Selena Gomez Has Never Looked Hotter

Selena Gomez Has Never Looked Hotter

‘Tis the season of mistletoe, egg nog, gift giving, and Jingle Balls, when every radio station across the country throws their version of a holiday party-- a concert with the hottest headliners of 2015. Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Tove Lo, One Direction, Ellie Goulding, two Jonas Brothers, and more are all hitting stages to perform their greatest hits of the past 365 days, with many of them getting into the spirit in the sartorial department. In one night in Dallas, Texas, the “Confident” singer wore a burgundy sheath with black booties that could be worn to an office soiree, and then changed into a Miley Cyrus-approved patent leather ensemble. The British boy band also hit up the Lone Star State and all of them displayed their signature styles (dandelion collared shirts and skinny scarfs included)

In Oakland, California at WiLD 94.9’s FM's bash, Gomez slayed in a Givenchy corset and booty shorts. While she’s had some major fashion hits as of late, from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show to the AMAs, this could possibly be her hottest look yet. Joe Jonas, a bomber jacket fan, donned a yellow and red colored one, while his brother got so hot signing “Jealous” that he threw off his leather jacket and sunglasses and finished his set in white T-shirt. 

There’s holiday party fashion — and then there’s holiday concert clothes.
