Selena Gomez's 'Ugly' Barrette Is the Perfect Response to Trolls
Sometimes, a hair accessory is worth a thousand words… at least it can be if your name is Selena Gomez.
While in New York for Fashion Week, the singer stepped out wearing an eye-catching, bedazzled barrette in her hair, that clearly read “UGLY.” The tongue-in-cheek accessory was pinned onto her braided pony.
Check out the look, below.
The rest of her look was equally statement-making: a plus leather jacket, red-and-white gingham pants, and black pumps. But it was the barrette that really stole the show.
Though Gomez hasn’t addressed her choice of accessory, people on social media speculate that it’s a sartorial response to negative comments made of the singer. Most recently, Dolce & Gabbana’s Stefano Gabbana called Gomez some hurtful words on Instagram, reportedly responding to the ensuing backlash by mocking her even more.
Gomez chose to never respond to the designer publicly. But, if she’s using the backdrop of Fashion Week to send a subtle message to her detractors, it’s coming across loud and clear—and chic.
