Selena Gomez's Fashion Transformation: How the Jeans-and-Tee Girl Became a Red Carpet Queen
Let's be honest, we're all Selenators here. We've been charmed by Miss Gomez ever since we first laid eyes on her, and if you can believe it, that was over seven years ago. Crazy, right? Between The Wizards of Waverly Place, "Love You Like a Love Song", and Rudderless, a lot has happened since 2007, and more importantly, so has a lot of fashion.
We've seen Selena evolve from a fresh-faced 15-year-old to a stunning 22-year-old with an ultra-chic sense of style. Want to take a look back on her red carpet journey? Click on through, and be sure to call out your favorite looks in the comments!
