Okay, so I saw this picture of Selena Gomez in a stunning red dress, and I just had to try and recreate the look. I’m no celebrity stylist, but I figured, why not give it a shot? It looked like fun!
The Hunt Begins
First things first, I needed to find a similar dress. This was way harder than I thought! I spent a good few hours browsing online. Seriously, my eyes started to hurt from staring at the screen. I looked through tons of different websites.
The Dress Dilemma
- I found some that were the right color, but the wrong style.
- Some were the right style, but like, bright orange instead of red. Ugh.
- A few were close, but super expensive. I’m working with a real-person budget here, people!
Finally, after what felt like forever, I stumbled across one that was pretty close. It wasn’t perfect, but it was red, had a similar-ish shape, and (most importantly) it was on sale. Score!
Accessorize, Accessorize
Next up, accessories. In the picture, Selena had on some simple, elegant jewelry. I already owned some similar stuff – a delicate necklace and some small hoop earrings. Easy peasy!
Hair and Makeup
Now, I’m no makeup artist, but I tried my best to copy Selena’s look. I went for a classic red lip and some subtle eye makeup. The hair was a bit trickier. I attempted to curl it, but let’s just say it didn’t exactly turn out like Selena’s. It was more… “I tried” than “I nailed it.” Oh well!
The Final Result
So, after all that, I put on the dress, the jewelry, and the (somewhat questionable) hair and makeup. I looked in the mirror, and… it wasn’t bad! I mean, I definitely didn’t look exactly like Selena Gomez, but I felt pretty good. It was fun to step outside my comfort zone and try something new.
It was a fun little project, even if it was a bit of a challenge. And hey, now I have a cute red dress I can wear out. Definitely a win in my book!
