Selena Gomez channeled her bestie Taylor Swift at Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, April 1, but Gomez didn’t dress up as the Fearless era fairy princess or the slinky, all-black Reputation version of Swift; instead, she proved her Folklore fandom by slipping into the iconic cable knit cardigan and some very Swiftian curly bangs.
Dallas-based hairstylist Max Rintoul and makeup artist Kristen Farrah were responsible for Gomez’s Eras Tour look, with Rintoul paying homage to Swift’s “Cardigan” music video hair by styling Gomez’s brunette curls in a few low knots at the nape of her neck, then curling her bangs and a few face-framing pieces in loose spiral ringlets that brushed her brows, similar to one of Swift’s Folklore-era signature looks.
Farrah kept the romantic, vintage vibes of the Folklore period alive via Gomez’s makeup, using a peach Rare Beauty blush (obv!) on the musician and actor’s cheeks. Farrah didn’t share the exact shade she chose, but the warm hue looks a lot like the new Soft Pinch Liquid Blush color Virtue, described as a “beige peach.” Farrah brushed a similar color across Gomez’s lips and lids and painted on a soft but precise black cat eye, an absolute essential at any Swift-related event. Once her hair and makeup was complete, Gomez pulled on that song-worthy cardigan and headed out to support her BFF.
Gomez and her little sister Gracie were both in attendance in Arlington, with Gracie donning a Red-era look and even receiving Swift’s bowler hat from the star herself. “Thank you bestie for having me and my sissy transport into your mystical, euphoric and special world. Proud to know you! love you forever and always,” Gomez wrote on Instagram alongside a few snapshots from the show. If you watch the video in her slideshow, you can see her “Cardigan”-inspired style in motion as she dances, and this adorable tribute is the sweetest shoutout to a long-time friend.
