Selena Gomez sizzles in pink lingerie as she poses for bedroom selfie
The 33-year-old actress - who recently glammed up to celebrate the launch of her Rare Beauty perfume - took the snap in the reflection of a vanity mirror inside what appeared to be a spacious bedroom.
She wore a pink slip with lace details and allowed her dark locks to brush her shoulders in natural waves.
Selena additionally sported a pair of pink-rimmed glasses as she showed off the look before settling in for the evening.
Behind her was a television that seemingly had the series How I Met Your Mother playing in the background.
A lit candle could be seen on the vanity while a light above the star created an orange hue.
The selfie was included in an Instagram carousel, with another image showing Selena enjoying a dinner with her fiancé Benny Blanco and other pals.
The former Disney channel star donned an all-black ensemble as she took the picture while the group was seated outside.
The Wolves singer continued to give her fans a glimpse at other recent moments from her life, such as another mirror selfie she took inside a public bathroom.
Selena wore a cropped, black tank as well as black trousers as she held a big smile on her face.
She also snapped another selfie as she lounged on a comfy couch, and revealed that she was indulging in a Pedialyte freezer popsicle.
The Pedialyte popsicles can help with dehydration while also replenishing lost fluids and electrolytes.
Selena included a rare image with her younger half-sister Gracie as they spent time on a rooftop together that was decked out in disco-themed decor for the star's 33rd birthday bash last month.
Other recent moments in her busy life included a visit to a Tiffany & Co. cafe and promoting products from her Rare Beauty brand.

Earlier this month, the star celebrated the launch of perfume for her brand and rang in the milestone during an event in Santa Monica.
Selena put on a glamorous display in a $2,298 Cult Gaia Renata dress that clung to her frame and fell down past her ankles.
Her hair was parted in the middle and pulled back into a chic up do and the actress also opted for a nude-colored tint to her lips.
Other celebrities were also spotted at the event last week, including fellow singer Becky G.
The songstress has been keeping busy as the summer season begins to wind down to a close, and recently attended a wedding with her fiancé Benny.
Selena jumped to Instagram to share moments from the nuptials of rapper-comedian David 'Lil Dicky' Burd and producer Kristin Batalucco.
The star made a bold statement wearing a $498 backless red Cult Gaia 'Katara' dress for the ceremony while Benny kept it casual in a blue tracksuit.
Selena also included pictures of both the bride and groom, and in another snap, the actress laid a loving kiss on the side of her fiancé's face.
The couple are also preparing for a wedding of their own - after announcing their engagement late last year in December.
At the time, the former Disney channel star revealed that Benny had proposed to her during a romantic picnic on a set.
She posted a series of snaps to her main Instagram page that had captured the special moment.
In one image, the star only showed her left hand to give her followers a close-up glimpse of the eye-catching diamond ring.
Last month in July, details of Selena and Benny's alleged wedding was also revealed to Daily Mail.
A source stated that the couple plan to allegedly tie the knot later this year in September in Montecito, California.
A source said, 'Selena and Benny's wedding is going to be a two-day event in Montecito in September.' Close family and friends will be invited, including the actress's BFF Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce.
'Everyone invited has been asked to bring overnight bags to stay for the weekend,' the insider also added.
Due to Selena and Benny's busy schedules, a wedding in September was the 'ideal' time for the two stars.
'Selena loves being engaged but she has been dreaming of being married forever,' a separate source told Daily Mail. 'At the end of the year, it gets busy, not only for them, but also for everyone they want to attend.'
Another insider also shut down speculation that the wedding date was to 'accommodate' Taylor's own schedule.
'Selena is not having her wedding to accommodate Taylor, but she wants her to attend and she would love for her to be able to go with Travis.'
The Only Murders In The Building actress has also revealed an unconventional menu item that she wants at her upcoming wedding.
In a TikTok clip that was shared to Rare Beauty's account last month, the star said, 'My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy.'
Selena continued, 'My Nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me. Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake.'
In regards to what kind of cake she would want, the singer explained, 'I think I'd want a mini one, for just us, that we can freeze.'
