Selena Gomez just lit up the Cannes Film Festival in a way that only she can! On Sunday, May 19, the 31-year-old singer and actress turned heads at the photocall for her film Emilia Pérez, dazzling everyone in a fiery red ensemble that screamed Hollywood glamour.
Decked out in a custom red off-the-shoulder Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress, Selena looked every bit the superstar. The dress, made of ruffled silk, featured silk organza roses across the décolletage and an A-line mid-length skirt. Paired with red Christian Louboutin heels and matching nails, her look was nothing short of breathtaking.
But it didn’t stop there. Selena’s retro waves with a side-swept fringe gave her a classic, old Hollywood vibe. Her makeup was on point, with pink eyeshadow and lipstick that perfectly complemented her stunning outfit. Adding to the glamour, she accessorized with Wild Moon earrings and the Snake Dance ring by Messika jewelry.
This stunning appearance comes hot on the heels of an emotional moment for Selena at Cannes. On Saturday, May 18, her new film Emilia Pérez received a minutes-long standing ovation at its screening. The cheers and applause moved Selena to tears, and it was clear the audience loved her performance.
In Emilia Pérez, Selena plays the unsuspecting wife of a drug cartel leader named Manitas. The film follows Manitas, who hires an overqualified and undervalued lawyer, Rita, to help him undergo a sex change operation to become a woman and disappear into retirement. It’s a bold role, and Selena’s performance is already generating buzz.
Selena didn’t just wow at the photocall. At the film’s premiere, she joined her costars Zoe Saldaña, Édgar Ramírez, Karla Sofía Gascón, and director Jacques Audiard on the red carpet. She was the epitome of elegance in a black velvet Saint Laurent gown with a white ruched bardot neckline, Santoni heels, and a Diamond Swan Bulgari necklace. Her high ponytail and sleek cat eye makeup completed the sophisticated look.
And let’s not forget her chic arrival in France on Friday, May 17. Selena stepped out in a white knit peplum mini dress by Self-Portrait, which is available now for $495, and white-and-black slingback Roger Vivier pumps. Her fashion choices this weekend have been on fire, each look more stunning than the last.
Selena Gomez is proving once again that she’s not just a talented actress and singer, but a fashion icon who knows how to make a statement. Whether she’s tearing up on stage from an overwhelming ovation or strutting the red carpet in couture, Selena’s style and grace are unmatched. Don’t miss her fiery red look at Cannes – it’s one for the history books!
