Selena Gomez was spotted in a fashionable and relaxed outfit as she strolled around New York City over the weekend.

Despite her confident appearance, Selena recently had to defend herself against negative comments about her appearance on Instagram. Addressing the critic’s unnecessary remarks about her eating habits and exercise routine, the singer made it clear that she is unconcerned about such opinions. The social media exchange, however, has since been deleted.

Perfectly positioned curves: the 22-year-old songstress looked absolutely stunning in her laid-back ensemble as she basked in the glorious city sunshine. Disregarding the opinions of critics, she boldly declared, ‘I’m fully immersed in this industry, and quite frankly, I couldn’t care less about what ‘they’ or you think I should look like.’ She further emphasized, ‘I have no need to conform to anyone’s standards except my own. My focus is on self-love, nurturing my craft, and being there for my dedicated fans, cherished family, and close friends. And yes, I do exercise regularly. But it’s not for you to pass judgment or dictate what others should or shouldn’t do.’ At present, there is no official confirmation from Selena’s representatives to substantiate her participation in the confrontation with her Instagram detractor. Later that Saturday, Selena and her close friend Vanessa Hudgens shared a delightful late-night meal in the vibrant East Village of New York City. This joyful meetup took place after Vanessa’s triumphant performance in the esteemed Broadway production, Gigi.