However, Benny also revealed in July that both he and Selena have yet to start making wedding plans.
During an episode of Therapuss With Jake Shane, he explained, 'Not yet, that's why we both need to chill. We've both been working so much.
'We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then then it's holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that.'
The record producer later said that they have been both 'working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it but we're so excited.'

Mark Hamill reveals he planned to leave the US when Donald Trump was re-elected

Read our Privacy notice Star Wars actor Mark Hamill has revealed he planned to leave the United States when Donald Trump was re-elected as president in 2024. The 73-year-old, known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the iconic sci-fi franchise, gave his wife Marilou Tork – whom he married in 1978 – the choice between relocating to 'London or Ireland'. Hamill's wife, who worked as a dental hygienist and met Hamill while cleaning his teeth, ingeniously convinced her husband not to move countries by suggesting Trump was pushing them out of the US. 'She's very clever. She didn't respond right away but a week later she said, 'I'm surprised you would allow him to force you out of your own country,'' Hamill, a lifelong Democrat, told The Times. ''That son of a b****', I thought. I'm not leaving.' When asked about the political landscape in the United States, Hamill expressed exasperation over 'the bullying, the incompetence, the people in place' in the Trump administration. The actor added that the only way he could 'deal' with the his country's politics without becoming suicidal was to look at the situation 'like a thick, sprawling political novel' instead of reality. open image in gallery Actor Mark Hamill has revealed he planned to leave the United States after Donald Trump was re-elected in 2024 ( Getty ) Despite his horror, Hamill added that he 'still believes' there are 'more honest, decent people' in the country than there are those in a Maga crowd. 'If I didn't, I'd move back to England,' he said. Elsewhere in the interview, Hamill revealed his dislike of US gun culture is such that he almost didn't accept his role in a forthcoming adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel The Long Walk. Hamill will play The Major, a man who runs an annual walking contest in a dystopian version of America that sees 100 young men walk continuously at a pace of four miles an hour – or they'll be shot to death. 'Francis Lawrence, the director, understood what was troubling me,' he said of his initial reluctance to take on the role. open image in gallery Hamill as The Major in 'The Long Walk' ( Lionsgate/YouTube ) 'American society is gun violence and it's hard to get past that, but as I spoke to him I realised this is just the guy. He said he would have been surprised if I wasn't troubled by it.' The actor went on to compare the film to recent ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] arrests in the country, saying agents wearing masks, with no identification, had been 'pulling people out of their cars'. 'They were just brutalising people, kneeling on their necks,' he said. 'When I made the movie I wasn't thinking in terms of it being timely but it's proven to be just that.' Hamill led the three original Star Wars movies – Star Wars (1977), The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Return of the Jedi (1983) – as Luke Skywalker alongside Carrie Fisher as Princess Leira and Harrison Ford as Han Solo. He reprised the role in all three films of the sequel trilogy: The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019), as well as in numerous TV spin offs, including The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian.

