Selena Gomez made sure heads immediately turned in her direction as she rocked up to this year's Oscars red carpet.
And as such, it looks as though thousands of fans of the star-studded soiree have had the same reaction.
The 32-year-old is attending this year's 97th Academy Awards to represent Netflix musical-drama, Emilia Pérez.
The film itself - which also stars Zoe Saldaña and Édgar Ramírez - immediately sparked mixed reviews following its release last years, with its success being somewhat tainted by offensive tweets subsequently emerging, written by lead star Karla Sofía Gascón.

As we say, however, Emilia Pérez is amongst the leaders at this year's Oscars, having been nominated for 13 awards.
Ahead of the ceremony, however, the former Disney Channel star made her appearance on the red carpet, donning a fully beaded, bronze gown.
The ex-Wizards of Waverley Place favourite also paired her look with a blunt bob and a flashy silver choker necklace.

Viewers watching from home were seemingly blindsided by Gomez's look - despite her having already donned a series of eye-catching get-ups throughout the duration of the awards season.
Taking to social media following her appearance on the red carpet, one fan gushed online: "It's Selena Gomez’s world and we’re just living it."
Another added: "10000% stunning Selena Gomez omg! The Oscars red carpet - Pick your jaws off the floor."

"Selena Gomez you look like a princess tonight," a third continued.
Gomez attended the Oscars with her fiancé, musician Benny Blanco.
The couple's appearance comes just months after the actress broke the news that Blanco had popped the all-important question after 18 months of dating.

In a collection of sweet photos captioned 'forever begins now...', the movie star could be seen enjoying a picnic of Taco Bell products, donning a jaw-dropping new marquise diamond ring.
"Hey wait… that’s my wife," Blanco commented at the time.
Following their joint announcement, the A-list couple have hardly been able to keep their hands off one another, and have been ceaselessly papped packing on the PDA during award shows.
And we don't imagine tonight will be any exception!
The most shocking Oscars moments ever
Angelina Jolie locks lips with her brother on the red carpet (2000)
Advert
A sweet shoutout from Jolie to her brother James Haven after winning Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted turned into something much more bizarre on the red carpet after the event.
Jolie said during her acceptance speech: "I’m in shock, and I’m so in love with my brother right now.
"He just held me and said he loved me, and I know he’s so happy for me. And, um, thank you for that."
So far so innocuous, but the pair then went on to lock lips on the red carpet after the ceremony in front of paparazzi.
Reflecting on the incident in 2007, James said: “I did not give Angie a French kiss. It was something simple and lovely. She was about to go off to Mexico to finish filming Original Sin with Antonio Banderas.
"I congratulated her on the Oscar win and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. It was snapped and became a big thing."
Adrien Brody surprises Halle Berry with a kiss after winning Best Actor (2003)
The last time Brody was up for Best Actor, he took Berry and everyone else by surprise when he passionately kissed her as she presented him with the award.
Berry said in 2017: “I was like, ‘What the f**k is happening right now?’ That is what was going through my mind.”
She was sympathetic for how the moment may have gone to Brody’s head, however, adding: “I was there the year before and I know the feeling of being out of your body, I just f**king went with it.”
On the campaign trail for The Brutalist this year, Bordy said of the moment in an interview with Variety: “We live in a very conscious time, which is a wonderful thing.
“And nothing that I ever do or have done or would’ve done is ever done with the intention of making anyone feel bad.”
John Travolta absolutely butchers Idina Menzel’s name (2014)
Most people would have no trouble pronouncing Frozen star Idina Menzel’s name, but John Travolta isn’t most people.
The Grease legend ended up calling her Adele Dazeem when welcoming to her onstage to perform. Quite how he arrived at that pronunciation is anyone’s guess.
Travolta later apologised, saying in a statement: “I've been beating myself up all day. Then I thought ... what would Idina Menzel say? She’d say, 'Let it go, let it go!'
“Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!"
The La La Land and Moonlight fiasco (2017)
Back in 2017, the most prestigious award of the night, Best Film, was about to be announced.
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced the gong had gone to La La Land, the Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone musical which was widely considered the favourite to win.
Two and half minutes later, when the La La Land team were midway through their acceptance speeches, a producer on the film Jordan Horowitz was shown another envelope that revealed they hadn’t won after all.
There’s a mistake," he said. "Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture. This is not a joke.”
It turned out Beatty had somehow been handed the envelope for Best Actress, which went to Emma Stone for La La Land earlier in the evening.
It turned into a mortifying experience for all involved. Moonlight director Barry Jenkins said afterwards: “I noticed the commotion but I was speechless when the result was altered. I've never seen that happen before.”
The slap heard around the world (2022)
Easily the most dramatic thing to ever happen at the Oscars, Smith strode on stage and walloped presenter Chris Rock, after he made an ill-advised joke about the Men in Black star’s wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Rock said on stage: “Jada, can't wait for G.I. Jane 2,” a reference to her shaved head. Jada has been open about her struggles with alopecia, which made this a low blow in many people’s eyes.
Cue Smith striding on stage and smacking Rock, later yelling at him: “Keep my wife's name out of your f**king mouth.”
The upside of all this was that Smith was banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years, although he did awkwardly go on to pick up the award for Best Actor later that evening.
Smith apologised for his behaviour several times in the months following, saying: “One of the things about that moment, I just didn’t realise, I wasn’t thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment.”
