Watch Selena Gomez Dress Like a ’60s New Wave French Muse in Her New Music Video
Whether or not Selena Gomez’s new song “Back to You” is about Justin Bieber as most people on the internet are speculating, the song's just-released music video is clearly inspired by a more highbrow reference. The Jean-Luc Godard-indebted clip finds Gomez perfectly slipping into the role of bonne vivante with a chic, New Wave-influenced wardrobe to boot.
The song is from the season-two soundtrack of Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, which Gomez executive-produces. In contrast to the show’s dramatic high school setting, however, the music video takes place in a much more fantastical world. It starts with Gomez, dressed in a vintage feather-trimmed green sequined high-neck dress, locking eyes with a sharply suited man, whom many claim resemble Bieber (well, maybe it’s just the shaggy haircut), and they hop into a convertible and end up frolicking in a bucolic pasture. Gomez wears an ensemble fit for the French countryside: a vintage white skirt and a sleeveless orange and yellow crop top. Watch the video below, and take Gomez’s twist on iconic ’60s French girl style as some summer style inspiration.
