Selena Gomez's Jeans Outfit Looks Ultra-Rich Because of This Simple Reason

Selena Gomez has stepped onto quite a few red carpets in recent weeks, so it's understandable that she'd want to wear an easy, comfortable outfit when she can. The press tour for her new film Emilia Pérez has been lengthy, and between the red carpet–worthy dresses, she's been mixing things up with more casual looks. The latest example of this came earlier this week when Gomez attended an event for the film in Los Angeles. For the occasion, she wore a jeans outfit that looked chic for this reason: She opted to wear dark denim. An inky, dark wash is always polished and rich looking, and Gomez got the memo.
To complement her wide-leg jeans, Gomez wore a black bodysuit and velvet blazer with a classic leather belt and suede pumps. The outfit was supreme from head to toe, but it was the inky wash of the jeans that really elevated it. (Not only that, both her bodysuit and jeans are affordable finds from Banana Republic.) A pair in a lighter wash would've certainly made for a great outfit, but it wouldn't have looked as expensive as the one Gomez actually wore.
On that note, keep scrolling to shop some of my favorite pairs of dark jeans on the internet.
