“A perfect-color scarf really brings out your whole skin tone, lip color, and everything else,” as Jessica Jung once said—and Selena Gomez proved just that in September 2013.
Stepping out in California, she effortlessly elevated a casual look with a rich-toned floral infinity scarf, pairing it with nude wedge sandals, a structured Versace bag, and oversized sunglasses. Her ensemble was a masterclass in blending comfort with understated glamour.

Gomez has embraced a simple yet chic everyday style. Her go-to look includes a basic shirt, bright red lipstick, stylish sunglasses, and an eye-catching accessory like a hat or, in this case, a scarf.
Selena’s effortless California look in 2013 proves her knack for everyday elegance, but she’s never been afraid to take risks on the red carpet.
Just a few years earlier, at Z100’s Jingle Ball 2010, she made a daring fashion statement that turned heads. Let’s look at this experimental ensemble and how it contrasted with her more refined style evolution.
Selena Gomez’s Bold Fashion Statement at Z100’s Jingle Ball 2010: A Teenage Style Experiment
In December 2010, the young Wizards of Waverly Place star attended Z100’s Jingle Ball presented by H&M, and we couldn’t help but notice her odd outfit, which included black Chanel Resort 2010 Carnival wedge sandals.

Too much going on, agree? Too many textures in one outfit equals a fashion disaster. A classic black top and skirt, minus the textured stockings and maybe some uber-fabulous boots, would have looked stunning with that red knitted scarf.

Selena Gomez isn’t the only star who can elevate an outfit with a well-chosen scarf. From effortless street style to high-fashion red carpet moments, celebrities have long embraced scarves as statement accessories. For instance, see how she styled a bold leopard print scarf, a two-way scarf, and a black scarf with glittery Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals.
Whether paired with sleek pumps, ankle boots, or even scarf-inspired footwear, these stylish combinations prove that scarves are more than just a winter essential. Let’s look at how other stars incorporate scarves into their signature styles.
