Selena Gomez Sparkles in Sequins and Feathers For Her 30th Birthday Bash

Selena Gomez entered a new decade in head-turning style. On Saturday evening, the "Only Murders in the Building" actor hosted a big party and wore the perfect birthday dress to ring in her 30s. While no photos were reportedly allowed at the festivities, some guests snuck in a few snaps, offering a glimpse at Gomez's glamorous look.

In one photo, the actor posed alongside friends while wearing a peach-colored sequined minidress with a fluffy feather trim. With its floaty A-line silhouette, sleeveless halter neck, and glittery sequins that sparkled with every movement, her dress had all the hallmarks of a striking birthday outfit. Amping up the retro glamour, she paired the playful 16Arlington dress with an updo and hoop earrings. Stars like Francia Raisa, Julia Michaels, Sofia Carson, and Ava Max were also in attendance.

On her actual birthday the day prior, Gomez went to dinner with Taylor Swift before meeting up with other friends at Nobu Malibu in Los Angeles. For the less formal celebration, she wore a pleated Gucci minidress with bell sleeves, which she teamed with blue Manolo Blahnik heels. Swift, on the other hand, chose a boho-chic red dress covered in a floral print.

Sparkly dresses are a popular choice for birthday celebrations, as Gomez and a few other stars have shown recently. Tommy Dorfman welcomed her 30s in a sheer, shiny minidress, while Simone Biles rocked a Y2K-inspired chain-mail dress for her 25th. Elsewhere, Millie Bobby Brown also donned a sequined periwinkle gown with a keyhole cutout and high leg slit for her 18th birthday.

Kim Kardashian still has her sister Khloé's 38th birthday vacation on her mind, per her latest Instagram post.

The snapshots showed the sisters splashing around in the water, as well as Kim taking a refreshing outdoor shower.

"House of Kards," Kim captioned the post, reminiscing about their luxurious vacation in Turks and Caicos earlier this month. Khloe quickly responded with a tease, writing, "I love a good post without approval lol" followed by a compliment, "Keeks you are BOMB!!!" Their bathing suits were unveiled in a recent Skims campaign that echoed early '80s glam (think big hair and bold makeup) and evoked the popular "Dynasty" soap opera.

While the rest of the family was also on the trip, so far, Kim and Khloé are the ones who have documented their adventures the most. Just two weeks ago, they twinned in matching black bikinis in a photo that Khloé shared. "We are still looking for that damn diamond," she wrote under the post, in reference to a memorable, now-iconic "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" episode, where Kim had a meltdown after losing a diamond earring during a beach vacation.

Posing alongside Owens in an Instagram post, the gymnast showcased a summery, all-white ensemble that featured a crop top with a criss cross neck and a row of vertical fringe cascading from the rounded neckline. Biles complemented the dramatic effect of the fringed top with a pair of high-waist, ankle-length trousers and classic brown wedges by Saint Laurent. The chic, slightly textured look perfectly matched the beachside location the couple was photographed in, as did Biles' long boxy braids with blonde highlights.

Halsey's Mesh Corset Top Comes With Attached Opera Gloves

All eyes were on Halsey at the launch party of her second beauty brand, AF94, on Thursday evening. The singer, who celebrated the line's debut with a carnival-themed extravaganza in Los Angeles, dressed in a bold, standout outfit for the occasion. Sold exclusively at Walmart, AF94 is an affordable "made-to-play" makeup brand aimed at younger shoppers.

Styled by Lyn Alyson, the founder wore a velvet and mesh corset with attached sheer gloves, paired with a matching midi skirt with a sky-high side slit resembling a sarong. The spotlight-stealing baby-blue set came from Spain-based brand Sketch-Y, while Halsey accessorized with Barbie-pink heels, a furry white purse, and rings from Pianegonda and Lilou Jewelry over the opera gloves. The "So Good" singer knows how to rock all the trends, from the low-rise silhouette to a corset bodice and gloves. Their glam mirrored the vibrancy of the look, as she sported red Bantu knots and a colorful eye look.

Whether it's a sheer lace dress at the Oscars afterparty or a cutout crystal jumpsuit at an award show, Halsey has never shied away from a daring outfit. Even for more casual events, the new mom manages to turn heads. While sitting courtside at a Lakers game with boyfriend Alev Aydin in November, they wore pants with dramatic hip cutouts and low-rise leather pants decorated with flames for a Harry Styles concert.
