Selena Gomez pairs summer's easy shirt trend with under $100 Zara sandals

Selena Gomez is the latest graduate of Hi-Lo Celebrity Styling University.

The Rare Beauty founder stepped out to dinner with boyfriend Benny Blanco on June 16 in a look that combined summer’s simplest shirt trend with two accessories that are at opposite ends of fashion’s spectrum. Alexander Wang’s super oversized “boyfriend” shirt, which has become a street style staple as temperatures rise and outfits become more relaxed, was paired with under-$100 Zara sandals and a $3,200 Saint Laurent bag. Black straight-leg trousers completed the business-casual date-night look.

Gomez’s sandals are already sold out, though retailers have plenty of similar styles available, but her shiny Saint Laurent bag is available to purchase for anyone wanting to enjoy their own high-low moment.

Menswear shirts don’t feature often in Selena Gomez’s off-duty wardrobe, but they’re a staple for the editors who curate her summer workwear and most of her TikTok posts, from insider favorites like Frankie Shop and Staud to runway collections from the likes of Loewe and Bottega. Risky Business The DNA is rediscovering itself as a closet staple, perfect for summer and a perky, just-out-of-bed look, and it looks especially great when paired with breathable cotton poplin shorts. Gomez opted not to match the set, instead styling it with straight-leg trousers.

It’s not uncommon for celebrities to pair affordable Zara sandals with a stately Saint Laurent bag in the same outfit. (See Jennifer Lopez and her extensive collection of designer bags with casual outfits.) This is a departure from Gomez’s recent style trend; in recent months she has been photographed primarily in clothes that enhance old Hollywood glamour, having begun working with stylist Erin Walsh, who also helps clients like Anne Hathaway look their best on the red carpet. Take the Cannes Film Festival, for example, where Gomez changed from a dress that revived the peplum trend to a custom Saint Laurent gown for the red carpet (with further custom pieces by Oscar de la Renta in between).

Gomez has also shown off her more colorful side in recent weeks, juggling two color trends: Barbie pink and slate blue. There have been a lot of murders in the building. But it’s Gomez’s take on the summery easy shirt trend that’s the easiest to replicate: Team it with an oversized button-down, sexy kitten heels, and black trousers, and you’ll be ready to splurge on summer in comfort, just like Gomez did on a recent date night. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to add some Rare Beauty red lipstick.
