Last month, Selena Gomez achieved peace. In a photo shared on PopBase, the musician looked as though she had reached the end of a long and arduous, Tolkienian pilgrimage. Swathed in a homespun blanket, this is the expression of someone who has witnessed the horrors of Middle-earth and found herself in the edenic Lothlórien.

That would also explain the look of triumph on Gomez’s face as she stepped out of a Parisian hotel on Sunday afternoon. The pale-blue boxers poking out of the waistband of her wide-legged shorts evoked the uniforms traditionally associated with martial arts fighters. I imagine she might have worn those while battling a cave-dwelling Timothée Chalamet for some kind of rune-etched ring.
Speculative fantasies aside, this look rides on two trends that have been gaining traction over the past couple of months: sexed-up office wear (otherwise seen on Emily Ratajkowski and Sofia Richie) and the proliferation of boxer shorts (which have been a thing at Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta and Loewe). It’s a less provocative take on the underwear-as-outerwear phenomenon, a camp alternative to the exposed whale tails and hip cut-outs that have been mainstreamed in pop culture.
