Selena Gomez traded her signature LBD for a sleek, business-ready black suit set—complete with $890 Proenza Schouler sandals—igniting a minimalist rebellion (and proving summer noir is timeless).
At this point, Selena Gomez probably needs a separate closet for her all-black ensembles. Based on this year’s looks, her wardrobe is overflowing with noir pieces curated by stylist Erin Walsh from brands like Jacquemus, Thom Browne, Saint Laurent, and Khaite. On July 13, 2025, she stepped out in Santa Monica, debuting this consistent color story yet again, this time at Giorgio Baldi—a spot once synonymous with Rihanna’s dining choices.
Outside the restaurant, Gomez was photographed with fiancé Benny Blanco, their contrasting styles turning heads. She wore a tailored single-breasted blazer over a boat-neck blouse, paired with flared trousers, all in black. The standout? Her new Proenza Schouler T-strap sandals—cable-wrapped kitten heels with flip-flop thongs—echoing a trend embraced by Hailey Bieber, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner this summer. The New York-based brand’s design, a repeat appearance from a recent Rare Beauty event, underscores her loyalty. Her $225,000 engagement ring gleamed as the sole jewel, drawing focus. A black patent leather crossbody bag, its fringed flap mirroring the sandals’ cables, rested on her shoulder.
A few days earlier, she’d rocked a Self-Portrait mini dress and Ulla Johnson coat at the lip gloss launch—black, naturally—proving her LBD fatigue is far off. Is this couture’s quiet evolution? Her loose waves and natural makeup tied the look together, exuding effortless confidence under the evening’s soft light. Black-on-black might defy summer norms, but Gomez makes it a year-round statement—kitten heels aside. If this is the future, we surrender.
