How To Steal Selena Gomez’s Signature Style

While the last few years of Selena’s career have been focused on removing mental health stigmas and launching her new beauty line, she recently starred in a Hulu series Only Murders in the Building. The show just wrapped its second season, and her character Mabel has many great outfits throughout the series. Representative of Selena’s colorful style, her character is commonly seen in bright yellows and fun patterns. 

One thing I appreciate most about Selena is that she doesn’t bare it all for the camera. Unlike other A-list celebs, most of her photos don’t reveal a ton of skin, and she focuses her influence on making an impact instead. She’s open about her struggles with mental health and has become a voice for mental health awareness in celebrity circles. Selena’s sense of self is seen on and off camera. 

Her social media pages don’t have the typical glossed-over celebrity look, where all the photos perfectly follow the same aesthetic. Her Instagram page is authentic and colorful, and focuses primarily on the parts of her life that matter most: her business and her work with mental health awareness. 

Now that we've covered all the reasons why we love our girl Selena Gomez, let's get into some beauty and style tips from the queen herself!

Hair Speaks Volumes 

Quite literally, Selena’s hair has been a defining feature of her style and celebrity presence for the majority of her career. Her signature short bob haircut was, and still is, a very popular cut for Selena, as well as many of her fans. Whether it is straight or curly, she manages to maintain plenty of volume and shine. 

A Bold Lip Never Hurt Anybody

Selena’s cosmetic brand Rare Beauty does extremely well on the global scale, and is a top competitor with well-known brands like Tarte or Glossier. The focus is clean formulas and fun shades that excite the makeup enthusiast as well as the beginner (go Selena!). Rare Beauty has tons of colors, including just as many bright shades as neutrals, which she demonstrates on and off the red carpet. As she has proven time and time again, a bold lip color can take a look from a 9 to a 10! Bright red shades, as well as pinks and even purple hues, look great with her facial features and short hair. 

The ‘90s Are Back

As you may have heard, the ‘90s are making a comeback, and Selena Gomez definitely got the memo. Her casual style is a strong mix of feminine frills and ‘90s grunge (we love a woman with range). She stuns in florals and ruffles, and is full of glam, but also looks fantastic with black monochrome looks and sneakers. Simple tanks, oversized hoodies, and sneakers are staples for an off-duty model look!

Color Is a Good Idea

Yes, neutrals have their place in a capsule wardrobe and a variety of trendy aesthetics. But Selena demonstrates that a pop of color can be just as classy as your favorite neutral. Just look at her in red! Find a bright shade that flatters your skin tone and wear it confidently in both formal and casual settings. 

Patterns Are Basics

Patterns are a fun way to spice up your look, and Selena wears pretty floral patterns as basics in her closet. You’ll notice a common thread of red floral patterns that contrast a black and white look all throughout her casual and formal looks, like her stunning dress for the Revelación album cover. 

One idea is to find a color you love, like red, and then find patterns that include that shade. This will maximize your wardrobe, as more pieces will go together, and you can practice wearing brighter colors for a variety of occasions. 

Earrings Are a Girl’s Best Friend

Diamonds are great, but gold chunky hoops are the BFF of the future. Holding close to her Latina roots, Selena Gomez frequently wears gold chunky hoops as an everyday jewelry item. Paired often with a slick bun, this key accessory is her signature look, and can be easily replicated with some gold hoops of your own. 

Closing Thoughts

Even though Selena Gomez is known for bright hues and bold makeup, she balances out the bright with the basic. So try out a new lip shade or look for some color in your fall wardrobe, and you can say you were inspired by the fabulous Selena Gomez!
