Selena Gomez celebrated her 31st birthday with a bang! The singer and actress took to Instagram to show herself off wearing a stunning strapless minidress adorned with fringes and rose appliques. She paired the sultry look with black strappy stilettos that seemed to be adorned with roses on the back of the heels, complemented by silver hoop earrings. The star-studded party included appearances from her famous friends, such as Paris Hilton, Karol G, and music producer Benny Blanco of ‘I Can’t Get Enough.’ Notably, superstar singer Christina Aguilera also attended the party and shared snaps with Selena she took during the special day. Safe to say, the carousel of photos took the internet by storm, as it currently sits at 13.1M likes since it was shared five days ago.
In a heartwarming gesture, the ‘Calm Down’ star has also been celebrating her close friend Francia Raisa’s birthday, who famously donated her kidney to Selena during her health crisis. Selena shared three sweet photos of her and her friend on social media to give her a shoutout to her 426M Instagram followers, putting to rest all of those rumors that the two girlfriends were not on speaking terms anymore following her kidney transplant.

The Rare Beauty founder made sure to turn everyone’s heads for her birthday party, whether they were in attendance or not. The Wizards Of Waverly Place icon pulled out a red micromini dress from Bottega Veneta that was full of intricate details. It consisted of long fringes throughout the piece, leather flowers pasted all over, and a strapless, tight fit, showing off all her curves! She matched the dress with black stilettos that were embellished with red floral rosettes on the back, flaunting her long legs.

The makeup mogul took things to the next level by styling her hair in a messy 90s updo with a side-swept bang that framed her face. Gomez’s nails were done by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik, who gave her a Barbie-pink manicure.
Her makeup was also 90s-inspired, as she put on a smokey gray and black eyeshadow with a smoked-out wing that gave a fox-eye look, brown lip liner with gloss at the center, and a coral blush to tie the whole glam together! Selena has seriously inspired us with this look!
Naturally, fans flooded the comments section to express their admiration for her birthday ensemble. Comments included “Selena Gomez getting arrested for causing the rise in temperatures!” “Mother is mothering.” “Ugh, you look amazing.” We totally agree!

A few days post-party, Selena delighted her fandom by sharing heartwarming photos of her best friend and kidney donor, Francia Raisa. Back in 2017, Raisa generously donated her kidney to Selena after discovering she was a perfect match. However, swirling rumors about a fallout between the two left fans puzzled and curious about the reason behind it. But today, Selena gracefully put those speculations to rest as she wished her friend a happy birthday on Instagram. The candid pictures show Selena and Francia sipping wine and beautifully dolled up in random throwbacks from the past. Her caption said, “Happiest of birthdays to this special human being. No matter where life takes us, I love you. @franciaraisa.”
