Selena Gomez Says She Always Avoids This Style Mistake

last updated 17 August 2016

It's no secret that we're huge admirers of Selena Gomez's style. For starters, we marvel at the way she can make a '90s outfit look cool and are envious of the way she compiles airport looks like a pro. So what's her secret? In a new interview with Vogue, the Louis Vuitton campaign girl revealed her style strategy and the one faux pas she makes sure to avoid: looking like she's trying too hard.

“I like to find things that are unconventional and make them look classic,” Gomez told Vogue, “because if I’m forcing something, you can just tell.” Her stylist, Kate Young, explained how Gomez manages to put her personal stamp on everything she wears. “Vuitton especially can be tricky—it’s futuristic; it has straps all over it," Young told Vogue. "But Selena’s version looks young and cool and less conceptual. She makes fashion suit her demeanor.” So there you have it: Don't force a look and always make sure to put your own spin on everything you wear—et voilà: You're on your way to Gomez-worthy style.
