First things first - if you haven't watched the Disney+ show Only Murders In The Building starring Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, I can singlehandedly confirm that you are missing out.

The mystery show which started in 2021 has been a hit from the get-go, and now, finally, global powerhouse and style icon Selena has received her first Emmy nomination for her role as Mabel Mora in the series.

Selena looked utterly radiant in a bold orange dress by Australian label Anna Quan. The midi dress, called the 'Eleni' features an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline and flattering ruching across the midriff. The 100% cotton dress is the perfect, versatile summer piece, whether you're heading to a wedding and pair with court heels, flat sandals to wear for a beachside lunch, or, of course, to wear whilst eating a slice of her cake after receiving a well-earned Emmy nomination.

Moreover, colour experts at Pantone made 'sun orange' one of their summer colours for SS24, meaning Selena's luminous look is also bang on trend for right now.

In her current style agenda Selena is pretty impartial when it comes to having a classic all-black dressing moment or opting for bold colours (take her 2024 Cannes and Golden Globes 2024 looks as the perfect examples). Still, historically she has favoured dopamine-inducing hues, and orange has always been of her go-to's.

At the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, Selena also celebrated yet another milestone month as she won her first-ever award from the event, earning the best actress accolade for her role in Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Pérez.
