Oh Selena.
I hope your next album is called Violet Beauregard’s Girdle, or else I just can’t.

You are not Rhianna. Put it away.
If the sheer leg curtains came together at her waist, at the bottom of the decollete, it might have worked. But the lower abdomen, being the single most unattractive part of the female figure as voted on by millions over the centuries: why put it on the main stage?
The color is pretty. Her hair looks nice.
Did anyone else think of this? http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljjhdeK9Kt1qila48o1_400.jpg
YES.
Selena is Disney-pop roadkill!
Is it wrong that I don’t hate it?
I don’t hate it either! I’m saying – why not? Especially if you are that young and have that great thighs.
Ditto
Think it’s cute and shit she’s on stage there are worse things she could be wearing.
In this picture the “skirt” almost looks like harem pants that have been cut open, which is too hideous to even contemplate. The colour is very pretty though.
If this was a dress instead of sparkly granny panties under I Dream of Jeannie-wannbe leg curtains I’m pretty sure I would have liked it. As is, this is a big old N.O.
Honestly, sequin granny panties? WTH?
Can this whole girdle/pantsless thing just STOP. It looks good on absolutely no one.
The color is pretty on her. I can’t hate on stage costumes since they’re supposed to be over-the-top. At least Selena has the lower abdomen to wear the heck out of a sparkley girdle.
And the legs!
I wish the sparkly bit was a skirt but I actually like it.
Sue me, but I can totally get on board with this.
With violet elbow-length gloves and a chignon, we can channel Vera Ellen doing a night club dance number in a 1950s movie.
Perhaps more Ann Miller than Vera Ellen?
her crotch looks like a tropical fish. Not a good look.
However, had the dress had a full skirt in that blue flowy fabric, it would have been fairly pretty, if a bit costumey.
Compared to what some other young female stars are wearing, at least you’re not worried about a wardrobe malfunction with this. She’s well secured into the top and I’m not wondering who does her Brazilians since the “granny panties” are generously cut.
Also it should be noted – this was a show in Puerto Rico and is part of a Latin American tour. I would think the costumes might be a little different than what she would wear on a North American tour.
Besides – sometimes I think it’s unfair to ding concert clothing. This is part performance art. It’s not like she showed up on the red carpet with this. When I saw the title of this post in my RSS feed (without thumbnail), I thought for sure this was going to be the topic of conversation:

You touch on an important conundrum- Performance wear, stage costumes, they should be measured to a different standard; graded on a curve, as it were. Stagewear gets considerable leeway, I think. Besides, the star probably has less say-so on performance costumes than the red carpet outfits, possibly?
This becomes significant to me in the upcoming Fug Madness, for which my breath is bated.
Yeah. I mean, someone like GaGa or Katy Perry – for whom their entire public personas appear to be part of a performance – are one thing. But for someone like Selena Gomez – who still seems to shaping her taste in red carpet looks – it’s different. Or even JLo – her red carpet or Idol stuff about 8 times out of 10 has a different flavor than her usually gynecologically short and/or tight, sparkly and/or fringy performance togs. Her red carpet looks are dramatic, but obviously chosen for their impact on the carpet.
These are actual costumes – designed for a certain brand and to make her visible from the back of the theater. It would be like criticizing the Chicago costumes for their skimpiness, when the actresses that wear them would most likely wear something completely different for the Tony’s red carpet.
Not a big fan of the mullett dress, but she doesn’t look bad in it at least.
I love it as a stage piece and she’s rocking it. Especially love the blue extensions in her hair. And now i have “love you like a love song” running through my head. On re-peatpeatpeatpeatpeat.
Now I’m singing it!! I think she looks cute & better than a miniskirt.
The color is pretty and I enjoy the sparkle, but either lose the shorts and do a full skirt or lose the harem pants and do the shorts! As it is, it’s FUG from the waist down! And, Xtina already did Genie In A Bottle eons ago!
She’s wearing this ON STAGE SINGING, not to the supermarket, so to me this is a Fab. Now if she WAS wearing it to her local Stop & Shop to buy groceries….
Circus vibe. That said, her Love Song love song is the only thing I have to look forward to on the commute right now. Please help. IT MAKES ME BOB MY HEAD IN TIME. I wouldn’t mind enjoying it if I didn’t have to think of slimy little Bieber hands.
I’m getting an Esther Williams vibe from this.
$20 says that skirt thing comes off, seconds before she dives into the pool for some very impressive acrobatics.
Sadly, Ms. Gomez is too young to remember the bicycle shorts / overskirt / boobs-busting-out-allover ensemble that Demi Moore sported at the 1989 Oscars.
More like “Violet Beauregard’s chastity belt”….
*leaving the computer to quietly vomit up my breakfast*
I have a strong affection for Selena Gomez. I watched a bunch of episodes on the Disney Channel with my niece (who is
while I was home for Christmas. I think Selena is a genuinely talented and beautiful young lady.
However, this outfit would not flatter anyone, even a nubile, freaking gorgeous 18-year old. No, Selena. Just no, baby girl.
Stage costumes (usually) get a pass from me.
She looks good, the color is amazing, no chance of slip-ups. I refuse to get up in arms over something so innocuous.
I thought of both Wonder Woman and I Dream of Jeannie when I saw this. Is that so bad? I love them both. Thanks, Selena!
Neither for me.
How about Evil-Lyn?
