Happy belated birthday, Selena Gomez! The singer and Rare Beauty founder turned 31 yesterday. To celebrate the big night, the star held a party with some of her closest friends—and shared some photos from it on her Instagram page for fans to enjoy. There was loads of dancing, star sightings (Paris Hilton and Christina Aguilera were there!), and epic birthday cakes. The best part is the statement look that Gomez wore for the grand affair.

Gomez slipped into a red, strapless mini dress from Bottega Veneta that was covered in leather-shaped flower petals. The design is from the label’s spring 2023 collection, and while it was shown on the runway with matching embellished opera gloves, Gomez left the bold accessory behind and kept the ensemble simple and sleek. Though, she did have fun with her choice of sexy shoes. Her strappy stilettos also had a floral appliqué on the back, tying back to her frock. 

Later on in the night, Gomez threw on an oversized black blazer and tiny rectangular shades with the look, giving it an even more party-ready vibe. The ensemble is precisely what a birthday girl should wear: It’s a dress that instantly makes you the center of attention. What, don’t you rock fresh-off-the-runway for your birthday?
