We'll spare you all the outdated Austin Powers in Goldmember references, but not without calling attention to Selena Gomez [1]'s recent all-gold look. The singer was recently filming a music video for another single off Rare [2] when she stepped out in a slinky chainmail dress featuring a cowl neckline and open back. Selena paired the sexy dress with black lace-up, knee-high boots and bouncy curls.
Though it's still going strong, the chainmail trend saw a major resurgence after Kendall Jenner wore a silver chainmail dress to her 21st birthday party [3] in 2016. The dress also looks practically identical to the one Paris Hilton [4] wore to celebrate her 21st birthday. Since then, the unconventional material has been a popular party go-to, and we can only imagine which of Selena's songs warrant such a fun music video look. (Our money is on "Dance Again.")
