Selena Gomez isn’t letting an Instagram hack keep her from sharing cute pics. One week after all of her Insta posts were deleted and briefly replaced with nude photos of ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, Gomez has (thankfully) regained full control of her account and is back to her old habit of posting sweet snaps of The Weeknd.

On Tuesday morning, the “Fetish” singer uploaded a photo of her and The Weeknd (a.k.a. Abel Tesfaye) lounging in a restaurant booth. In the pic, Gomez wears a black T-shirt, gold hoop earrings, and a gold watch and smiles at the camera, while her BF keeps his arm around her but stares off into the distance at what we can only assume is a waiter approaching the booth with a tray full of food. (And as Elle points out, it seems Gomez even changed her phone background to a pic from the same night.)

The post captures just one adorable moment from the multiday lovefest the duo shared in New York City over Labor Day Weekend. According to Entertainment Tonight, Gomez, 25, and Tesfaye, 27, sported coordinating all-black ensembles while walking around NYC’s SoHo neighborhood and eating at Lure Fishbar on Saturday, then were spotted leaving high-end eatery Nobu together on Monday. Also on Saturday, fans spotted the pair playing with dogs at a pet store in the city, where the pop stars climbed into the cages for maximum puppy cuddling.

Gomez and Tesfaye have been dating since early this year and went public with their romance at Coachella in April. In the September 2017 issue of InStyle, Gomez opened up about why she feels so secure in her current relationship. “I don’t depend on one area of my life to make me happy. It’s really important for me to love and nourish my friends and family and to make sure that I never get influenced by a guy,” she said. “I’ve wanted to be in a strong headspace for years, and I really wasn’t. Before, I was so young and easily influenced, and I’d feel insecure. You want someone to add to your life, not to complete you, if that makes sense. I’m lucky because he’s more of a best friend than anything else.”

Laverne Cox Isn't Here for Society's Date Night Beauty Norms

Let us count the ways we love Laverne Cox: she’s a boss who, on top of being funny, smart, and an activist for LGBTQ+ rights, is casually breaking down beauty norms along the way. Back in May, that meant posting a heartfelt tribute to her natural curls on Instagram, and getting honest about the journey she’s been on to embrace them. And now, Cox is taking on one of the most insidious beauty standards in the book. In a new interview, she told the world that she’s not down for the pressure of needing to look “perfect” for a date. Meaning, she goes for powder and nothing else.

As Cox told Access Hollywood, “My whole dating [philosophy] is, I show up as Laverne. I don’t glam up. I give maybe a little powder for shine, and I’m like, this is it. Because the first few dates, you don’t know if they’re going to last or not.”

“I’m going to put the effort in once you’ve proven that you deserve all of this,” she continued, motioning up and down herself. “I used to, when I was younger. Now, it’s not about trying to make [dates] like me. I used to try and make them like me. Now [my dating criteria is], do I like you? Do we have anything in common? Are you into the real, authentic Laverne, stripped way down?”

Moment upfront: Of course, there’s nothing wrong with wearing makeup on a date if that’s what makes you feel ready to take on another, no-doubt-this-one’s-a-winner Tinder date. To each their own. If Nars’ Cruella helps you feel like your best self (raises hand), we’re solidly here for it. Still, it’s hard not to identify with the reality in her words: time and time again, it’s pounded into us that before a date, you’ve got to shower, shave, perfume, whatever, to put on a “desirable” image. Sh*t’s outdated, and Cox nailed it.
