Through 2026, celebrities have staked their claim on the ‘pop of’ du jour. Selena Gomez is the next.
For Harry Styles, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rihanna, it’s all about the flash of animal print: whether that’s a leopard ponyhair Chanel bag à la Styles or Rih’s penchant for python patterned boots. Kendall Jenner and Katie Holmes employ the pop of red among their more minimalist looks often, while Hailey Bieber indulges in the most buttery slicks of yellow. Cobalt blue has also found the likes of Bella Hadid, Chase Infiniti, and Greta Lee go all-in, while toothpaste dressing is a favored pasttime of Sarah Pidgeon and Dua Lipa.
Stepping out for a Rare Beauty event in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, where she was celebrating the launch of her new matte foundation, Selma Gomez embraced the latest penchant for a shade of candyfloss pink. The beauty mogul, actor, and pop star wore a shiny satin mini dress from the Prada spring 2026 show, which features a sweet pearl embellished and embroidered collar, complete with two front pockets and a white crinoline lining peeking out of the hem. Styled by her go-to Erin Walsh, she opted for some pointed white slingback pumps, diamond hoops, and a stack of silver rings.
Adding her own twist to the pop of pink trend, Selena’s makeup was also sugar-forward, with a sweet pink eyeshadow amped up with a feline flick of eyeliner and matching blush taken up to her temple, as well as a rose-tinted lip. Hair was up in an elegant bun with soft, face-framing pieces gelled straight.
Gomez finds a perfect sartorial partner in Prada, enjoying the house’s more whimsical and feminine side. For the 2025 Golden Globes, she wore a powder blue Prada gown that emphasized her love of old Hollywood glamour. Selena has also embraced all tones and temperatures of pink, whether a dusty rose Rare Beauty sweater, a pink mocha manicure, or a pink-purple satin mini-dress and matching shawl.
Easter is just around the corner, and with it, the spring-time color wheel. Expect to see more of Selena Gomez in all shades of candy and pastel.
