Selena Gomez Prefers Comfort Over Fashion, but Her Latest Cover Tells a Different Story

Selena Gomez's confident style reflects this current moment in her life. After beginning her year with a high-profile makeup and subsequent breakup, the 26-year-old singer is looking forward to releasing new music and growing as both an artist and an individual. Selena said as much in an insightful interview for the October 2018 issue of Elle, which, of course, features some pretty stunning dresses.

Though Selena wears an embellished Coach dress and a feathery Oscar de la Renta dress in the magazine, in real life, she prefers Free People over high-fashion. Her comfortable style has, in fact, become a bit of an inside joke with her stylist, Kate Young. "Kate, my stylist, laughs at me," Selena said. "She's like, 'When you're with me, you're wearing designers. When you're with your friends, you wear Free People.' I love comfort." Needless to say, in this sexy spread, Selena forwent comfort for a bold statement instead.
