Celebrities, they’re just like us. Celebrities, they’re just like us. As it turns out, they are also embarrassed by their younger selves, but the difference is that their awkward stages were blasted across the Internet for the world to see. Selena Gomez never really went through an awkward stage (she has always been fabulous), but she did recently take the opportunity to poke fun at one of her red carpet interviews from back in 2007.
On Thursday night, the singer posted a TikTok with audio from the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party 14 years ago. Selena arrived to the event in black shorts, black patterned tights, an iconic graphic tee featuring the earth that says “hotter than I should be,” and a big, black statement belt. She wore her hair pulled back with some added blue streaks in it.
In Selena’s TikTok, she uses audio from the event where she’s talking about her hair choices. “I’ve got some blue going on,” Selena lip synchs while playing with a colorful wig. The interviewer then asks where her inspiration for the hair came from. “I don’t know,” baby Sel said. “I like a little edge and a little pop in my hair so I wanted to add something different especially for the Teen Vogue party.”
“To my younger self: you’re not cool bro,” Selena captioned the video. This isn’t the first time Selena has embraced her former antics. Back in May Sel posted a hilarious throwback video of her singing “Don’t Go Knockin’ on My Door” by Britney Spears. “The hustle was real,” she captioned the post.
Honestly, I am all for these baby Sel throwbacks. Keep ’em coming!
