Selena Gomez was spotted grocery shopping in Malibu on Tuesday, dressed in a relaxed ensemble of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. The 29-year-old music artist opted for a comfortable look, complete with fuzzy slip-on shoes, as she walked across the parking lot of a Pavilions supermarket. Just days before, Selena had visited the White House to discuss mental health. She wore her dark hair in a loose bun and chose to go makeup-free. Her outfit consisted of a large black sweater with a pullover hoodie, paired with slouchy grey sweatpants that featured writing down one leg. A black leather luxury purse with gold hardware was worn crossbody over her torso. Selena completed her casual look with fluffy shoes that had a tiny platform, showing off her black pedicure. The musician carried a shopping bag full of groceries to her car with two hands, enjoying the seaside area.
The singer made a noteworthy appearance at the White House in Washington, DC, where she attended the Mental Health Youth Action Forum. Her primary intention was to promote mental health awareness and continue her advocacy efforts. The forum was attended by young leaders who are pioneering novel ways to support mental health in the US.
Selena, who founded the Rare Impact Fund nonprofit organization, openly shared her personal struggles with anxiety and bipolar disorder. She believes that talking about these issues makes them easier to deal with. In her own words, “When you acknowledge your problems, they become less overwhelming.”
She explained that discovering the root of her mental health issues gave her a sense of liberation, allowing her to accept and cope with her situation. This highlights the importance of openly discussing mental health without judgment or shame. Additionally, she emphasized the need for mental health services to be accessible to people of all backgrounds, regardless of age, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. Furthermore, she urged individuals and companies to take action towards removing the stigma surrounding mental health by providing resources and programs that are easily accessible, particularly for young people who require the most assistance.
Selena’s most recent social media activity was on Monday where she uploaded two photos of herself donning a fluffy Prada jacket. In one of the pictures, she playfully put her finger in her mouth and captioned it with ‘Maybe she’s just lol.’
