Disney is known for its family-friendly image, which sometimes makes us forget that its stars are real people with their own ups and downs. Former Disney Channel sensations Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato have finally reconciled after their well-publicized feud.

In August 2015, Selena was spotted leaving her New York hotel, giving some love to her awaiting fans on the way out. While Selena was busy dazzling fans with her chic outfits, her long-standing friendship with Demi Lovato was making headlines. Their well-publicized feud began a year earlier when Demi unfollowed Selena on social media.

“I think it’s just one of those things where people change,” Demi Lovato said in an interview. “People grow apart.”
People quickly assumed that “one of those things” was Selena’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, who wasn’t the best influence on the former “Wizards of Waverly Place” star.

Selena left her hotel in patterned loose trousers, which she wore with a loose button-down shirt. The following day, the star emerged from the hotel wearing an all-black ensemble of skinny jeans paired with a long boat-neck top.
Selena wore her Saint Laurent Jane ankle cuff sandals on both occasions.

Luckily, the feud didn’t last too long. Demi eventually re-followed Selena on Instagram, and the reunion was affirmed by a heartfelt exchange between the two BFFs on Twitter. Selena wished Demi a happy birthday, and Demi replied with an equally sweet message.

While we love this rekindled friendship as much as anyone, we must pause to discuss Selena’s Saint Laurent heels.
She wore them two days in a row, and it’s easy to see why. They’re classic and sophisticated yet give off a vibe of independence and total female dominance, perfectly reflecting Selena’s personality.
