Brides-to-be, listen up. Selena Gomez just posted a photo in a wedding dress with a footwear choice that was far from traditional, and we think it might just be an untapped nuptial style choice set to take over the 2025 wedding season.
In a photo shared to her 424 million Instagram followers yesterday, Selena made a serious case for the alternative bridal aesthetic, pairing a strapless lace bodice bridal gown with a set of crisp white combat boots and a pair of Pretty Woman-approved gloves.

Even though the snap is from a fictional wedding, we can’t help but feel Selena’s bridal look would be perfect for a bride-to-be who loves the unconventional.

Selena perfectly paired the strapless intricately embroidered gown with a set of tiered pearl earrings, a bold red lip which is likely from her beauty empire Rare Beauty, and a messy side parted up-do with a face-framing fringe piece.

Selena isn’t the only A-List star challenging the conventional matrimony dress code of something borrowed, something blue. When tennis star Serena Williams tied the knot with her husband Alexis Ohanian back in 2017, she called upon Nike and professional bedazzler @merakimishell to create a custom pair of wedding sneakers, adorned with hundreds of Swarovski crystals.
Though this snap isn’t from Selena’s actual wedding, fans of her and her music producer beau Benny Blanco can’t help but hope that a real wedding is on the horizon in the not-so-distant future, and when they do make it official we can’t wait to see what she wears.
