Selena Gomez Hits The Beach In A Strapless One-Piece While Vacationing With Friends

The Only Murders In The Building star has been living her best life over the last few months after getting married to her partner, Benny Blanco,  going on trips, and attending award shows in lavish dresses.

 

This week, she was photographed in Mexico, vacationing with some friends and hitting the beach. Although it's unclear exactly what the vacation was for, Selena got to enjoy some bonding time with pals, all while enjoying some sunny weather and lavish accommodations. At one point, paparazzi caught photos of her beachside in a super summer-coded look.

 

The pop singer was seen wearing a strapless, one-piece bathing suit that appeared to be white with a light pink striped and floral pattern. The top of the suit's back had a ruffled lining, adding an extra feminine element. She paired the swimsuit with a classic straw hat that allowed her short black bob to poke out, and she was also photographed sunbathing in a loungechair with some stylish cat-eye sunglasses. You can see the photos of her here!

Selena's Fans Cheer Her On & Defend Her From Body Shamers On Social Media

Like most celebrity swimsuit photos, after the paparazzi snaps of the 33-year-old were uploaded on social media platforms, they quickly went viral, and both fans and other internet users began weighing in on her vacation attire.

 

There were some critical users who felt the need to comment on the "Who Says" singer's body, writing things like her look was "giving grandma vibes," and even added digs related to her past relationship, like, "And they say @lilbieber chose the wrong girl."

 

However, many of those comments were drowned out by Selena's supportive fan base, who cheered her on for showing off and embracing her "natural beauty," as well as proving that women in Hollywood can have "real bodies."

 

"So happy, she looks like any other woman in the world," commented a fan on Instagram.

 

"Real bodies still exist in Hollywood," added another.

 

"Naturally beautiful as always and unbothered," wrote a user.

 

"She is happy," added a fan. "Leave her alone. Dang!"

 

We'll be curious to see if the Rare Beauty founder decides to share some snaps of her and her friends in their bathing suits on vacation, but one thing is for sure - her fans will be there to hype her up in the comments.
