Selena Gomez, is that you?
There are two movie conventions currently being staged at opposite ends of the globe. There is the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where the world’s most famous celebrities pose on red carpets in custom Haute Couture, and there is the 51st Telluride Film Festival, where the world’s most famous celebrities pose with people’s dogs in comfortable knits.
Gomez was yesterday afternoon photographed at a screening of Emilia Pérez—in which she plays a cartel wife—in a breton-striped top, wide-legged denim and a camel Frankie Shop trench coat. Squint and it almost (almost) could have been Kate Middleton attending, I don’t know, a mental health activation at a local primary school or something. Because how many times have we seen the Princess of Wales dressed in a striped knit, jeans, and some sort of hunting-shooting-fishing jacket?
Consider Kate’s visit to Dadvengers in Arnos Grove and her visit to St John’s school in Bethnal Green and her visit to the King’s Cup Regatta in Greenwich and her visit to the SportsAid Athlete Workshop in Stratford and her visit to the Sail Grand Prix in Plymouth. So signature is this look that Lucinda Chambers styled the then-Duchess in this precise combination of clothes—jeans, nautical tops, tweedy jackets—for the June 2016 issue of British Vogue. “She didn’t want to be dressed as a fashion plate,” said former editor Alexandra Shulman in 2022, “and was not keen to be shot in gala gowns and tiaras.” I wonder if the same could be said for Selena Gomez at Telluride.
