Selena Gomez Covers WWD’s Special “Beauty Inc” Issue
Selena Gomez is on the cover of WWD! The star is on the cover of WWD’s new “Beauty Inc” special issue.
In the issue, Gomez talks staying away from social media, her Rare Beauty line, talking her mental health with Miley Cyrus, lessons she has learned over the years, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.
On continuing to have her assistance post on her social media: “…that’s a huge, significant part of why I feel like I’ve been as healthy as I have been. I’m completely unaware of actually what’s going on in pop culture, and that makes me really happy. And maybe that doesn’t make everybody else happy, but for me, it’s really saved my life.”
On speaking out about her mental health on Miley Cyrus’ Bright Minded Instagram Live: “There was a window in media that the media would be shamed for being rude to someone who’s open about getting help. And that was a blessing, because I feel like much earlier on, they would have taken advantage of that. But ever since I’ve been open about my own journey, I have people come up to me all the time and tell me about what they’ve walked through. Or just people that have completely grown up with me, or exactly my age and watched Disney and now are going to be 30. It’s weird. It’s life. And I love connecting to people. If I have this platform, I might as well use it for something good, because that’s what keeps me going.”
On the biggest lesson she has learned over the years: “It feels good to finally not care as much as I did. I think of how many years I wasted just caring so much about what people thought, and it was just suffocating. And I think I wasted time doing that. What I love so far about getting older is that I’m starting to just really be happy with who I am, know what I want and know what I don’t want.”
You can read her full interview here. Not going to lie, I would love a Rare Beauty Store. I love the products so much, so here’s hoping that comes to fruition.
