It’s one of those changes that make you look twice.
Selena Gomez has shown different stages of her body over the years, and every time she undergoes a physical change, social media puts her under the microscope again. This time, what drew the most attention was how slim she looks and how much her face has changed as well.
The singer has spoken before about how uncomfortable she finds it when people constantly comment on her weight. She even publicly explained that her lupus medication can cause fluctuations and fluid retention, which is why her body does not always look the same.
She has also acknowledged that those comments do affect her and that it bothers her that women’s physical appearance is analyzed with an intensity that is rarely applied in the same way to men.
That is why, even though the change is noticeable, Selena has insisted several times that her priority remains her health, not meeting a particular image.
The before-and-after may be surprising, but behind those photos is a woman who has spent years asking for her body to stop being a topic of conversation.
