After kicking off awards season on a high note at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, Selena Gomez was back on the red carpet at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she was honoured with a Virtuosos Award.
While Ariana Grande was at the same event channelling her inner Glinda, Selena opted for a white Magda Butrym mini dress featuring the brand’s signature floral embellishment at the waist. The sculptural peplum detail gave this LWD a modern edge, making it feel fresh.
Selena’s style often feels like a tug of war between being too mature or too twee, but this look sits comfortably in the middle. It’s youthful without feeling juvenile, sophisticated without aging her—exactly the balance she’s been searching for.
Messika jewelry and white Santoni heels were the perfect finishing touches.
2025 on the red carpet is looking very promising for her.
