Selena Gomez teased her new bangs this morning on TikTok, and then gave us a full reveal on her Instagram grid this afternoon. Gomez now has a bob haircut with blunt
bangs. “New hair who dis?” she wrote in her selfie.
Gomez spoke to ELLE.com and reporters this fall about her journey embracing her own beauty while debuting her makeup line Rare Beauty's spring collection.
“I've been in makeup since I was seven years old. I feel like that kind of messed with me,” the former Disney star started. “You're so young and then working. I have professionals doing my makeup and suddenly I can look 25 when I was 16, and it was crazy. Then I felt like, ‘Oh, I look too young all the time. I should achieve that look more. I should try that.’ It just made me question my beauty for what it was.”
When conceptualizing Rare Beauty, Gomez wanted to create a brand for those who have had similar feelings of self-doubt about their appearance.
“I've been a victim to wanting to change my face and do things because I see such like intense trends,” she continued. “I think the most rewarding part of creating this line is that we create a place for people who don't necessarily want to get work done or change their face. They just want to embrace what they are and what they have. Even if you do like to wear more makeup, even that will kind of work with what my brand,” she added, explaining that Rare Beauty's versatility represents “a kind of mind, body, and soul” beauty experience. “That's why I wanted the brand to be there for girls and guys and whoever to feel like it's okay to not look like everybody else.”
