Selena Gomez’s sculptural Rodarte dress features a high slit

Selena Gomez is returning to her Disney roots. Last night she celebrated the world premiere of Disney Channel’s Wizards Beyond Waverly Place at the El Capitan Theater in Los Angeles, bringing her back into the universe that shot her to stardom in the ’00s. The new show is a continuation of the beloved series Wizards of Waverly Place (which premiered 17 years ago). Gomez will make a cameo in the new series, which stars David Henrie. He appeared alongside Gomez as Justin Russo WOWP‘s original run.

Gomez arrived on the red carpet wearing a sculptural strapless gown by Rodarte that featured a sweeping, architectural bodice with a tiny peplum and allover sequins. The skirt included the same sparkling red sequins and also had a high leg slit that cut up to Gomez’s thighs. She completed the look with coordinating red shoes and stacks of silver rings and drop earrings from Messika. She popped a necklace to let the gown’s intricate neckline shine and wore her signature dark hair in a long lob style parted down the middle with the ends grazing her collarbone.

The beauty founder kept her makeup subtle and glowing, but added a pop of color with a dark manicure. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place airs on Disney Channel starting October 29, and new episodes can be streamed on Disney+ the following day.

Before the premiere, Gomez shared a video showing her wearing the same dress as she went to cast her ballot. The TikTok clip included Gomez posing near a ballot box and a blue heart emoji. The addition gave a subtle nod to Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party’s penchant for the color blue.

“It’s time to vote,” she captioned the post, which was set to Chappell Roan’s viral track “Hot to Go.”