Woman shocks in extremely skimpy two-piece outfit & stunning long legs – but you'll never guess her age
HOT TO TROT Woman shocks in extremely skimpy two-piece outfit & stunning long legs – but you'll never guess her age Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GLAM 60-year-old mum has stunned people with a ''shallow and awful'' outfit she rocked whilst everyone else was bracing for rain in coats and umbrellas. Stylish Sue Giers, from Hamburg, Germany, previously confessed that trolls tell her to 'dress her age' and call her a 'granny' - but she loves wearing everything from hot pants to stilettos. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The bronzed business owner looked phenomenal, as she rocked the floral two-piece Credit: instagram/Sue Giers 2 The now-viral daring outfit sparked a fierce reaction - and left social media users totally divided Credit: instagram/Sue Giers The blonde beauty is no stranger to causing a stir with her daring outfits online - and one of the latest ensembles is no exception. In the now-viral clip, which appears to have been shot on a chillier day, the bombshell proudly flaunted her toned body in a skimpy two-piece in public. The business owner looked phenomenal, wearing a floral two-piece and showing off her never-ending slim legs in sky-high strappy heels. Sue, who previously confessed that being ''basic'' is not in her ''DNA'' - strutted around, as she gave the viewers and strangers on the street a look at her daring outfit. The show-stopper of a two-piece featured a low-cut back, as well as strappy detailing paired with a figure-hugging mini skirt. Meanwhile, while Sue was dressed for sizzling hot weather, it appears that the temperatures that day were not as high - as everyone else in the background was keeping cosy with coats and long-sleeve jumpers, carrying umbrellas. But while Sue was clearly feeling herself, the comment section was divided - with many dubbing the stylish mum ''an attention seeker''. One critic said: ''Girl, you are too old for this. It screams desperate for attention.'' Another agreed, writing: ''Put some clothes on. I don't care how old you are.'' ''That outfit is awful,'' one of the 1.9million viewers shared their brutal verdict. Woman shocks with outfit that shows 'zero class' as she walks down the beach promenade with one butt cheek fully out ''That is not hot. And even if it were, the shallowness of that is unbecoming. Let's be better,'' someone else urged. Luckily for the German fashionista, it wasn't all negative - as there were also plenty of fans hitting back at the keyboard warriors. ''She's just existing loudly in a world that tells women to shrink as they age,'' wrote one Instagram user. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. ''And the fact that so many of you see that and respond with hate? That's not about her - that's your own fear talking.'' Another echoed, writing: ''she looks great, deserves to feel confident and is trying to inspire other women her age to do so. do better girls.'' For Sue, however, it's more than just about clothes - it's also a reflection of how far she's come. The mum wrote previously said: ''These pieces aren't just fabric: they're a celebration of the journey that brought me here. ''From moments of uncertainty to moments of pure confidence, my style reflects the courage to embrace every stage of life with grace and authenticity. ''I hope to inspire others to redefine ageing and beauty, showing that true style knows no age. ''Let's continue to empower each other to boldly express ourselves and live life to the fullest!'' Sue reminded in the uplifting post.

‘The idea was for a Black James Bond': the making of 50 Cent: Bulletproof
The rapper 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) was inescapable back in 2005. There wasn't a British classroom without a teenager wearing Jackson's G-Unit clothing, while his catchy hits Candy Shop and In Da Club dominated the radio. The backstory of this Queens-born New Yorker – how he survived being shot nine times only to become one of the world's biggest rappers – also made for compelling lore. That year, 50 Cent sold more than a million copies in one week with his sophomore studio album, The Massacre. In a bid to cash in on this superstardom, his label Interscope Records planned a twin strategy: a Hollywood biopic (Get Rich or Die Tryin') and a licensed video game, 50 Cent: Bulletproof – both to be released by November 2005. 'I think the general public are going to be blown away by my game,' 50 Cent told the website IGN. 'It feels more like an action film.' British developer Genuine Games, previously responsible for a poorly received Fight Club tie-in, was tasked with creating Fiddy's 128-bit era adventure. The problem was it only had 11 months to do it. 'I remember we'd get to the office at 7am and wouldn't leave until about 11pm,' recalls the game's artist Han Randhawa. 