Selena Gomez kicked off her career as a child actor starring in Barney & Friends before becoming the face of Disney with her show The Wizards Of Waverly Place. From the start of her career, the actress had to dress up for red carpet events, and it wasn’t until she ventured into music in the mid-2000s and early 2010s that Gomez found her sense of style. While she brought glamor with Converse sneakers and skinny jeans, she now switched to standout dresses and chic suits. Working with her stylist Kate Young, Gomez has indeed found her calling.

The songstress went from being the darling of Disney to dazzling the red carpet with her bold outfits that genuinely define her fashion. As one of the most recognized faces in Hollywood, Gomez has had the feat of wearing some expensive jewelry and couture looks for red carpet events.
