- Selena Gomez stuns in a black dress
- The star showcases her figure
- She sparks Ozempic rumors
Selena Gomez, the pop sensation and now a formidable actress, lit up the New York Film Festival with her presence, looking every bit the star in a sleek black halter cocktail dress. The event, held at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, was nothing short of a spectacle, with Gomez's film 'Emilia Pérez' taking center stage. But it wasn't just her film that had people talking; whispers of Gomez's shrinking figure compared to 2023 had the word "Ozempic" floating around. "Making this film was worth all the blood, sweat, and tears," Gomez shared, her pride in the project palpable.
Gomez's fashion choice for the evening, styled by Erin Walsh, featured a backless design with a dramatic bow, paired with towering platform heels that accentuated her 5ft5in stature. Her raven hair was styled in a severe bun, highlighting her Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings and a fully contoured visage. However, the buzz wasn't just about her look; the absence of her rumored fiancé, Benny Blanco, raised eyebrows and questions alike.
The screening wasn't just a showcase of Gomez's work but a celebration of a talented ensemble, including Zoe Saldaña, Adriana Paz, and Karla Sofia Gascón, who jointly bagged the Cannes Film Festival's best actress prize. The film, set to hit select theaters and Netflix, has already garnered critical acclaim, boasting an 87% critic approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The 'Emilia Pérez' phenomenon
'Emilia Pérez' is more than just a film; it's a statement. Starring as "Jessi Del Monte," the wife of a transgender Mexican cartel leader, Gomez's role is a departure from her previous work, showcasing her versatility and commitment to challenging roles. The film's impact is undeniable, with Gomez herself stating, "This movie changed my life!"
