Selena Gomez exuded Hollywood glamour when she graced the photocall for her upcoming film, Emilia Pérez, during the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, on Sunday, May 19.
Attending alongside lead cast member Karla Sofía Gascón and supporting actors Zoe Saldana and Édgar Ramírez, the 31-year-old American singer and actress shone brightly among her peers.

Directed by Jacques Audiard, the musical crime comedy follows Zoe’s character as she receives an unexpected offer concerning a feared cartel boss’ retirement.
In this film, Selena portrays the unsuspecting wife of drug cartel leader Manitas, who hires the overqualified and undervalued lawyer Rita to assist him in undergoing a sex change operation, enabling him to disappear into retirement as a woman.
Romantic in Red Off-the-Shoulder Giambattista Valli Dress
Selena Gomez epitomized the leading lady at the event, wearing a custom scarlet Giambattista Valli bustier dress from the Italian fashion designer’s Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture collection.

I love how she looked breathtakingly beautiful, commanding everyone’s attention with her stunning ensemble. Her red romantic outfit is a masterpiece, ideally suited for such a glamorous occasion.
Crafted from silk duchesse satin in a bold shade of red, the bright dress featured an off-the-shoulder silhouette that I adore. The dress was adorned with countless handmade silk organza roses, each meticulously stitched together and delicately draped over the neckline.
These roses trailed over her arms, creating the impression of a wearable bouquet. The intricate layers of floral ruffles paid a subtle homage to the south of France.

The “Love On” songstress’ ensemble was completed with a silk-fitted bodice accentuating her figure and a classic flared A-line skirt in the same vibrant hue. Ending at mid-calf, this design element added a touch of casual couture to her look.
Keeping the Monochrome Theme with Red-Soled Christian Louboutin Kate Pumps
What truly stands out to me is how Selena Gomez meticulously adhered to her ensemble’s crimson monochrome theme with her footwear choice. She made an impeccable decision.
On her feet, the Another Cinderella Story actress enhanced the fiery statement of her dress by donning a classic pair of patent leather Christian Louboutin Kate pumps in a rich red hue. You can see that she wears a size 38, equivalent to a US size 7.5.

These classic shiny pumps, available in various bold colorways, featured pointed toes, a slip-on silhouette, and 85mm stiletto heels, significantly elevating her height and elegance.
Selena also showcased the brand’s iconic signature pristine red-lacquered soles, flawlessly matching her vibrant look. I find it fascinating how the red soles enhanced the overall aesthetic.
It’s important to note that the red lacquer on Louboutin soles naturally wears with use, which is normal wear and tear, not a defect. To preserve the iconic red soles, consider resoling with red rubber or using protective measures.

To maintain your pumps, keep the leather clean and dry with a soft cloth, store it away from light and heat, protect it from rain and moisture, use the provided dust bag, and avoid abrasive surfaces.
Accessorizing with Diamond Jewels and Old Hollywood Glamour
Selena Gomez’s look was perfectly crafted by celebrity stylist Erin Walsh, who also styles stars like Anne Hathaway, Sofia Carson, Jessica Alba, and Elizabeth Banks.
I love how exquisite diamond jewelry from the French brand Messika complemented Selena’s outfit, adding an extra touch of luxury to her ensemble.
To accentuate her attire, the Only Murders in the Building star wore dangling diamond-encrusted Messika Wild Moon statement earrings that added just the right sparkle.

Her nails, styled with a crimson-red manicure, were further highlighted with a large diamond Messika Born to Be Wild Moon ring and a Messika Born to Be Wild Snake Dance ring.
Selena completed her glamorous appearance with a neutral approach to her hair and makeup. I like how she styled her caramel-colored locks in retro waves with a side-swept fringe, channeling old Hollywood elegance.
She chose a natural makeup palette featuring pale pink lipstick, matching pink eyeshadow, subtle black eyeliner, and fluffy soap brows.
