Selena Gomez is back, promoting the fourth season of the hit Hulu show ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ where she plays the host of a true crime podcast alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short. While we’re relieved to hear that Gomez won’t be engaging in any method dressing this time around (no bloodshot eyes and cigarettes for her!), she certainly made a statement at the Los Angeles premiere.
Gomez graced the red carpet in a stunning halter-neck Self-Portrait minidress crafted from shimmering bouclé, paired with a chic shrobed blazer and crystal-embellished stilettos. The look embodies the designer Han Chong’s vision for his most recent Resort collection, which celebrates the return of “sexy” with an emphasis on photogenic, eye-catching pieces. “No more of that quiet luxury… I have to make my clothes photogenic, which means I have to manoeuvre some of the sequins in different directions so that they catch the light and sparkle of camera flashes,” Chong explained.
Gomez’s premiere look serves as a reminder that sometimes the simplest things can be the most impactful. A well-made, gleaming LBD is a timeless classic that always captures attention, and celebrities like Blake Lively and Jenna Ortega, currently embracing “You get it?” florals and school-girl uniforms in reference to their roles in ‘It Ends With Us’ and ‘Beetlejuice,’ respectively, could learn a thing or two. While inside jokes are fun, there’s something undeniably captivating about a stunning dress, meticulously crafted and designed to shine.
