Selena Gomez glammed up in designer clothing for a COVID-safe, outdoorsy fashion spread shot by photographer Darío and styled by Yashua Simmons.
‘Make sure you pick up the phone and call frequently,’ the 28-year-old ‘Texican’ pop star advised fans in the December/January edition of Vogue México & Latin America.
‘We have to make sure we are aware not only of our family, but also of our friends. People feel lonely and isolated, and a simple call to ask how they are doing is very helpful.’

‘Family is everything to me. I am very close to my family,’ Gomez – a third-generation Mexican-American – gushed.
‘My [maternal] grandparents [David and Debbie Cornett] live with me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In my family we fight a lot and love even more.

‘I love when people say that your friends are the family you choose, but your family is the family you are stuck with and I think sometimes that brings other challenges but at the same time it brings a sense of history and connection that doesn’t it can be replicated.’
And while the Black Lives Matter activist admitted she didn’t vote in the 2016 presidential election, she now feels a responsibility to use her platform in a ‘meaningful way.’
Selena said: ‘What I do hope is to continue feeling curious about life, to challenge myself, and learn from my mistakes (there will be many).’

Gomez said her Rare Impact Fund plans on raising ‘$100M over the next 10 years to help connect people with mental health services, especially underserved communities.’
‘We want to reduce the stigma associated with mental health, address the epidemic of chronic loneliness, and give people access to the resources they need to support their mental well-being,’ the Ice Cream songstress said of her charity.
At the same time, Selena launched her inclusive cosmetics company, Rare Beauty, in September featuring ‘no less than 48 shades of foundation and concealer.’

‘It was important to me that it was more than a beauty brand. I knew that mental health would be at the forefront of our purpose,’ Gomez explained.
‘I have been open about my personal mental health struggles and have been affected by feeling less. Through my openness, I have listened to many young people who also struggle and this is something very close to my heart.
‘I hope we can empower the Rare Beauty community to challenge beauty norms by shaping positive conversations about self-acceptance and mental health.’