'We all lived on a diet of KFC. 50 Cent became my whole life. I even read up the doctor's report from when he got shot, just so I could put bandages on his 3D character in the right places.' The game's designer, Haydn Dalton, says: 'It's funny, because this was a game about these dudes from the hood, and yet here was this white guy from the north-west of England writing all their in-game dialogue. It was kind of awkward, but I didn't have much time, so it was about making stuff up on the fly.' Time has been surprisingly kind to 50 Cent: Bulletproof, which is 20 this November. In this shooter, 50 Cent gets caught up in a shadowy underground network full of dodgy terrorists, racist biker gangs and mouthy mafia members. Looking to track down whoever riddled him with those nine bullet wounds, 50 and his G-Unit gang (including Tony Yayo, Young Buck and Lloyd Banks) race through inner city environments, shooting first and asking questions later. It's as if G-Unit has been modelled on the A-Team, with each member bringing something unique (Yayo is an explosives expert; Banks picks locks), while the game also has surprisingly intuitive cover mechanics, whereby your squad ducks behind walls during shootouts. With its screenplay written by the Sopranos' writer Terence Winter, the cinematic cut-scenes involving 50 Cent conversing with corrupt Det McVicar are a particular thrill. He is a dirty cop voiced by a madcap Eminem, who constantly demands more extortion money so he can send his kid to expensive karate classes. The White rapper's McVicar is joined by Dr Dre, who voices a stoned arms dealer who says things like 'That's some serious shit right there', whenever 50 Cent purchases a rocket launcher. The game is stacked full of licensed 50 Cent songs, too, meaning you can kick a heavy in the face while Wanksta plays in the background. 'We were really blessed, because 50 Cent felt more like a superhero than just a rapper,' explains the game's director David Broadhurst. 'The idea was to make him a Black James Bond.' Yet Broadhurst admits the British development team missed out on a lot of this production's glitz and glamour. 'Vivendi [the game's publisher] kept us away from 50 Cent and G-Unit; we'd get sent all their audio. I remember 50 Cent had invested in Vitamin Water, so we had to put the drink into the game as a purchasable item.' Specific requests are something Randhawa also remembers. He says that G-Unit member Tony Yayo wanted constant revisions made to his character's face. 'I knew I'd done a good job on Yayo,' laughs Randhawa. 'When we wrapped one of the executive producers came over to me and was like: 'The other members of G-Unit say you absolutely nailed Yayo's ugliness!'' According to Dalton, the original idea was for 50 Cent: Bulletproof to be more of an open world game akin to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. An early build allowed 50 to jump on the subway to navigate the Big Apple, but strict deadlines meant the development team settled for a more straightforward experience. Dalton reveals: 'One idea was that 50 managed all these hookers in the street and they'd go out and collect drug money for him. 50 could control these women through a mobile phone and a special Pimp Management System (PMS). I know people might cringe at this feature today, but Bulletproof was a product of its time.' Whereas other rap video games, such as those in the Def Jam fighting series, had violently pinned emcees against one another, Bulletproof refreshingly depicted rappers as the heroes. 'It was a nice to have a piece of art where the rapper was the outright hero rather than the antihero,' explains former G-Unit Records' executive producer Sha Money XL. Money XL helmed the 50 Cent: Bulletproof soundtrack and he admits the game's title could easily have been seen by the rapper's many enemies as a call to violence. 'Maybe some people wanted to test if 50 really was bulletproof, but if anyone was going to shoot at G-Unit in 2005 then we were gonna shoot back. Back then, 50 was the kind of person you either loved or you hated.' This divisiveness might explain why 50 Cent: Bulletproof was savaged by critics. The game only has a 52% score on Metacritic, with reviewers criticising the game's clunky aiming. The game's director believes there was a clear agenda against the production from the off. 'It was obvious a lot of the reviewers hadn't even played Bulletproof,' Broadhurst says. 'Maybe they didn't like licensed games or a Black lead character who sold drugs. I don't know, but a lot of people were picking it up expecting something bad and coming away feeling surprised when it turned out to be pretty good.' There were scrapped plans for a direct Bulletproof sequel, where the focus was on urban warfare and G-Unit surviving amid an America caught up in a civil war. However, 50 Cent: Bulletproof did inspire an underrated 2009 sequel via the Swordfish Studios-developed 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand, where Fiddy bizarrely fights the war on terror throughout the Middle East, pissed off after having a crystal skull stolen by terrorists. These two 50 Cent titles weren't a trigger for more hip-hop video games. Dalton has a theory as to why: '50 Cent was the last truly global mainstream rap superstar. There's been a vacuum since. Even though our game made a lot of money, a new rapper game just isn't obvious.' Owing to the complex licensing agreements in place, it's unlikely there will be a remaster of 50 Cent: Bulletproof any time soon. But for those who want a time machine back to 2005, tracking down a copy of the original on eBay is essential. As Dalton puts it: 'Yes our game was rushed, but I don't have any regrets. When you go on Reddit you see a lot of people nostalgic for what we created. I'm not so sure a Drake game would hit the same way as he's too soft by comparison. There aren't many rappers right for a video game, but 50 Cent was 100% one of them.'
