Selena Gomez is embracing natural beauty after a whirlwind week of glamorous appearances. The Only Murders in the Building star, 33, shared a makeup-free selfie on her Instagram Stories on Friday, Jan. 16, giving fans a glimpse of her relaxed side. In the photo, Gomez wears a simple white tank top with her hair slicked back into a bun. She smiles softly while lounging against a blush pink backdrop, radiating confidence and authenticity.
From Glam to Natural
The selfie came just days after Gomez attended back-to-back events in full glam. On Jan. 14, she hosted a Rare Beauty launch event celebrating a collaboration with lifestyle brand Tezza. The partnership introduced the Warm Wishes Soft Matte Powder Bronzer, which officially dropped on Jan. 15.
Rare Beauty, founded by Gomez in 2020, has become a global success by promoting self-expression and inclusivity. At the time of its launch, Gomez explained her mission: “You’re not defined by a photo, a like or a comment. Rare Beauty isn’t about how other people see you. It’s about how you see yourself.” Her latest makeup-free post reflects that philosophy, encouraging fans to embrace their natural selves.
Golden Globes Glamour
Just days before the Rare Beauty event, Gomez walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes on Jan. 11. She attended alongside her Only Murders in the Building costars Martin Short and Steve Martin. Gomez was nominated for Best Actress in a Television Series — Music or Comedy, though the award ultimately went to Hacks star Jean Smart. Despite not taking home the trophy, Gomez made headlines with her Old Hollywood-inspired look, coordinated with her husband, music producer Benny Blanco. The couple later joined their castmates and executive producers for dinner at Max & Helen’s, a Los Angeles diner owned by Phil Rosenthal and Nancy Silverton.
“Breakfast for dinner after globes,” Gomez captioned a photo from the outing, showing the group still dressed in their black-tie attire.
Balancing Glamour and Authenticity
The contrast between Gomez’s glamorous Golden Globes appearance, her Rare Beauty event, and her stripped-down selfie highlights her versatility. She continues to balance her career in entertainment with her role as a beauty entrepreneur, while also reminding fans of the importance of authenticity.
Her makeup-free moment resonated with followers who admire her openness and relatability. Gomez’s ability to shine in both high-glam settings and natural snapshots reinforces her influence as a cultural icon. As she navigates awards season, business ventures, and personal milestones, Gomez remains committed to showing every side of herself—glamorous, fresh-faced, and everything in between.
