Selena Gomez didn’t receive the best feedback as she showed off her Oscar de la Renta leaf dress at this year’s Emmy Awards. The singer and actress, 31, went viral for showing off a classy, partially-sheer gown as she attended the January event, however, many seemed to think that the look was aging her.
Pairing her deep red dress with dark burgundy lipstick, Selena had fans likening her to a 50-year-old, and it wasn’t just the odd isolated comment. One fan even asked why the ex to Justin Bieber looks like she’s “60.” Gomez, who has since made headlines for her carousel of designer looks at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, had fans questioning her stylist’s skills, something that her Cannes outfits also led to.
Selena Gomez Shows Off Leaf Dress and Dark Lipstick
Looking glamorous as she added plenty of sparkle, Selena highlighted her curvy figure in a segmented, strapless dress formed of sheer fabrics and embellished opaque leaf patterns.
Shimmering in her floor-length number, the Texas-born sensation flashed her curves as she flaunted her hourglass waistline, modeling a custom-made dress covered in 450,000 sequins.
Adding in a massive diamond necklace with deep red gems from Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany, the Rare Beauty founder wore her dark locks swept up into an elegant chignon bun, completing her glam with stud diamond earrings to match rings, a deep red manicure, plus that statement burgundy lip. “Selena Gomez stuns in custom Oscar de la Renta at the 2023 Emmy Awards” was the caption as Just Jared shared the photos.
Fans Think She Looks “50”
The comments are out of control. Over 300 fans agreed with a comment reading: “They made her look like sheโs 50 years old.”
Gaining a similar number of likes, another fan replied: “Nice, but it ages her. She looks way older than what she actually is. Also maybe different shoes would have been better.” Selena is 26 years old. The most-followed woman on Instagram is adored for her low-key charm, raw and real vibes, and love of no-makeup selfies. Unfortunately for Gomez, the remarks just kept on coming.
“The lipstick aged her to 50yrs old,” another user stated. Another went for a “sorry bro” as they said that the Only Murders in the Building star looks 60 years old. Selena is styled by Erin Walsh, who was likely behind the recent Cannes outfits that included her green YSL minidress, Balmain crop top and tulip skirt, and monochrome YSL column dress.
