Selena Gomez has returned to film season 4 of Only Murders in the Building and her outfits are giving us a sense of déjà vu.

Taking to Instagram Story on Saturday, March 23, Gomez, 31, posted a mirror selfie from her dressing room. In the caption, she humorously mentioned being dressed like her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, on set.

In the photo, Gomez looked stylish in a red checked button-down paired with black houndstooth pajama pants. She added a long black duster and white slippers to complete her outfit. With her hair tied back in an updo and minimal makeup, Gomez exuded effortless charm.

Gomez made her relationship with Blanco official in December 2023. They had initially crossed paths years ago when he produced some of her music singles.

Blanco is a talented music producer and budding chef who is famous for his vibrant fashion sense. He can often be seen wearing bold prints, oversized hoodies, and relaxed button-down shirts. When he went to a Lakers game with Gomez in January, he chose to wear a floral jacket paired with a cream-colored shirt and pants. And at the GQ Men of the Year event earlier that year, Blanco made a statement in a red two-piece outfit, chunky white kitten heels, and a matching remote control in hand.

Gomez’s OMITB character, Mabel Mora, is also a fashion star who takes risks while sleuthing around the Arconia.

Costume designer Dana Covarrubias shared exclusively with us in September 2023 that she does not dress Selena in the glamorous outfits she wears on the red carpet. Selena's style is more focused on comfort in her daily life. There are times when Dana puts Selena in outfits that reflect more of Selena's personal style than her character Mabel's, and Selena will notice, saying it feels too much like herself. Other times, Selena will try on an outfit and feel that it embodies Mabel more than herself.

Covarrubias mentioned that she draws inspiration from Gomez's personal style, incorporating a "color element" and making adjustments to suit Mabel. Given that Mabel resides in her aunt's upscale apartment without a job, Covarrubias emphasized the importance of not making her style too extravagant. "We need to avoid dressing her in overly luxurious items," she explained.
