Selena Gomez's stunning look at the 2023 VMAs after-party explored

Selena Gomez was the centre of attraction at the 2023 VMAs, given that the Calm Down singer had aced her look for the main event as well as the after-party. While her red gown and flawless makeup look got fans and makeup lovers swooning over her beauty, Selena’s after-party look was ethereal too.

Selena Gomez and her close friend Taylor Swift attended the 2023 VMAs after-party together. The former, opting for a shade different from what she wore for the main event, sported a custom purple corset minidress from Undone by Kate. The mini dress featured corset detailing, and the singer later added an oversized leather coat to the look that rested on her shoulders to keep her warm.

Meanwhile, for the accessories, Selena carried a handbag with rhinestone tassels and paired the outfit with black pointed pumps.

Selena Gomez styled the purple corset minidress with black, pointy toe pumps, a dainty gold choker, matching hoops for the ears, and a glittery fringe handbag, completing the look with subtle yet stylish makeup. For the hair, the Single Soon singer wore her long hair with a middle part and sides pinned.

While her makeup look and exact products haven’t been revealed yet, Selena sports and reps Rare Beauty products at all times, making it easy for makeup enthusiasts to decode her trending makeup looks.
