After taking a break from the public eye to prioritize her mental well-being, Selena Gomez has been relying on her friends for encouragement and support. Exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the 26-year-old singer looking cheerful and much healthier than before during her trip to Mexico. Dressed in a lovely cream bikini, she was seen smiling and enjoying the company of her closest friends at her best friend’s engagement party.
Feeling fabulous: Selena Gomez was all smiles during her recent getaway to Mexico for her best friend’s engagement celebration. Despite her health challenges, including a kidney transplant and Lupus, Selena looked completely at ease as she enjoyed the beach in a stylish two-piece outfit. Her beach attire included a chic top and high-waisted bikini bottoms with a cheeky design. To complete her look for the special occasion, she added a glamorous touch with a pair of oversized gold hoop earrings.
Selena’s face lit up with joy as she kicked back and chilled with her pals.
Effortlessly chic: The actress rocked a sleek top paired with high-waisted bottoms in a fun cheeky cut style. Meanwhile, Selena opted for a casual low-ponytail to keep her long brunette hair out of her face and went for a natural makeup look.
During a recent photo shoot, the Back To You artist was captured striking poses as her friend snapped some shots with a disposable camera. She later posted some snapshots from their beach outing on social media, where she disclosed that she was in Mexico to celebrate an engagement party.

Beautiful: Selena put her dark, luscious hair up in a casual low ponytail and seemed to be wearing minimal makeup in her photos. “We’re celebrating my best friend’s upcoming marriage! Future Mrs. Lopez,” she wrote alongside a collection of joyous pictures. Witnesses noted that the ex-Disney star looked radiant in her bikini, laughing and sipping drinks with her friends as they unwound on vacation. The group’s fun-filled day included horseback riding on the beach and relaxation by a cozy fire pit.

The ladies are in town! The celebrity’s squad has been showing her support in the past few months. As per a source from E!, the gang was enjoying their time together during their stay in Cabo. “Selena was hanging out with her friends, munching on chips and guacamole, and sipping water from a large bottle. They arranged their chairs in a circle on the rooftop, spending the day laughing and chatting away.” When evening fell, they watched a private fireworks display while dining on the beach.
Selena has faced some health challenges in the past few years, including undergoing a kidney transplant in 2017 and dealing with Lupus.
Honoring Courtney: Courtney J Barry, her closest friend for years, was at the forefront of the celebrations before her wedding to Sam Lopez.
Always by each other’s side: Alongside Selena on her trip were a bunch of health-conscious girls who have stuck with her since she completed rehab towards the end of last year. Leading the pack was her longtime bestie, Courtney J Barry, who is gearing up for her upcoming wedding to Sam Lopez. The soon-to-be bride also posted some snaps from their exotic getaway on social media, as did their other pals. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the group hopped on horses for a picturesque ride along the beach. Selena has been all about her squad ever since she made her comeback, even teaming up with her ‘soul sister’ Julia Michaels for a collaboration on a new track just last month.
Putting friendship before everything else: “Celebrating my best friend’s upcoming wedding! Cheers to the future Mrs. Lopez,” Gomez captioned a series of photos from their beach getaway on Instagram.
Enjoying a full day of sunshine: As the sun began to set, the group hopped on horses for a leisurely ride along the beach. The dynamic duo teamed up for the track Anxiety on Julia’s most recent album, Monologue Part I, where Selena lent her voice to the powerful lyrics, ‘But all my friends, they don’t know what it’s like, what it’s like. They don’t understand why I can’t sleep through the night.’ This new music release is a significant moment for Gomez, as it is her first since she sought treatment for mental health late last year. Julia’s album Inner Monologue Part I was officially launched on January 25 and also features the track What A Time with Niall Horan. While Selena appears to be in good spirits, her ex Justin Bieber is currently navigating through a difficult period of depression. The singer, who recently tied the knot with Hailey Baldwin, is actively seeking counseling to help him ‘navigate his next steps’.
Delicious snacks: The girls indulged in a wide assortment of chips and guacamole, pairing them with refreshing, ice-cold beverages like green juices.
Courtney, the soon-to-be bride, excitedly shared on social media about her upcoming girls’ trip with her besties, giving a special shoutout to her longtime friend Selena.
Love: Selena recently shared a series of photos on her social media, showing her enjoying some quality time cuddled up with her friends. The famous singer, Justin, has been feeling a bit low and tired lately and is seeking help to address the underlying issues that have been affecting him. Justin has been open about how the early fame negatively impacted his mental health, admitting that he became arrogant and cocky. He reflected on feeling ashamed of his actions, turning to Xanax as a coping mechanism. Selena and Justin had a tumultuous relationship, dating on and off for years. Their last public appearance together was in March of last year. Justin quickly moved on, getting engaged to his on-and-off companion Hailey Baldwin just three months later. The couple ended up tying the knot in a courthouse ceremony in November.
Matching: Each girl rocked a unique swimsuit style, with a color scheme of either white or black for their day at the beach.
