Selena Gomez Channels Her Inner Elle Woods in Fabulous Hot Pink Specs!

Did Selena Gomez just transform colorfully-framed glasses into the ultimate must-have accessory for autumn 2024? We think the answer is a resounding yes. Early Thursday morning, in a post that felt like a love letter to self-expression, the former Disney darling made an irresistible argument for glamorous eyewear. She donned a pair of bright pink frames that would undoubtedly earn a nod of approval from the one and only Elle Woods of *Legally Blonde* fame.
In true Selena fashion—because “ordinary” is not in her vocabulary—she paired these exuberant specs with a casual off-duty white button-up shirt. Talk about elevating a simple outfit! As if to create an entire aesthetic around her think-pink theme, she balanced it all with a full face of makeup, likely concocted from her own renowned beauty brand, Rare Beauty. With sleek winged eyeliner that could slice through clouds, fluttery lashes, a soft, muted pink lip, and just the right touch of rosy blush, Selena set the stage to prove one undeniable truth: an impeccable face card can infuse luxury into even the most pared-back outfits.
Her eyewear of choice? The oh-so-chic ‘Pink Crystal Butterfly Frame’ from Dolce & Gabbana, crafted from hot pink transparent acetate, and adorned with delicate gold details on the arms. Reading glasses have truly taken the fashion world by storm these past few months. It’s like we’re in the midst of a stylish optical revolution, with both oversized and sleek designs reappearing on the faces of some of our favorite trendsetters. Earlier this month, Hailey Bieber championed the '90s secretary look, sporting a pair of black Miu Miu frames while managing to look every bit the fashion icon with her slicked-back hair and a tailored gray cardigan.
And let’s not forget Rita Ora, Millie Bobby Brown, and Bella Hadid, who’ve all been seen strutting their stuff in oversized frames—as if they just walked off the pages of a vintage fashion magazine. Bella Hadid, in particular, showcased her frames on the Saint Laurent catwalk, proving that eyewear is the new crown jewel of fashion.
Pink tones have long been synonymous with our beloved sorority girl-turned-lawyer, Elle Woods. So, if you find yourself in a last-minute scramble for a Halloween costume this weekend, why not take a cue from Selena and channel your inner Harvard Law graduate? What, like it’s hard?
