Selena Gomez turned heads with a sleek get-up at the Only Murders in the Building FYC event in Los Angeles. The Rare Beauty founder wore a high-necked black dress with an asymmetrical hem and layered it with a long white coat.
She elevated the look with a $4,100 Valentino Garavani Vain VLOGO Leather Top-Handle Bag and a pair of on-trend heeled flip-flops that have dominated celebrity closets like Hailey Bieber this summer. Hailey Bieber has championed Toteme’s heeled flip-flops, while Kylie Jenner gravitates toward Amina Muaddi’s $800 Juliette Patent Kitten Thong Sandals.
Gomez herself has leaned into the trend, wearing Proenza Schouler Cable T-Strap Sandals on a date night with Benny Blanco last month. With her latest outing, Gomez confirmed her status as one of heeled flip-flops’ most fashionable fans.
Selena v Hailey
This is not the first time that Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have matched their styles. Recently, photographers captured Selena attending a cooking class with her fiancé, Benny Blanco, as she wore chic denim capri pants – a signature look of Hailey Bieber.
Gomez and Bieber have carried a complicated history in the press, fueled for years by rumors of an ongoing feud. The connection between the two has always drawn attention because of their shared history with Justin Bieber. Gomez ended her relationship with Justin just months before he began dating Hailey Bieber in July 2018.
In June, fans noticed that both women quietly unfollowed each other on Instagram. Neither addressed the move, and no public incident appeared to trigger it.
Fallout With Nicola?
This is not the only relationship of Gomez that has come under the scanner. Her friendship with Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham, which goes back to 2015, has reportedly seen cracks.
In early 2023, Gomez joked that they could be called a “throuple,” but she has now begun distancing herself, allegedly tired of what she sees as Nicola and Brooklyn’s “diva-like” behavior.
