Selena Gomez’s Best Beauty Looks From the Last 10+ Years Will Cast a Spell on You
Selena Gomez has been stunting on red carpets ever since her Wizards of Waverly Place days, when every preteen on the planet (including us) wanted to be her. She’s proved that she can pull off just about any look, having gone from long and luscious brunette waves to a blond chopped bob in only a matter of years, and we never know what we’re going to see next.
The 27-year-old singer and actress has been in the spotlight for more than 10 years, and her beauty looks have evolved right along with her. Her makeup artist Hung Vanngo along with her hairstylist Marissa Marino accent her natural beauty with subtle yet striking looks that place Gomez at the top of our beauty inspo list (not to mention at the top of the world’s most-followed Instagram accounts list).
