Selena Gomez rocks $19 Forever21 shorts on the red carpet
Pint-sized actress-singer Selena Gomez, also known as Justin Beiber's lady love, hit the LA premiere of "The Thing" in an outfit that impressed us for several reasons. Let's go through them all, shall we? First and foremost, we love the fact that her sexy sequin shorts are $19 from Forever21. Yes, she knows how to work a Julien Macdonald gown or a Jenny Packham creation or a sparkling J.Mendel, but Selena also knows that style is not all about the price tag. She has her own clothing line "Dream Out Loud" at Kmart, FYI.
The second reason we love this look is because Selena clearly knows how to dress for her body without being over-the-top. She's picked one asset— her toned, tanned legs— not two or three to focus on. She knows that together, the micro-shorts and the black heels elongate her gams. And she's balanced the skimpiness with a flowy blouse so her look stays safely on the side of "edgy" as opposed to "trashy." The third reason is her hair and makeup. Her side-swept bangs, heavier lined eyes, and light lips, are youthful but sophisticated. Another option — like a bright red lip — would have also worked, but then it would have become the focus. Instead, her red nails add a fun, subtle burst of color.
