea of self-love and acceptance. True to their mission, Rare Beautiful donates 1% of all sales to the Rare Impact Fund that increases access to mental health education and offers 48 shades of their Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation to encourage inclusivity.

In an Instagram post in September 2020, Selena revealed a surgery scar as she detailed her journey to body acceptance. The baby blue one piece swimsuit she wore is by inclusive swimwear brand La’Mariette launched by her friends whom she recently collaborated with. Selena’s collection includes pieces in her “Aura” print – purple with orange accents. The collection and the brand celebrate body positivity and truly inclusive swimsuits for everyone, while the collaboration perfectly sums up her confident, authentic self, and radiant energy.

In 2023, Selena spent two months residing in Paris for the filming of the musical crime comedy, Emilia Perez. Her time in the city of love was wrapped up on June 23 with an Instagram post that has now accumulated over 7.2 million likes, to which she attached the heartfelt caption: “Thank you Paris for being a home to me for two months!”. The 30 year-old star can be seen to embrace the casual French street style, donning a cropped white poplin shirt and light wash jeans, paired with large gold hoops, a smooth leather YSL shoulder bag, and her hair slicked back into a neat ponytail. In a later slide, we see Selena all glammed up for a night out, elegantly flaunting a short-sleeved Christian Dior crewneck knit sweater and a matching pleated tulle midi skirt, and clearly channeling her inner ballerina.
