We never knew bikinis and overalls could make such a chic ensemble — but Selena Gomez is proving Us wrong in all the right ways.
Gomez, 31, recently went on a relaxed boating trip with friends and shared the moments on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, July 29. During the ride, the Only Murders in the Building actress wore a blush swimsuit and a pair of light-wash overalls with distressed holes at the knees.
For the outing, Gomez kept her makeup minimal and accessorized with a simple white headband and delicate gold jewelry. She looked stunning in small hoop earrings, a coordinating choker necklace, and a blue butterfly ring on her pointer finger. Her gold accessories also matched her sequin handbag.
Gomez effortlessly showcased her impeccable style as she held the coveted sequin Fendi Baguette purse, a luxurious accessory valued at $4,900. Her ensemble was elevated by the addition of an oversized sunhat, further solidifying her status as a fashion icon. Whether she's casually socializing with friends, gracing the red carpet, or captivating audiences on stage, Gomez's fashion choices consistently leave a lasting impression.
“To be honest, when I was younger, Taylor [Swift] served as a great inspiration for me in terms of fashion choices and stage attire," she disclosed to Vogue in a June 2021 interview, specifically alluding to her ensemble in the 2011 music video for "Love You Like a Love Song." "I felt it was my moment to transition and become a pop sensation, whatever that meant to me at the time. It was simply delightful. I believe that was the first instance when I attempted to embrace high fashion. And you may find humor in that - because it hardly resembled high fashion."

During the time of "Love You Like a Love Song," Gomez mentioned to The Guardian that she was still relatively new to the concept of "fashion awareness." In a July 2011 interview with the British outlet, she admitted to being a tomboy in her younger days, sticking to a uniform of T-shirt, skinny jeans, and Converse. However, she has gradually developed an appreciation for fashion through her recent photo shoots. Gomez described her day-to-day style as classic, opting for T-shirts and jeans paired with boots, accessorized with scarves and jewelry. On the red carpet, she prefers an elegant look, while for her music, she goes for a more edgy appearance.
Gomez mentioned that she found great inspiration and influence in her surroundings, especially when traveling and observing other famous actresses. "I appreciate simplicity. The daywear of actress Rachel Bilson is stunning, with its clean lines and lack of fussiness," she remarked. "Gwyneth Paltrow looks absolutely stunning when she walks the red carpet. It's the kind of style I strive for."
