Hair Styling: Selena Gomez Became 30 in a Snatched, Sixties-Impressed Prime Ponytail — See Photograph

Selena Gomez just celebrated a major milestone in the most snatched ponytail of all time.

The actor, musician and Rare Beauty founder turned 30 on July 22 and got all glammed up for the occasion, donning a nude-pink sheer Versace gown and pairing the delicately pretty look with a perky high ponytail and big hoop earrings. Gomez’s deep brunette hair was pulled back from her face for a sleek, sophisticated vibe and worn high at the crown with cute flipped-out ends to add a fun, modern edge to the classic high ponytail. 

Gomez’s hairstylist Marissa Marino wrapped a piece of her hair (or potentially a hair extension) around the base of the pony to conceal any hair ties and to keep the pony looking shiny and fluid as Gomez moved around her party. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo went for an equally fresh makeup moment with airbrushed skin, lush lashes, cat eyeliner, and a mauve-brown lip — a classic Selena Gomez look if we’ve ever seen one.

Gomez clearly had an amazing time ringing in her 30th birthday with her closest friends and fam. “After a few days of celebrating, my heart feels full, grateful and I can say that I’m starting to really like 30,” the Rare Beauty founder wrote in an Instagram post. “Thank you SO much for being a part of my life, here’s to another decade! Love you all inside and out so much it hurts!” The black and white portraits of the star on her big day reveal another peek at her b-day glam, including another angle of the sleek pony and some major brow inspiration.
