Selena Gomez Dazzles in a Chic Tuxedo Dress Paired with Sheer Tights

Selena Gomez is officially in her Little Black Dress (LBD) era, and honestly, we are living for it. The girl has cracked the code to versatility, proving that a wardrobe full of black mini dresses is not just a look; it’s a lifestyle. Recently spotted in a chic satin tuxedo mini dress with a daring plunging neckline, sheer tights, and classic black pumps, she has shown us how to keep things elegant yet understated while enjoying a celebratory night out in the city that never sleeps, also known as The Big Apple.

For this glamorous occasion, the Rare Beauty founder opted for a sleek and straight hairstyle, parting her long brunette locks down the middle and tucking one side behind her ear like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. Oh, but she didn’t stop there! She elevated her tailored ensemble with a sultry smokey eye that whispered, “I may be sophisticated, but I’m also ready to party” and delicately brushed on a light peach shade for her lips. Talk about a beauty mogul who knows how to serve looks!

Selena dazzled everyone as she accepted the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres award alongside the cast of her new film, Emilia Pérez. Now, for those who don’t keep up with their French culture, this prestigious honor has been around since 1957, established by none other than the Minister of Culture of France, and it celebrates remarkable contributions to the arts and literature—or at least those who know how to look fabulous while promoting them.

Sharing her joy with her 423 million Instagram followers (yes, you read that right!), she thanked Mohamed Bouabdallah, the Cultural Counselor of France in the United States, saying, “Thank you @mbouabdallah_ for honoring my cast with the Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres tonight at @villa.albertine for Emilia Perez!” Because nothing says “Merci beaucoup” like a well-timed Instagram shoutout.

As friends, fans, and even Gwyneth Paltrow chimed in with the simple but chic comment, “Okay, this is chic,” it became abundantly clear that Selena's happiness is contagious. One fan even noted, “The first picture captured my heart; I love seeing you happy.” Well, don’t we all just want to see her strut her stuff and radiate joy?

If my calculations are correct (which they always are when it comes to fashion), and going by the sheer volume of stylish Instagram posts that Selena has graced us with in the last month, it won't be long before we’re treated to yet another chic LBD option from our favorite style icon. So here’s to Selena—may her black dresses be endless, her happiness infectious, and her nights out fabulous. We shall be ready and waiting for whatever she dons next!
