In a particularly striking black-and-white image, she simply captioned "Real," showcasing her natural self, freckles and all, to her vast audience. This act of vulnerability was met with waves of support from both fans and fellow celebrities.
Nicola Peltz, Selena’s friend and fellow celebrity, praised the photo, commenting, “you’re so beautiful 💖💖💖.” Likewise, singer Camila Cabello showed her support, exclaiming, “Good god woman have mercy” on the post. Fans also rallied behind Selena, with one expressing, “YOURE SO REAL FOR THIS 👀” and another affectionately labeling her a “Glowing Angel”.
In addition to the visual statement, Gomez has been vocal about her personal struggles with self-esteem and mental health. At a recent SXSW panel, she discussed the transformative impact of self-compassion, a theme explored deeply in her Apple TV+ documentary, "My Mind & Me."
"I work in the weirdest industry," Selena revealed in her speech at the SXSW panel. "I felt like I didn't fit in."
