\nWhile she is one of the most popular stars in Hollywood, that doesn\u2019t stop Selena Gomez from being human.
Like most people, Selena says that she struggles with body image issues and insecurities in her everyday life. Recently, the songstress chatted with Elle while promoting her upcoming SGxPUMA campaign. During the very candid interview, Gomez got real about body image and how she often feels insecure in her own skin.
\u201cI get really insecure sometimes, I go through weird ups and downs, but in general I just want people to wear what they feel comfortable in,\u201d Gomez dished. \u201cMy assistant, she\u2019ll wear workout clothes everyday. But she doesn\u2019t work out. It\u2019s just become a lifestyle, and she loves it. She loves how she feels and she loves how she wears it, and I mean, that\u2019s what I want everybody to feel. She\u2019s inspired me a lot too.\u201d
But the actress also shared that her new collection, which is called Strong Girl, is aimed to make women feel \u201cstrong inside out.\u201d While the 26-year-old says that she loves her career which includes both signing and acting, she says that the main reason that she enjoys being a celebrity is the fact that she is able to use her platform for good and encourage females.
Gomez also made a point to say that she is in no way perfect and she messes up all the time. But she just wants to be honest with her fans and let them know that they should just try their best at everything even though it\u2019s hard. At the end of the day, she just wants to let her fans know that they are not alone and she\u2019s right there with them.
Alright. Speaking from my heart for over an hour to someone who puts those thoughts into paid words can be hard for me. The older I get the more I want my voice to be mine. This is all apart of my work within an industry that\u2019s been around longer than all of us have been. The purpose of my interview was three fold. My work with A21, my new collection with Coach, and some new music. As I\u2019m aware there will always be interests in one\u2019s personal life because that\u2019s the pace of our \u2018social\u2019 generation. I\u2019m grateful for my position and I will always find ways to make my job more about others and giving back\u2014 all while having the best time with my music, fashion, film and my love for learning about the world that I\u2019m eager to tap into more and more. Church is a name for something far more personal. There\u2019s always agenda seeking information on such a subject and I understand why. Rarely do I mention church (and I didn\u2019t) but I\u2019ll always feel comfortable talking about my values and beliefs. I respect that from everyone and anyone. I understand that reporters are working to grab the attention of a reader, however I will always work to ensure that what is public represents my truth. I\u2019m a bit bummed but rarely surprised. Y\u2019all know me and my heart. I can\u2019t help it. So I\u2019ll post some of MY photos from the collection and work with A21. My heart. And maybe edit my actual lyrics as you will all hear it soon???? I love you guys to the moon and back. For more information on the work I do with A21 please, please visit link in my bio. So much more on that soon!

\u201cI think it\u2019s important for girls to know the strength in everything, their identity and their soul, lies within themselves. And too much today you give that away so easily, from social media to school or relationships. And I think it\u2019s important\u2014I want to remind girls that they\u2019re perfectly strong the way they are.\u201d
In the campaign, Gomez poses alongside her friends for photos and also makes mention of how beautiful it is that all of them are different sizes and different body types. She shares that this is one of the things that helped her to design the line, by understanding how certain people dress and how clothes fit them. But perhaps the coolest part of Gomez\u2019s new line is the fact that each of the pieces have hidden messages, something that Selena says she does in each one of her collabs to make it her own.
Some pieces from Selena\u2019s line are available on the Puma website.<\/p>\n
