When we talk, her 28th is only days away. &#8220;I&#8217;m not really good with birthdays,&#8221; she says, waving her hand as if to shoo them away. Selena (with all due respect to her and the Allure copy desk, let&#8217;s just call her by her first name here) has left the party-planning to a handful of friends she&#8217;s been seeing during the pandemic. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, it just feels like maybe something like 30 should be celebrated. Turning 28 is weird,&#8221; she says. In Selena&#8217;s defense, nothing about this year feels celebratory for anyone.<br \/>\nThere is a paradoxical quality to interviews these days. They happen at a distance, of course, yet there is an artificial intimacy. We&#8217;re sitting in our respective bedrooms. Selena&#8217;s look is unembellished. She&#8217;s wearing a long-sleeve, loose-fitting cream tunic so simple and elegant that it would look equally at home on a Celine runway and in a Renaissance painting.<br \/>\nThe rest of her appearance is also timeless: She has pulled her hair back into a ponytail gathered at the crown of her head. Even through the blurry haze of Zoom video, it&#8217;s apparent why she&#8217;s caught the eye of casting agents since she was knee-high. Her full lashes and arching brows contrast strikingly with the rest of her facial features, which read as cherubic \u2014 until she flashes a wide, toothy grin that disarms you like a sudden bloom.\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.koovs.com\/women\/style-stories\/the-edit\/get-the-look--selena-902\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2140_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2140_slide1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_73514\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gOEp16wjOqY?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_53550\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2aMQ88RBiKo?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_26778\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"855\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Hps-BJsjtk?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/selenagomez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by selenagomez<\/a> <\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px;padding-top: 5px\" align=\"center\"><strong>Style to wear<\/strong><\/div>\n<div id='sa_invalid_postid'>Slide Anything shortcode error: A valid ID has not been provided<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selena Gomez doesn&#8217;t like birthdays.
