Selena Gomez is undergoing a style transformation just in time for the release of her new album, Revival — and it's definitely not subtle. The singer opened up to WWD about her latest looks, many of which she credits to her stylist of late, Kate Young.
But just because Selena's getting a hand when it comes to figuring out this whole fashion thing, doesn't mean she's not enamored by it. "It's very addicting," Selena said of the industry, naming Dior and Louis Vuitton as her favorite designers. We couldn't be more excited to see Selena debut elevated outfits each time she steps out — after all, they give us major shopping inspiration.
Read on to learn what we can expect to see from the star as she gears up for her tour, and find out the one word Selena hopes you'd use to describe her new look.

She's Ditching the Combat Boots
"I wore combat boots for two albums, then I went into more of the sparkle and glamour."

She’s Working With a New Stylist
"The older that I’ve become, I’ve felt very connected to fashion, especially this past year working with [stylist] Kate Young and creating these relationships with people that I never had before . . . When I see something on the rack or on the model, I’ll literally say like, ‘No. That is not something I will wear.’ She’ll just hold it and sit there until I put it on. I like that — it’s like a trainer, in a way."

The 1 Word She’d Use to Sum Up Her Look: Sophisticated
"This album, how it really ties together, is it is just me. I gave myself to this album and this music, so I wanted it to be very sophisticated. If I could sum up my look in one word, I would hope that it would be sophisticated."

She Loves Dior and Louis Vuitton
"I love Dior . . . and, of course, Louis Vuitton. I’ve honestly never met someone like Nicolas. He has a really fresh perspective on life in general."

She's Good Friends With LV Designer Nicolas Ghesquière
"When I went to my first Paris Fashion Week, I had been invited to the Louis Vuitton show by Nicolas. We met there. It was all organic and fun for me. My first big career purchase when I was, like, 17 was a Louis Vuitton laptop bag. Now, seeing the exhibit [Louis Vuitton’s “Series 3” exhibition in London], it’s exciting because I feel like I kind of know it. It’s weird — it’s almost like something you grow up with and you just know a little bit about it. Now that I’m immersed in it, it’s kind of insane."

She Thinks the Fashion World Is Addicting
"I have to admit, at first, it was really overwhelming and I would get stressed about putting things together. Now, it’s like trying to figure out a puzzle piece, and I love that . . . There are so many things that I don’t even know and would love to discover more about. I was so upset I had to leave [Europe] before Paris Fashion Week, but then I was like . . . 'Oh wait, my album is coming out.'"
