Top 40 Best Dressed of 2011: Number 31

Selena Gomez in Emilio Pucci. I really admire Selena for coming out of her shell this year and showing that she is a fashion force to be reckoned with. She was definitely one to watch this year and will continue to be for a while.

Style Icon - Selena Gomez

Texas native Selena has really stepped up her wardrobe in the last year. She has definitely graduated from Disney girl to style star! Her Disney Channel show, Wizards of Waverly Place, started in 2007 and four years later she now has her own music group, Selena Gomez & the Scene, which has produced some of the best music I have ever heard from a Disney Channel star (much better than Ashley Tisdale or Vanessa Hudgens that is).
