Selena Gomez has gone from Disney darling to entertainment mogul in what seems like no time. From acting on The Wizards of Waverly Place to starring in Spring Breakers and releasing solo albums, the gorgeous 25-year-old is a force to be reckoned with. But that’s not all. When she’s not topping the charts or slaying the silver screen, Selena also somehow finds time to perfect her always-chic style.

Whether channeling her inner tomboy in a sleek pantsuit, or going full-on glam in an extravagant silky gown, the starlet always looks put together and in the sartorial know. Don’t believe us? Take a look through our slideshow of her best fashion moments and you’ll see that even when she’s rocking a casual off-duty ensemble, she still looks incredible. Now that’s a girl who knows how to dress for every occasion.

This incredible dress is full of contradictions. Its skirt is short yet long and its neckline is high yet low. The result? One sexy and tasteful dress—a look that she will learn to perfect and make her own over the next few years.

Step back, Janet Jackson, because Selena might have just become the queen of sexy pantsuits AND shoulder pads. The starlet is clearly coming into her own and experimenting with her red carpet style.

Wait, are we sure Selena isn’t from New York? Because she is killing the city’s stereotypical uniform of head-to-toe black with a red lip.

Okay, we’re going to be real here. This 70’s-inspired, shoulder pad and chain-clad pantsuit would look ridiculous on about 90% of the world’s population. But somehow, she pulls it off. With gold stilettos, nonetheless.
