n another showing of its markedly edgy style, Interview magazine done done it again with this incredible stripped photograph of teen queen Selena Gomez. No makeup, hair wet, and totally covered up, we’re captivated by the cacophonic vulnerable yet stalwart vibes Miss Gomez is emitting in this black and white rectangle. Unlike most other teenybopper pop stars who hit that turn-of-age when they need to bare it all for a camera or a magazine, Sel’s interpretation is much less literal, much more subtly striking—which one could argue is totally the girl’s MO.
She sneaks up on you. She may have only recently blown up, but Selena’s been hard at work in “the biz” since she was a tot. But unlike many other stars who have gotten their start early, Gomez has maintained a squeaky clean image as a serious professional. It’s her usually cheery demeanor, smiling eyes, and bubbly personality that can fool you, but here, Interview shows her gritty, raw, real, and fearless.
