Selena Gomez: America’s Got Talent Vamp or Victim?

I have always admired Selena Gomez’s elegant red carpet style that when I saw these photos, it totally caught me by surprise.

Selena Gomez performs for the America’s Got Talent audience, July 15

That’s how Selena looked when she performed at the America’s Got Talent show last July 15.

What do you think? Vampy or fashion victim?

Personally, I don’t think she’s a fashion victim, but the outfit does look a little off. Don’t get me wrong, the dress isn’t bad and those metallic red and silver gladiator sandals are stunning but the two don’t seem to work together.

You know how some things are meant to be? Like they complement? Well, this combo isn’t one of them.

Again, the sandals are quite pretty. It got me quite interested that I went looking for it online. I tried and tried and tried to ID it, but couldn’t find any information on it. I think it would look better with a dress that’s more body skimming though; something sexy rather than the girly and flouncy balloon dress she wore it with.

Because I currently have no clue where you can get it (Selena’s sandals), I am giving you the next best thing instead – gladiator sandals in red hot red.
