Selena Quintanilla was a beloved American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, model, and fashion designer. She rose to prominence in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a major figure in Tejano music. Selena’s style was not only influential in the realm of music but also in fashion. Selena’s style was a unique blend of glamour, confidence, and cultural pride. Even decades after her passing, she remains a fashion icon whose influence continues to be felt

Selena has many iconic looks that fans try to replicate from her daily style to her stage outfits. We have seen celebrities dress up as Selena on Halloween, some of them are Demi Lovato, America Ferrera, and many more. There is no doubt that Selena is still loved by many and her influence on style can still be seen.

Selena’s style is iconic because it represents more than just clothing, it embodies confidence and cultural pride. Selena took inspiration from other artists like Jannet Jackson, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. But Selena always tried to make her looks truly hers to the point that she would customize or even make some of her outfits. Selena stayed true to herself by wearing staple pieces like jeans, and leather jackets. She bedazzled them with rhinestones that looked like rhinestones, not diamonds because she didn’t want to pretend to wear anything else.

Although Selena has many iconic outfits we will focus on the outfit from her Bidi Bidi Bom Bom performance in 1994. This outfit showcases Selena’s style which is fully black, a body-hugging silhouette, and her accessories that give glamour which ties the outfit together.

How do you get this look?

Selena’s outfits often fuse traditional Mexican aesthetics with contemporary American fashion trends. Furthermore, the outfit is built of pieces that are still available today because of the timeless quality of her fashion choices.

All the pieces are from different places but here are some that I recommend to get the same look. Keep in mind that you can get these items from other places but you can still use these items to guide your purchases.

First, we need to start with the base outfit with this sheer t-shirt and a black bra.

Second, you can wear black skinny jeans and a high-rise. Many places and thrift stores have this style but this pair is a good example. The most important part about jeans is that they are form-fitting and you feel confident wearing them.

Selena’s outfits are often completed with a jacket. She pairs a leather moto jacket with this body-hugging base that is flirty to give the outfit a more edgy style.

Selena’s outfits are not complete with some dazzling accessories. In the video, she has a silver belt and we can’t see much of the detail. But in true Selena style, we need to add a bedazzled belt.

Let’s accessorize with this beautiful big earring that is very similar to the ones Selena is wearing.

Finally, the last touch is high-heeled boots.

Now you have all the pieces that make up the look remember that what made Selena’s style iconic is her confidence. Wear the look with pride, and confidence and stay true to yourself and then you will truly be like Selena.
