In early October, Selena Gomez made a special appearance at Sephora to mark a generous initiative—every purchase of Rare Beauty products within 24 hours went directly to the Rare Impact Fund. We love a philanthropic queen!
And we also love a stylish queen. At the event, Gomez wowed on camera alongside several influencers, including Aditya Madiraju, a self-proclaimed “makeup nerd.” In a video, Madiraju complimented her look, saying, “That fit is amazing,” to which she replied, “Thank you! I wanted to look very, like, boss woman”—and she absolutely delivered.
Inspired by her chic boss woman vibe, we’ve decided to recreate Gomez’s powerful look on a budget. Because who says we can’t boss on a budget?
Disclosure: Every product is independently selected by our editors. Items purchased through our links may earn us a commission.
First off, let’s discuss pricing for her original look. I did some digging and found an Instagram page called @styleforselenagomez, a fan account dedicated to her looks. They had generously tagged all the designers she wore that day, including brands like Khaite, YSL, Jimmy Choo, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry.
The total cost of the fit was $5,840 (sans the YSL bag)! And while that might not seem like much to Selena Gomez, it’s a few months’ rent for us.
So, I’ve recreated this fit under two different ranges — one is for when you want to splurge, and the other for when you want to be extra budget savvy.
First up, we have the splurge at 95% off, which comes out to just under $300.

2. White Trousers
It’s giving modern, sophisticated, stylish boss woman. Yep, the one everyone wants to be! We’re loving these trousers with the silver hardware zipper detail. And the best part? It’s Latina-owned! If you haven’t already checked out Karla Deras’ brand, The Line By K, it’s a must-have for your wardrobe.

3. Studded Belt
This belt is a near-perfect dupe of the Khaite style Gomez wore during her recent appearance. While it looked stunning on her, we wouldn’t recommend pairing it with the Line By K white trousers—the bold zipper detail deserves to shine on its own!
So, while this belt is optional for this outfit, it’s an absolute must-have as a versatile closet staple.

4. Patent Black Pumps (Or Mules!)
A black pump is a staple in any boss woman’s wardrobe—timeless, versatile, and effortlessly chic. Whether paired with white trousers and a black top for a sharp, polished look or styled countless other ways, it’s always a winning choice. And these stunners with an extra strap and an open back make the fit look even more edgy and cool.
