From cute to couture, its official: Selena Gomez is no longer a Disney princess. Though weve always paid attention to the 20-year-olds stellar style, the ensembles shes selected in the past week or so have really turned our heads.
See, for most of her career, Gomez has gone with a sweet, flirty look, as she did in a cute, but rather safe white get-up worn to the 2011 MTV Movie Awards (left).
Fast-forward to last weeks Venice Film Festival, where the actress worked a gold-and-black Dolce & Gabbana number (second from left) at a photocall for her new film,Spring Breakers. Its an outfit we didnt imagine Justin Biebers girlfriend wearing and really pulling off just one year ago.
The glam transformation comes at a pivotal time in the stars career. Not only is she getting older, but shes also taking on more mature acting roles, like the one in Spring Breakers, in which she stars alongside James Franco.
That maturity is evident on the red carpet, too; for the movies premiere in Venice, Gomez wowed in a blush Atelier Versace gown (center). Days later, for a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, she earned high marks again in a sexy,sophisticatedleopard-print Dolce & Gabbana sheath (second fr! om right ).
But it was her latest look a pale purple, frothy Marchesa confection (right) that made us believe the star has hit a turning point in her red carpet career. Its daring, beautiful, bold and gets us excited to see what she wears next. Tell us: Are you a fan of Gomezs red carpet style upgrade?
