Selena Gomez Channels Alex Russo in Versace

Selena Gomez was quite the chic take on her character from Witches of Waverly Place during her arrival at Jimmy Kimmel Live on the evening of June 26 in her black Versace look. The black dress had menswear-inspired white shirt cuffs and a crisp white collar, with the brand’s signature gold buttons applied from the top of the collar down the mid-dress, which was of midi length. On-trend touches such as sheer sleeves, a slouchy black clutch, and kitten-heel black pumps kept the look classic.

A Family Affair

To offset the sleekness of her ensemble, Gomez was joined by her beloved grandparents, David and Debbie Cornett. In paparazzi shots taken before she even sat down, Gomez was grinning from ear to ear and holding both grandparents’ hands. As sweet a family moment as it was, it felt even more precious because Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costar Martin Short was guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live that night.

Close-Knit Family

Her fans already know her close attachment to her grandparents, whom she calls Nana and Papa, through the HBO show Selena + Chef. They live with her in her Los Angeles home. It is often very much reflected in pictures shared by Gomez of their family life while cooking together. “I live with my grandparents, so we’re always in the kitchen, and we’re always cooking,” Gomez posted to Instagram in December. “We always have leftovers, so I’m pretty sure I won’t be ordering in; it’s got to be something from home.”

Interview Highlights

In an interview with Short, Gomez revealed a great sense of humor. When Short asked which of her two co-stars she liked best—him or Steve Martin—Gomez responded, “I don’t believe in favorite olds.” That was quite a humorous way of showing the equal love and affinity she holds for both and also showed her passion toward her grandparents deep inside.

Conclusion

Selena Gomez’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was all about fashion, family, and fun. Dressed in a Versace outfit fit for a grown-up Alex Russo, her closeness with her grandparents added a touching layer to the evening. As always, Gomez continues to capture the imagination of her fans with her style, charm, and genuine personality.
