The day after the 2013 Video Music Awards in August 2013, the Moon-Man winner and Getaway actress Selena Gomez slipped right back into her busy schedule.
We can’t say the same for BFF Taylor Swift and One Direction, who both came out with awards and some controversy on the side.
Taylor, who won Best Female Video for “I Knew You Were Trouble,” was caught saying “something” while One Direction presented an award.
Likewise, the boys who won Best Song Ever were booed by some audience members during the show.

Elegance Unscathed: Selena at the Getaway Premiere
It seems Selena is one of the few celebrities left unscathed. The singer/actress kept it elegant in a mixed-print/media dress by Vera Wang at the premiere of the American action thriller film Getaway.

Elegance Unscathed: Selena at the Getaway Premiere
It’s an original story, not a remake of the 1972 American heist thriller The Getaway.
Ethan Hawke was 42, Selena Gomez was 21, James Maslow was 23, and Jon Voight was 74 when Getaway was released on August 26, 2013.

Star-Studded Cast and Premiere Night
The premiere of Getaway was held on August 26 at Los Angeles’ Regency Village Theatre. Co-stars Etan Hawke and Jon Voight joined Selena on the red carpet.
Real Stunts, Real Thrills
During the filming of “Getaway,” 130 cars were destroyed, and a dedicated junkyard was on set to store the wreckage. All car crash scenes in the movie were real, and no CGI was used.

Selena and Ethan’s On-Set Adventures
Ethan Hawke, who drove a Super Snake in the movie, did donuts for the first time on set with Selena Gomez as his passenger.
Selena Gomez, who was terrified, also went on a ride with a stunt driver to experience the driving but found it even more terrifying when Ethan Hawke was behind the wheel.

Stunt Driving Experiences
“We had a stunt driver come in and teach Ethan how to do 360-degree spins because he wanted to do all of it himself,” Gomez told E! News about filming Getaway.
“First I wasn’t in the car but then I got in and he was doing and I was like, ‘You’ve done this before in another movie, right?’ and he said, ‘No, this is my first time.’ I was like, ‘Great, so this is going to be where I die.'”

The Legendary Shelby Super Snake Mustang
“I actually wanted to get a few injuries so I could be like, ‘Yeah, I’ve got battle scars from making an action movie.'”
The Shelby Super Snake Mustang is a high-performance version of the Ford Mustang built by Shelby American. It was first introduced in 1967 and has been produced in limited numbers.

Selena’s Timeless Style
We’ve always admired Selena’s sense of style, which seems to grow with her. This mixed-media dress fit her well — if it could talk, it’d say, “I’m young, I’m having fun, and I’m loving it!”
