Selena Gomez made a stunning appearance at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards, where she was nominated for Best Actress in a Television Series Musical or Comedy for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.
She walked the red carpet in a beautiful velvet Valentino gown with a plunging neckline, a high-slit, and exaggerated purple off-the-shoulder sleeves. See below:

While many praised her look, some critics took to social media to comment on her body, suggesting she needed to “lose weight.”
Selena didn’t let the trolls get to her, however. Following the award show, she and her sister Gracie took to Instagram Live to address the body-shamers.
Selena shared that she had enjoyed herself during the holidays and was feeling a little bit bigger than usual. “But we don’t care,” she added, with a laugh.
This isn’t the first time Selena has spoken out against body-shamers. Last April, she shared a TikTok video in which she discussed the pressure to be “skinny” and the constant criticism she receives about her weight.
“Honestly, I don’t care about my weight because people b— about it anyway,” she said in the video. “You’re too small, you’re too big, that doesn’t fit, meh meh meh meh.” Selena added that she was perfect the way she was and that the moral of the story was to “bye.”

Selena’s message is a powerful one and echoes the sentiment of many body-positive advocates.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s body is different and that there is no one “ideal” shape or size.
What matters most is feeling comfortable and confident in your own skin. Selena’s willingness to speak out against body-shamers is a reminder that we should all strive to be kind and accepting of ourselves and others, regardless of our physical appearance.
Body-shaming is a serious issue that affects many people, particularly women.
It can lead to feelings of self-doubt, low self-esteem, and even depression. It’s not okay to comment on someone else’s body, and it’s not okay to let someone else’s opinion of your body affect your own self-worth.
In the end, Selena’s appearance at the Golden Globe Awards was a powerful statement of self-confidence and body-positivity.
Her message is one that resonates with people of all ages and serves as a reminder that we should all strive to be kind and accepting of ourselves and others, regardless of our physical appearance.
Let’s all take Selena’s lead and work towards a more body-positive and accepting society.
