Selena Gomez was giving Wednesday Addams in a serious way at the 2024 Governors Awards on Sunday, Nov. 17 in Los Angeles.

The Emilia Pérez star hit the red carpet in a floor-length mock-neck gown covered in dazzling black beads. The Ralph Lauren design featured a crisp white collar and matching cuffed sleeves that mimicked the layered look of a tuxedo. Stylist Erin Walsh accessorized the dress with an oversize pair of diamond feather earrings from Boucheron, as well as several rings from the jewelry designer, including a hulking diamond-encrusted lion face ring, a pear-shaped diamond cocktail ring, and a square-shaped onyx black ring topped with a circular diamond.

Nail artist Tom Bachik painted her short natural tips a rich shade of burgundy in keeping with fall's wine-red color trend. According to Bachik, with whom the actor has been working for years, the exact polish used to create her merlot manicure was Never Bordeaux You from Aprés Nail. Her soft smoky eye and glossy nude lips were the work of her longtime makeup artist Hung Vanngo using Rare Beauty.

After debuting a new lob haircut in October, hairstylist Renato Campora slicked Gomez's brunette locks into an elegant chignon for the award show. The wet look updo framed her face with a deep side-part and a few gelled baby hairs. Luckily, you don't need to be a celebrity hair expert in order to recreate the style at home. Fenty Beauty's edge control gel and styling tool would be perfect for taming flyaways and giving your baby hairs the same sort of artful swoop.

It was a preppier ensemble than we're used to seeing Gomez select, although it did cohere with her ongoing little black dress hyper-fixation. Perhaps it's a sign of a broader shift in the star's personal style. Over the weekend, for instance, she was spotted taking her little sister Gracie Elliott Teefey out for pizza in an oversize houndstooth blazer and platform Prada loafers. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised the Rare Beauty mogul is dressing a bit differently now that she's a bona fide billionaire. Luckily, the structured businesswoman vibe—with a touch of gothic glamour, in this case—really works on her.

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
