Selena Gomez has been seriously nailing it in the style stakes recently. In the past few weeks alone, we've seen the Only Murders In The Building star stun in everything from a teeny corset mini-dress and an epic vine-covered see-through gown, all the way through to more casual (but no less fab) 'fits including an oversized shirt and thigh-high boots, and matching leather jackets with BFF Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Yep, Selena is firmly in her main character fashion era, and we're loving every second. So it's only fitting that she be a liiiiiiittle bit extra as she hit the red carpet for her very own inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles last night. Attended by some of Hollywood's biggest stars, Selena put on the event to launch – and raise money for – her new Fund that is all about supporting and expanding mental health services.
"It has been my ultimate dream to launch this fund and it’s probably the most important thing that I’ve ever done," said Selena on the night. So to celebrate, she went all out with her fashion for the night – that consisted of not one, not two, but three stunning floral dresses.
First up: an absolutely stunning silver, sequinned gown featuring a dramatic train and chic corsage detail, which the star paired with matching silver nails, a diamond ring and some *major* diamond drop earrings. Simply divine.
And just in case her first look just wasn't memorable enough... Selena then changed into a second dress; this time an intricate, purple sequin piece designed to resemble an orchid – and taken straight from Indian designer Rahul Mishra's Couture AW23 collection. Selena kept the same jewellery on to complete the look, and added metallic pink strappy heels.
And finally, to speak during the benefit, Selena changed outfits once again. Sticking with the floral, nature-inspired theme that ran through her other two looks from the night, the actress wore a black velvet, high-neck mini dress that was covered in drawings of animals, flora and fauna. Selena, we applaud you – for the fashion and the fund.
