Selena Gomez dabbles in acting, music, and beauty ventures

This latest wax figure comes at a time that can be considered as rather busy for Selena Gomez. The multi-faceted star has made significant strides in her entertainment career, including a return to her Disney Channel roots by starring in the Wizards of Waverly Place sequel series.

Additionally, Selena is now a leading actress who received a nomination for the Emmy Award for her appearance in the famous Hulu series, Only Murders in the Building.

Selena Gomez has also been very busy with her music, releasing multiple songs within the year. However, she has not toured since 2016, as she stated in an interview with TIME magazine. In the May 2024 interview, she opened up about her love for performing live, saying,

“Nothing makes me happier than 90 minutes of being with my fans and just celebrating together,” but she also admitted that touring can be “emotionally draining.”

Talking about her beauty brand Rare Beauty in an interview with TIME, she stated clearly that she doesn’t want her company to give off the impression that people must wear makeup. She also criticized societal beauty pressures, calling them “bulls**t.”

Selena Gomez is currently promoting the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building and has promised that more music is on the way in the next couple of months. Moreover, Selena is continuing her Rare Beauty line with new product releases that are also in line with her vision of body positivity and confidence.
