Famous for sharing her beauty tips with fans, Selena Gomez recently spilled the beans about her infamous self-tanning mishap at the 2018 Met Gala in a makeup tutorial posted on Vogue’s official YouTube channel. With a light-hearted tone, the 29-year-old singer spoke about how she and her team had wanted to darken her complexion for the event and initially, the tanner looked great. However, the color gradually became darker and darker throughout the night, and Gomez found herself looking like a completely different person! Despite feeling self-conscious about her appearance at such a high-profile event, the “Come Get It” singer found humor in her cosmetic blunder and made light of the situation.
As I was attending the Met Gala, one of the most prestigious and beautiful events around, I found myself strolling around trying to look my best. However, when I saw a picture of myself taken during the event, I quickly realized that my tanning lotion had made me look more orange than I had intended. Despite feeling nervous about being criticized for my appearance, I decided to brush it off and even posted a funny video on my Instagram account after the event.
According to the source, Selena Gomez had herself recorded by her security team as she hurriedly left the Met Gala. She stated that her initial reaction was to leave the event as soon as possible. In her Instagram post, she mentioned that she was heading to her car and planned to upload the video online. The clip was intended to be a humorous way of showing her reaction to her Met Gala photos. In fact, she joked in the video description that it was the best thing she could do after seeing them. The insider added that the singer was actually making fun of herself for her appearance by sharing the footage.
They explained that she was simply responding to those who commented on her hair and tan, and decided to make a joke out of it.
As per the report, the singer was quite fond of her outfit for the night and had picked it out just before the Met Gala. Apparently, she had two options to choose from and finalized her decision on the day before the event. The gown was close to her heart and she was really excited to wear it.
