Selena Gomez fans were in for a treat this morning: The Rare Beauty founder made a surprise appearance at a Sephora store in New York City to promote her brand. And as usual, the star donned a polished look for the occasion to mix-and-mingle with fans. Gomez embraced one of the biggest trends of the fall—taking cues from the runways via a well-placed statement belt.
For fall 2024, labels such as Chloé, Schiaparelli, and Ralph Lauren all showed big, brazen belt buckles—treating the utilitarian accessory as its own standalone piece. While they do, indeed, keep your pants or skirts up, the message was that a striking belt can amp up even the simplest of looks. It’s a styling approach that Gomez nailed today: The star paired a studded, western-style Khaite belt with pared back staples including a black Khaite bodysuit, white high-waisted trousers, and pointed patent pumps—instantly elevating the ensemble.
As shown by Gomez, a statement belt is your easiest fall wardrobe hack. While you continue slipping into your cozy, everyday basics, a flashy belt—whether studded, grommeted, or finished with a shapely buckle—will transform the outfit from basic to bold. Who doesn’t love an effortless styling trick? Especially on days when you just want to bundle up with a warm Pumpkin Spiced Latte.
