Backstage, Gomez was seen sharing a light moment with her longtime friend Taylor Swift — a reminder of the enduring friendships that have shaped her public life as much as her evolving style. Gomez, who continues to earn acclaim for her role in Only Murders in the Building, was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy, further solidifying her place at the center of today’s television landscape.
More than a single red-carpet moment, the appearance reflects the effortless polish and emotional ease that have become hallmarks of Gomez’s fashion evolution — a look that feels as relevant years from now as it did the moment she stepped into the spotlight.

As seen in Selena Gomez’s red-carpet ensemble, red was a major trend at the time. While the color exudes a powerful, sophisticated vibe, Sel looked happy and playful as she posed on the red carpet in her Armani gown.

The exquisite creation featured a fitted bodice with a halter neck, pleated details, and diamond-cutouts, revealing a glimpse of Sel’s midriff and cleavage. It was adorned with three black rosettes down the center, glittering crystals, and a black waistband to enhance the waist.
The gown’s bottom half featured a structured asymmetrical skirt with a retro-style high-low design. One side skimmed above her knees, while the other added volume, revealing the sheer black lining.

Bulgari Brilliance: The Diamonds That Amplified Her Red-Carpet Impact
Erin Walsh, Selena Gomez’s stylist, topped off her red outfit with exquisite Bulgari diamond pieces, adding even more glitz and glamour to the shiny ensemble.
Her black-manicured fingers sparkled with 18kt white gold rings, including a $19,500 Fiorever ring and an $11,800 Fiorever piece, both featuring pavé diamonds. She also wore a $2,270 Serpenti Viper ring and a flower-shaped design.
She further accessorized her already glam appearance by stacking multiple bracelets on each wrist, including a diamond bracelet, a Fiorever coil bracelet, and a Serpenti watch.
Her dazzling jewelry was completed with a pair of Bulgari earrings. Erin Walsh counts Anne Hathaway, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Alba, and Sofia Carson among her high-profile celebrity clients.

Hot Chick Heels & Rare Beauty Glam: How Selena Completed Her High-Impact Moment
Creating a cohesive look, Selena Gomez slipped her feet into a pair of Christian Louboutin “Hot Chick” slingback pumps in red patent leather. The bold, wavy slingback strap with V-shaped notches enhances the pump’s classic pointed-toe silhouette, finished with 4-inch stiletto heels.
When it came to her glam, Selena worked with Marissa Marino for her sleek updo, Tom Bachik for her Golden Glazed Fire nails, and Melissa Murdick for her doll makeup.

Melissa kept Selena’s glam in sync with the Armani gown, using Selena’s own Rare Beauty products to echo the dress’s rich, playful mood.
She focused on strategic glow rather than all-over shine, tapping liquid highlighter along the cheeks, nose, and temples before layering foundation. Hence, a soft sheen came through instead of looking greasy.

Skipping the expected red lip, she leaned into burgundy tones on the eyes to brighten Selena’s gaze and flatter her skin, then built a diffused flush across the cheeks for a feminine, soft, and pretty finish that balanced the gown’s sexy, high-impact silhouette.

With her fashion and glam firmly commanding attention on the carpet, Selena’s night also included a more intimate moment behind the scenes.

Throwback Spotlight: Selena’s Dramatic Armani Privé Moment at the 2014 AMAs
Still sticking to her mature sense of style, Selena Gomez once again looked very serious on the red carpet at the 2014 American Music Awards.
The actress and singer’s Armani Privè gown, although sexy and backless (and braless), channeled Morticia Addams, especially with the goth velvet panels at the waist and front.

She styled her dress with an aging dark red lipstick and a center-parted updo. Her gold geometric earrings and chain cuffs were the only things hinting at fun and youth in the ensemble.

Selena has always looked serious on the red carpet, but maybe this time, it was in anticipation of her emotional performance at the 2014 AMAs. Watch Selena sing “The Heart Wants What It Wants” so intensely that it made Taylor Swift cry:
Selena’s blush gown during her performance was also a Giorgio Armani piece, so we naturally assumed her shoes were by Armani as well, even though we could hardly see them beneath the gown’s floor-length hem.
