Hollywood multi-hyphenate Selena Gomez has had quite the style evolution, beginning as a teenager when she starred on « Wizards of Waverly Place. »
Actress, singer, entrepreneur and style icon — Selena Gomez is a true multi-hyphenate.
The Texas native was first thrust into the public eye when she made her acting debut on “Barney & Friends” at age 10; Gomez began hitting major red carpets when she was 15 years old, thanks to her breakout role as Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
At the time, she dressed like most teenagers of the early aughts, dabbling in trends like skinny jeans, layered tank tops and Converse’s Chuck Taylor sneakers.
After the series wrapped up in 2012, Gomez blossomed into a pop princess, making waves in the music biz with her 2013 album “Stars Dance.” She channeled this persona with looks like sheer dresses and sequin catsuits.
Nowadays, hardly a huge Hollywood affair goes by without an appearance from Gomez. Dressed by celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, the actress is a force to be reckoned with on and off the red carpet.
Take a walk down memory lane and check out Gomez’s style evolution below, from her Disney Channel days to her new movie star era.
Much like her fellow Disney Channel stars at the time, including Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato, Gomez’s red carpet looks in the 2010s captured the essence of the decade’s fashion. Tulle dresses were frequently on the menu for the burgeoning star, as were graphic tees and chunky bangles.
She also had some unforgettable beauty moments early on in her career — like the bright blue streaks she rocked in 2007. “Got some blue going on … I don’t know, I like a little edge and a little pop in my hair, so I wanted to add something different, especially for the Teen Vogue party,” she shared at the event, in a clip that’s since gone viral.
During her Disney days, Gomez slowly cemented herself as a fashion darling and even scored a spot on the cover of Teen Vogue in 2009. The same year, “Wizards of Waverly Place” earned its first Emmy for outstanding children’s program.
