Selena Gomez radiated elegance as she stepped out from her Los Angeles abode on Thursday. The 27-year-old pop icon exuded timeless charm in an all-black ensemble, her spirits lifted after a delightful lunch with friends.

Embracing classic sophistication, Gomez paired pleated-front trousers with a subtly embossed short-sleeve top, exuding understated chic. Accentuating her ensemble with a touch of glamour, she adorned herself with layered necklaces, including a statement chunky gold chain from Missoma. Carrying her essentials in a sleek crocodile-skin bag, she completed the look with simple leather slides, epitomizing effortless style.

Opting for a subdued glam look, Gomez let her natural waves cascade gracefully around her collarbone, while opting for minimal makeup that accentuated her innate beauty.

Earlier in the week, the superstar revisited her alma mater, Danny Jones Middle School, sharing the heartwarming occasion via an Instagram video. Reflecting on her roots, Gomez expressed pride in her upbringing and took delight in reconnecting with her former teachers, including her seventh-grade basketball coach, Stephani Gray, who fondly recalled Gomez’s humility and dedication.

Revisiting her teenage haunts, Gomez playfully showcased her graffiti on the bathroom walls, reminiscing about her adolescent crushes in a light-hearted manner.

Amid her personal journey, Gomez has prioritized her health and well-being, leading her professional pursuits to take a backseat in recent years. While her musical releases have been infrequent, her presence has been felt in various projects, including lending her voice to the character of Mavis in “Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation” and appearing in Jim Jarmusch’s film “The Dead Don’t Die,” showcasing her versatility beyond the realm of music.
