A Rare Beauty with a Social Media Spat

While boasting a massive 420 million followers on Instagram, Gomez isn’t one for excessive social media sharing. In 2020, she spoke out about the platform’s pressure to conform, contrasting it with the message of individuality promoted by her brand, RARE. While acknowledging the potential blowback, she admitted to concerns about social media’s impact on her generation’s self-perception.

Yummy: 'Ice cream chillin,' the Only Murders In The Building actress wrote in her caption. The caption may have been a reference to her Blackpink song Ice Cream

Finding Happiness Beyond the Likes

The ice cream post’s playful caption, “Ice cream chillin’,” might be a nod to her Blackpink collaboration, “Ice Cream.” This aligns with the message of self-acceptance Gomez champions through her brand name, RARE. It’s no surprise then that she took a break from social media in 2018, finding greater happiness when disconnected.

A Global Star with Texas Roots

A recent post featured Gomez and a friend posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, a testament to her jet-setting lifestyle. Her openness about finding happiness offline resonates with her struggles with Lupus. Diagnosed in 2012, she underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 with the support of her friend Francia Raisa.

From her Texas roots to her high-fashion collaborations with Balenciaga, Selena Gomez continues to be a force in entertainment and fashion.
