How to Get Selena Gomez Inspired Style

Disney actress Selena Gomez has captured the hearts of American tween fans everywhere. Her style is widely recognized by most of the world as "trendy." Selena chooses one color, simple basics as well as high-priced designer pieces. "Simple yet feminine" is her goal when dressing, and how she describes her own style. Her eclectic take on style has caused teens and pre-teens to frenzy over how they can get her look for themselves.

Things You'll Need

• Muted colored blazer (grey or black) Plain white or black T-shirt Skinny jeans Ballet flats Ruffle sleeved top Strapless or spaghetti-strapped dress (in black, silver, or blue) High heeled pump (peep toe or open toe) Cardigan Bangle bracelets Live in Love bracelets

Instructions

1. Look for pieces that make a statement on their own and then dress the rest of your look down. Selena is a maximum look for minimum effort kind of girl, but she still likes to be feminine. She loves pairing blazers with a simple T-shirt for a polished look. This should be your staple, as Selena wears this combo most often. Add a pair of skinny jeans, and finish the look with ballet flats. She'll usually wear her hair loose to show she's still a feminine girl at heart even when she's dressed down.

2. Shop around for neutral colored shirts--black and white are Selena's top pics. She usually has a plain tee with rolled jeans for casual everyday wear. She may dress the look up with a ruffle-sleeved top for a lunch date with friends. The ruffle-sleeved top with skinny jeans and ballet flats are another Selena signature. This look would be perfect for a casual first date, or even a school report or presentation. Shops like Forever21 have all the essential you need to piece together Selena's casual look (see Resources).

3. Choose classy modern dresses for special occasions. For nights out, Selena turns to her stylist for an eye-popping dress in either blue, silver, or black (Selena's best colors). The dress is usually either strapless or spaghetti-strapped. Selena finishes off with a grown-up high heel, either peep toe or closed toe. When shopping, look in places like Nine West Shoes for the type of heel Selena wears.

4. Invest in a good cardigan. Rarely will Selena wear heels out and about, but she does pair dressy dresses with ballet flats and a cardigan for strolling. This look on a person in the real world would be best suited for date night. The sweet pairing of a cardigan with a dress is ultimately feminine, which is what Selena is all about. Look for cardigans in light colors which will enhance any darker dress underneath.

5. Make the most of an outfit with accessories. Selena also goes for cute accessories. She is an addict for bangles and constantly wears them. She also wears a bracelet designed by her good friend and fellow actress, Samantha Droke. The Bracelet says "live in love" on the band, but is unfortunately no longer for sale online.
