Selena Gomez’s style is all about the classics these days, and that includes borrowing fashion rules from one of America’s most timeless style icons, Jackie Kennedy Onassis. For a Rare Beauty event on October 8, Gomez recreated one of the former first lady’s favorite outfit formulas: white pants and a simple black top that prioritizes comfort while remaining business appropriate.

Jackie O was famous for her restrained yet trendy style, and one of her favorite tricks was to invert the basic black pants-and-white top formula, usually accessorized with some kind of chunky gold jewelry.

Gomez here did exactly the same, just updated for 2024. The actor wore a black halter bodysuit, roomy white trousers, and gold-studded statement belt from Khaite, which she paired with gold Jennifer Fisher rings, cuff, and hoop earrings. Gomez wore her hair parted to the side in loose curls, kept her makeup classic, and opted for a nude manicure that any first lady would approve of.
