Ah, there it is. The effortless style that feels less like a performance and more like a whisper. While we often see Selena Gomez in a “couples style moment” of matching suede with Benny Blanco, or in twinning moments with Taylor Swift, it is in these quiet, everyday outings that her personal style truly shines. On August 5, 2025, spotted exiting a cooking class at Eataly in Los Angeles, she gave us a masterclass in what a discerning eye might call “quiet luxury”—and it’s a look that’s perfectly, charmingly her.
The foundation of the ensemble was an exquisite black cardigan and top set, edged with a delicate cream trim that felt utterly timeless. This isn’t just a sweater, darling; it’s a nod to the effortless chic of Parisian style icons, a subtle echo of the kind of je ne sais quoi
that is so often imitated but rarely perfected. She paired this with cropped, dark-wash jeans, a choice that grounds the look in an accessible, American ease. It is this blend—this beautiful tension between European polish and casual confidence—that makes her a style icon.
And the details, they are everything. On her feet, she wore the Jacquemus Les Slingbacks Cubisto H
. It’s a shoe that is both artful and modern, bringing that signature playful edge of French design into an otherwise demure outfit. On her finger, a subtle glint from her Abril Barret Engagement Ring
was the perfect final touch, a sparkling promise of her upcoming September nuptials. And, for someone who recently told Vogue that her new Rare Eau de Parfum
is deeply personal to this time in her life—”I got engaged, celebrated my birthday”—every piece of this look feels intentional, personal, and utterly à propos
.
It’s a simple look, yes, but it speaks volumes. In a world of fast-fashion noise, her outfit is a gentle reminder of the power of well-chosen pieces and a nod to the craftsmanship of a designer like Jacquemus. It’s an approach to dressing that says, I know who I am, and I am comfortable here.
So, while we might be getting biscuits and gravy instead of a traditional wedding cake, we are getting a masterclass in elegant, everyday dressing… and isn’t that just as sweet?
