Since 2007, Selena Gomez has provided “looks for later” inspiration in the form of magazine cut-outs pinned to mood boards long before a “save” button. We have watched her develop into a music icon, silver screen star and producer, entrepreneur, and a bright young woman full of grace, limitless talent, and multifaceted beauty, both inside and out. She may have only been a tiny 15-year-old on Wizards of Waverly at the time, but she quickly blossomed into the teen queen of Disney Channel.
Before the release of our July/August “Breath” issue, in which Gomez discusses rare beauty, the art of self-love, and de-stigmatizing mental health, let’s take a look back at some of her most acclaimed and “save”-worthy beauty moments. Here are 4 of Selena Gomez’s best beauty looks; wonderful hair and makeup creations from the singer herself, as well as her go-to glam squad of make-up artist Hung Vanngo and hairstylist Marissa Marino. They range from beachy waves and her characteristic cat-eye to kaleidoscope eyeshadow and shaggy bangs.
December 2022
Selena Gomez attended Variety’s 2022 Hitmakers Brunch at City Market Social House, where she was honored for her brand-new Apple TV+ documentary, My Mind & Me, with the Film Song of the Year award. The singer/actor donned a Totême sleeveless black velvet dress, which was traditionally stylish. She accessorized with easy vinyl slides that matched the fluted midi-length hemline. Gomez chose smokey eyelids, a light pink lip, and a rainbow manicure to add flashes of color.
February 2021
Gomez was photographed in her snow-resistant outfit in NYC while filming Only Murders in the Building. Although the foundation of this outfit recipe is rather straightforward, Selena enhanced it with some winter embellishments. She layered a statement teddy bear maxi coat, her go-to gold hoops, and a long coat in leopard print over her all-back base of jeans and a turtleneck. The white Dr. Martens Sinclair boots, however, were unquestionably the star of her ensemble.
July 2022
Selena Gomez exuded professional chic at the premiere party for Rare Beauty’s matte lipsticks and lip liners in Santa Monica. She accessorized her directional Alexander McQueen dress with lovely lace splices and timeless heeled sandals. With sleek, straight hair and cat eyeliner for an extra edge, Gomez enhanced the crisp fitted lines of her appearance. Her cherry lipstick also stood out against her all-black outfit.
February 2020
Only Selena and her makeup artists are aware of the covert makeup colors she wore with this lovely pink dress in advance of the Rare Beauty debut. Her curtain bangs and very messy updo, which was the ideal combination of sweet and seductive, highlighted her lovely lashes and deep matte terracotta pout.
June 2022
Selena Gomez appeared in a white semi-sheer Prada shirt dress while promoting her popular Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. Her outfit for the red carpet was loosely fitted and tightened around the waist with a corset. She added metallic strappy shoes to accentuate the mini-length silhouette. She also wore bold lipstick, and the event was hosted at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles.
