Selena Gomez, the renowned actress and singer, made a striking appearance at the 2024 Emmys, captivating the audience with her fashion choice. Wearing an Oscar de la Renta sheer and burgundy sparkling gown, Gomez became the center of both admiration and critique as fans were divided over her outfit. The "Only Murders in the Building" actress' ensemble, which created the illusion of being covered in branches, has become a hot topic in the fashion world.
The gown, adorned with 450,000 sequins, showcased a blend of glamour and artistic expression. Complementing her look, Gomez wore a Tiffany & Co. bird-shaped necklace, embellished with diamonds, pink sapphires, and an impressive 35-carat morganite stone. This exquisite piece, along with her various diamond rings, including one with an eight-carat morganite stone, added to the allure of her attire.
On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the response to Gomez's look was a mix of praise and criticism. While some fans were enamored, calling her "stunning" and "gorgeous," others felt the dress did not do justice to the star's beauty. Comments ranged from appreciating the idea behind the dress to disapproving of the dress's lining and undergarments. One user even humorously referred to the dress as making Gomez look like she was "attacked by kelp."

This appearance comes after Gomez stirred controversy at the Golden Globes, where she was seen gossiping with close friend Taylor Swift. Initially, there was speculation that Gomez was discussing Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, but she later clarified that the conversation was about two of her friends who had hooked up. This clarification came amidst heightened scrutiny of Gomez's personal life, especially following her confirmation of a relationship with Benny Blanco, who accompanied her to the Emmys but did not walk the red carpet with her.
