Selena Gomez’s sequin dress features flowers and peplum

Proving that a black dress doesn’t have to be boring, Selena Gomez attended the premiere of her new movie in Canada, Emilia Perezat the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival in a dress that combined two Y2K staples. The black frock featured floral detailing on a sculptural bustier at the intersection of delicate criss-cross spaghetti straps and a delicately ruched peplum skirt. Not only did Carrie Bradshaw give her stamp of approval to the details, thanks to the monochromatic color palette and sleek, stealthy silhouette, but this look proved that when things come back thanks to the never-ending trend cycle, they don’t have to look dated.

Gomez’s dress was a custom-made Rodarte gown (the original red creation was part of the celebrity-favorite brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection). On the red carpet, she paired the all-black ensemble with a bold red lip, a pair of dangling diamond earrings, and matching rings. She wore her hair in a deep side part with long strands styled in Old Hollywood waves, and her nails were painted with red lipstick.

While Gomez recently shared that she will not release new music The upcoming new film will feature her singing the song “Mi Camino.” Last week, when she shared a clip of the song and the film on Instagram, her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, was full of praise for her performance, comment“This is one of the best movies I have ever seen.”

According to Everybody, Emilia Perez Gomez plays the wife of a feared drug cartel boss named Manitas, who enlists the help of lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) to help him undergo surgery. The outlet also reported that Gomez explained that the original song was completely different.

“It’s actually a completely different song,” the star said during a Q&A at Telluride Film Festival. “It has a little bit more of a raw sound and throughout the process, you know, working with [singer-songwriter] Camille sings this song in an intimate way, it’s almost like a ballad. It’s like a story about a woman and the stages of life she goes through and it’s beautiful.”
