After her breakup with long-time love Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez is making a strong comeback. She recently shared a video of herself in a bikini along with an uplifting message about beauty. The 25-year-old pop star confidently showed off her curves, and in the caption, she emphasized that taking care of herself is a personal choice, not a way to seek validation from others.
Unleashing her carefree spirit, Selena Gomez, a 25-year-old pop sensation, shared an energetic video of herself having a great time with friends aboard a luxurious yacht in Sydney. In the video, she directly addresses her critics, challenging the notion of the beauty myth that holds women hostage to unattainable standards of physical perfection that breed feelings of hopelessness, self-consciousness, and self-hatred. With fearless confidence, Selena flaunts her figure in a revealing bathing suit, hardly leaving anything to the imagination, while the soothing melody of Alvvays’ Dreams Tonite plays in the background. The footage captures Selena surrounded by her friends, all indulging in some much-needed relaxation. While sporting her signature dark locks in a messy bun, Selena effortlessly lets the loose strands cascade over her petite shoulders, showcasing her natural beauty.
Waxing eloquent, she shed light on ‘The beauty illusion,’ an all-consuming fixation with flawless physical appearance that ensnares contemporary women in an unrelenting spiral of despondency, self-awareness, and self-loathing, thanks to society’s unattainable standards of perfection.
Star: The popular singer confidently flaunted her stunning figure in a small bikini in the video. She shared the empowering message, “I choose to prioritize my own well-being because I want to, not to prove anything to others.”
Accompanied by her friends, they had a playful and joyful time on the tip of the boat, throwing their arms out and embracing each other.
Recently, the 25-year-old singer from Texas revealed a noticeable scar on her inner right thigh. This scar was the result of a second emergency procedure she had to undergo after her 2017 kidney transplant.
Last year, during a vacation in Mexico, Selena proudly displayed her significant surgical scar for the first time. The kidney transplant was necessitated by her battle with lupus, and her dear friend Francia Raisa generously donated one of her kidneys to Selena.
Flying under the radar: Towards the conclusion of the previous summer, Selena publicly disclosed her covert, life-saving kidney transplant, which involved her closest companion, Francia Raisa (pictured on the left, both lying in their hospital beds in September).
Although the marking on Selena’s leg is perceived to be a result of a subsequent emergency procedure on one of her arteries that immediately followed the transplant.
As we understand it now, Selena was promptly rushed back into surgery to extract a vein from her inner thigh on the right side in order to construct a new artery, which would assist in stabilizing the hyperactive kidney.
Selena’s vacation occurs precisely one week following the news that she and Justin have terminated their relationship.
Selena and Justin, who had an on-and-off relationship from 2011 to 2015, reconciled in November and had inseparable companionship until March.
Impressive: Brimming with confidence, the seductive vocalist of the hit song Bad Liar stuns in a barely-there swimsuit while the mesmerizing melody of Alvvays’ soothing tune Dreams Tonite sets the mellow mood.
Hair tale:
With her signature ebony locks elegantly gathered in a casually tousled bun, delicate strands gracefully draped over her petite shoulders, she effortlessly exuded a sense of poise and style.
According to sources, the talented artist behind the beloved hit “Hands To Myself” is currently taking a much-needed break from the limelight. This temporary respite aims to help her navigate the aftermath of her recent breakup and also reconcile with her mother, who was partially blamed for the relationship’s demise.
“She is taking this time to focus on herself,” an insider revealed to ET. “This isn’t the first instance where she has felt the need to do so.”
Navigating through her recent struggles in the public eye, especially the scrutiny surrounding her personal life with Justin and her strained relationship with her mother Mandy Teefey, hasn’t been easy for Gomez, the source added.
The well-being of the delicate songstress has become a top priority for her, including a strong desire to mend her bond with her mother. The source emphasized, “Repairing her relationship with her mom is of utmost importance to Selena.”
As she embarks on this journey, Gomez also aims to unravel the complexities of living a fulfilling life amidst the constant glare of the spotlight, pondering if it’s even possible to strike a balance between the two.
Embrace the moment: With playfulness, her buddies gathered on the edge of the boat, reaching out their arms to share heartfelt hugs with one another.
Moving on: This recent sight was spotted just a week since rumors started circulating about Selena and Justin Bieber calling it quits on their relationship.
