She accessorised the floor-length dress with a diamond necklace and matching earrings. 

The songstress, who wore her brunette tresses in a ponytail, posed confidently resting her arms over a balcony that overlooked the beautiful riviera.

In some of the images she stared seductively down the camera, in others she looked whimsically into the distance and closed her eyes; and in another, she stood in a lift, presumably about to step out onto the red carpet.

Another picture in her gorgeous dress saw her later on in the evening pouting and sharing a giggle with a friend.

Selena also took to Instagram during the all-star evening to show off another very busty ensemble.

The star flaunted her assets in a very low cut black dress which gave a peek at her eye-popping cleavage and taut stomach while also boasting intricate bow detail.

In these images, Selena styled her raven locks into loose waves and ramped up the sex appeal sporting a bold red lip.

The sizzling pictures come after Selena got emotional on Saturday.

The Only Murders In The Building star accessorised with various pieces of jewellery, and her gorgeous brunette locks were partially tied back into a flowing ponytail.

It was revealed that Gomez had signed on to star in Emilia Perez in January 2023.

The movie is centered on a lawyer who is recruited by a Mexican drug lord in order to help him undergo a sex change operation to become a woman.

The Love You Like A Love Song singer portrays the cartel leader’s unsuspecting wife in the movie.

The cast of the film is led by Karla Sofia Gascon and also includes the likes of performers such as Mark Ivanir and Adriana Paz.

Production on the feature was initially set to take place in 2022, although shooting was delayed by several months due to scheduling conflicts.

Audiard spoke to Variety earlier this year and revealed that he did not initially envision Emilia Perez as a feature-length film.

The director told the media outlet that he originally thought that the project would take the form of ‘an opera libretto in four acts,’ although he later changed his mind.

‘It was the first time that an idea [for a film] came to me under this shape,’ he added. 

The filmmaker went on to state that he shot the movie predominantly in studios, as working on set gave him ‘more freedom for the parts that are sung and choreographed.’

He described his choice to film his project in a studio as feeling ‘like a return to a primary intuition.’
