1. Houston Alamodome, Texas (February 26, 1995)
If you’ve apparent "Selena," you apperceive what concert I’m talking about: a brace of months afore her death, Selena showed up in a sequined jumpsuit and performed at the Alamodome for about 67,000 fans, authoritative it the better accident there to date (until 2001). It was recreated (arguably) altogether by Jennifer Lopez in the biopic, and so was said jumpsuit: with cut-outs, sparkles, and a disposable jacket, it looked beeline from the Balmain S/S 2015 collection.
2. Covering Coat With A Billowy Blouse
There’s alone one being who can get abroad with a shirt that puffy, and it isn’t Jerry Seinfeld.

At one point, she wears a atramentous arduous top with brownish overalls (or something), while this time, she autonomous for covering and a bustier. And what makes it alike added absorbing is that this was aloof one in a continued band of looks that couldn’t be added altered than the one afore it.
4. Embellished Bustier
Lest we balloon that moment in accurate history back Selena (played by Jennifer Lopez) removes her denim anorak to acknowledge a beaded bustier, abundant to Edward James Olmos’ abhorrence and dismay. In a word, it’s the greatest. (Although technically, that’s two words.) And it’s additionally allotment of the foundation of this year’s bounce looks: Donna Karan’s crop acme alive in the spirit as Selena’s signature look, while Sibling paid admiration to aggregate from the fit to the embellishments.
5. The Embellished Newsboy Hat (And Analogous Belt)

We’ve already articulate the praises of Selena’s adeptness to adorn (and cull off said embellishments), but now let us focus on a top so busy it looks like it’s been pulled from the racks of Saint Laurent’s bounce collection. Ultimately, what this attending succeeds in is evoking the singer’s fearlessness: she was adventurous and loud in the best admirable way, and her adeptness for colour and breeding reflected that. Also, if anybody tries to acquaint you this isn’t the best '90s accouterments in the world, cut them out of your life.
7. The Grammys Dress
Wearing a admirable white (and/or potentially gold) clothes to the 1994 Grammys, Selena already afresh anchored herself as a appearance force (because again, lest we balloon appearance was a austere passion), with a adorned dress that was absorbing not aloof for its embellishments (and shine), but for its geometric, Flintstones-like collar. Aloof amuse no one acquaint me the dress is absolutely atramentous and dejected because this isn’t the time for that.
8. Her Atramentous And Red TMA Ensemble
Another allotment altogether recreated by Jennifer Lopez, Selena’s 1993 two-piece was a Lycra manufacturer's dream -- and/or the afflatus abaft Tom Ford’s bounce pieces.

Admittedly, yes, we’ve covered Selena’s affection for leather. But admitting her risks with fabrics and texture, she didn’t tend to abrasion a lot of beastly book (minus this vest). However, her access to the book consistently kept it wearable and not intimidating: by bond it with neutrals or jeans, she fabricated it fun and beneath scary. (Even back she wore it on a hat.)
10. Overalls
To be honest, this is aloof me aggravating to prove that overalls are the best all-important appearance allotment you can own. (So simple! So relaxed!) If Selena can abrasion them, again why can’t you?
