Selena Gomez wears a lot of hats and looks good in all of them. The founder and owner of Rare Beauty splits her time between a career as a pop star, an actor, an amateur chef, and on many occasions a style star. Gomez is a favorite for her outfits on and off the red carpet. With a penchant for glamour and stylist Kate Young on her side, there’s a reason she’s the most followed woman on Instagram. She’s attended a lot of red carpet events and, of course, has had even more iconic outfits. We’ve rounded up all the best outfits and looks.
Below, Selena Gomez’s most iconic outfits and looks.
Keeping things fresh, fun, and floral at Cannes, Gomez wore a bright red and flower-accented Giambattista Valli haute couture dress to the festival photo-call for Emilia Perez.
Gomez hit the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards Red Carpet in custom Oscar de la Renta. She paired the sequined-covered dress with a matching dark lipstick and nails.
Headed to the premiere of STEVE! to support her co-star, she wore an Oscar de la Renta dress, patent black heels, and tights.
More sequins! This time it’s Versace at the 2024 SAG Awards. She paired the subtle shine with red nails, soft glam, and soft but high-volume hair.
Trading in the sequins for beads, this high-drama look at the 2023 VMAs is courtesy of Oscar de la Renta. She added even more drama with a brown smoky eye and all-over body shimmer.
Her 2023 Golden Globes look was a stunning deep purple Valentino dress with a soft matching purple liner and shadow.
What’s more fitting for a beauty-brand founder than a sleek blazer? Gomez wore this lace-detailed Alexander McQueen look to the launch of Rare Beauty’s Kind Words Matte Lipstick in 2022. We have more than a few kind words to say about this look.
We’re just a little bit with her 2022 SAG Awards look. Gomez was all dressed up in Oscar de la Renta with some not-so-subtle puffed sleeves. She kept her beauty look simple with a sleek ponytail and nude lipstick.
Who says you can’t wear red on the red carpet? It’s a look Gomez has pulled off time and time again. Here she is at the 2022 Critics Choice Awards in Louis Vuitton.
Gomez attended the Variety Hitmakers Brunch in fashion-girl favorite brand Toteme, and to keep things interesting she accessorized with a candy-colored manicure.
Never one to shy away from a bold color, she attended the 2019 American Music Awards in bright green Versace and her signature bob.
The 2020 Hollywood Beauty Awards calls for a good beauty look. An easy undone updo is the best way to style this pale pink Aquazzura dress.
We’d say her dreamy 2018 Met Gala look was pretty on theme for “Heavenly Bodies.” Her sheer, ruffled Coach gown was perfectly ethereal when paired with soft curls and shimmery eye makeup.
What is it about Cannes that just brings out the absolutely best looks? For the 72nd Cannes Film Festival, Gomez wore this sculptural white Louis Vuitton dress with a bright red lip and cat eye.
Casual but still cool, the star’s off-duty look is our next outfit inspiration. Here she is out and about in NYC in 2017 wearing an oversize cardigan, turtleneck, cropped jeans, and loafers, an outfit formula we can’t wait to copy.
Another sheer look for the books, this time at the 2017 BoF 500 Gala in a lacy, shimmery gown from Rodarte. She added a soft berry lip, brown shadow, and her signature bob with a deep side part.
Gomez in 2017 at the InStyle Awards. She paired a sleek black Jacquemus dress with heavy mascara, black shadow, lots of glitter, and a nude lip.
Another pretty Met Gala look, in 2017 courtesy of Coach. So maybe the sheer beaded dress wasn’t exactly on theme for “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” it still looks good.
The street-style pic that went viral in 2017, Gomez wearing a Coach sweater and bag as the face of Coach.
At the 13 Reasons Why premiere in 2017, Gomez paired a shimmering orange Oscar de la Renta dress with Rebecca de Ravenel earrings, Giuseppe Zanotti heels, and a bright blue manicure.
Gomez headed over to BBC Radio 1 in a chic red, black, and white Marni sequined top in 2016. She paired the look with cream-colored mules and a glowing skirt for a outfit that looked fresh off the runway.
A quick outfit change at the BBC Radio 1 Studios, this time a cream-color coat to match the shoes. Accessorizing with sunglasses for the paparazzi pics and a chic monogram Louis Vuitton bag.
More bold red, this time at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Gomez paired this edgy cutout Mugler shirt and pants with silver heels and layers of chokers.
At the 2016 6th Biennial UNICEF Ball in Beverly Hills she opted for a Louis Vuitton gown featuring geometric cutouts and red leather.
Gomez knows what works for her, silver heels: Bright red lips, and a fresh manicure are some of her staples as seen her at the City of Hope’s 2015 Spirit of Life Gala. She accessorized this plunging white Ulyana Sergeenko dress with chunky rings.
Another Selena staple? Sequins. At the 2015 Grammy’s, her look of choice was a blue floor-grazing gown from Calvin Klein, soft waves, and a smoky eye.
Way ahead of her time with the flower accessories, Gomez wore an all-white Vera Wang gown, lots of sparkling jewels, and orchids in her hair at the 2015 Met Gala, “China: Through the Looking Glass.”
Keeping it minimal at the 2014 American Music Awards in an all-black Armani Privé gown. She let her armfuls of bracelets do the talking.
A shirt and skirt can be just as dressed up as a gown, maybe even better as evidenced by her Camilla and Marc look at the 2015 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball.
All white is a bold choice for a gala and dinner, but we’re sure Gomez was able to keep it clean. The star wore Versace to the third annual Unlikely Heroes Awards Dinner and Gala in 2014.
