Selena Gomez has been making headlines recently, particularly during the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where she promoted her new film Emilia Pérez, a queer crime musical in which she stars alongside Zoe Saldaña and Karla Sofía Gascón. During the festival, Gomez expressed her thrilling experience acting in Spanish and discussed her desire for more time to refine her performance, emphasizing her gratitude for the opportunity.
The film, which features Gomez as Jessi Del Monte, a transgender Mexican cartel leader’s wife, is slated to hit select theaters on November 1 and will be available for streaming on Netflix starting November 13. Critics have already praised the film, giving it an impressive 89% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the realm of her personal life, Gomez has also recently reached billionaire status thanks to her successful beauty line, Rare Beauty, and has stated that acting remains her primary passion. She is currently nominated for an Emmy for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, showcasing the impressive scope of her talents.
At TIFF, she impressed fans and critics alike not just with her performance but also with her fashion choices. She sported two stunning black dresses during the event—first a tailored midi version for the TIFF Tribute Awards, and later an elegant mid-calf Saint Laurent dress with striking feather trim. These looks, paired thoughtfully with matching accessories and hairstyles, emphasized her evolving style.
On a lighter note, during the festival, Gomez had fun engaging with the media and responding to jokes about her co-stars possibly contributing to her next album, playfully noting that she hasn’t even begun working on one yet.
As she moves into this exciting new part of her career, her fans can’t wait for her upcoming movie and the new season of *Only Murders in the Building*. In this show, she shows off her talent as an actress and keeps her strong presence on social media.
