Selena Gomez is the definition of an it girl, and her fashion choices are proof. From her very first Met Gala in 2014 to her look tonight at the 2024 Emmys, we are always keeping tabs on her looks. And even though we’re constantly in awe of everything she wears, fans were wondering why her dress at this year’s Emmys looks so familiar. If you have that same sense of déjà vu, we’re here to break it down for you.
Tonight, Selena Gomez stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren gown. The gown included a stellar halter neckline with silver detailing and a stunning train. Paired with matching silver jewelry, there’s no doubt this is a top notch Selena ‘fit. But, Instagram users were quick to comment that this seems like something she’s already worn before—and they were right.
If you’ve fully convinced yourself you’re losing it, let us reassure you that’s probably not the case. The reason why Selena’s Emmys dress looks so familiar, is because it is. Let’s be clear, she hasn’t worn this exact dress before. But, she has worn a dress like this one before. To be specific, the Valentino gown she wore to the 2023 Academy Museum Gala is shockingly similar.
Unlike the Ralph Lauren gown, Selena’s Valentino gown featured silver roses at the neckline and matching black gloves. But all the details aside, they still look very alike. Not only are both of the gowns black with silver detailing and of a similar silhouette—they were both worn with silver earrings, rings, and bracelets. We’re trying not to compare them, but it’s pretty hard not to.
While internet trolls complained that her 2024 Emmys look was a missed opportunity, we have to acknowledge how equally chic both of the gowns are. And even though we might’ve preferred a different look entirely for this year’s Emmys, it seems like Selena has landed on her signature look—whether it was intentional or not.
