Selena Gomez was spotted without her on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber during the first annual iHeartRadio Music Awards at LA’s Shrine Auditorium. The 21-year-old actress also chose to enter the venue quietly through the back entrance, possibly because of the recent rumors about her falling out with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, unfollowing all her celebrity pals on Instagram, and breaking up with Bieber once again. Gomez presented an award during the event, but her usual lively energy was visibly absent.
Selena Gomez skipped the red carpet and entered the iHeartRadio Music Awards alone, as she was set to present at the event. Meanwhile, her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber chose the same night to congratulate Ariana Grande on her chart-topping single. Bieber and Grande have worked together in the past, and he shared an old photo of them in the recording studio with a caption that hinted at a possible collaboration between the two. Grande performed at the awards show and her new single, “Problem,” featuring Iggy Azalea, is a massive hit worldwide.
Looking her best: Despite skipping the red carpet due to recent personal issues, the 21-year-old managed to impress in a maroon outfit from Cushnie et Ochs. The ensemble showcased just the right amount of her toned and tanned skin, complemented by her sleek, straight locks and bronze make-up.
Upon taking the stage to present at the event, Selena Gomez received a warm welcome from the audience with raucous applause and cheers. Despite going through recent personal struggles, the singer managed to impress with her impeccable fashion sense. Her outfit revealed just the right amount of skin as she confidently showed off her toned midriff, cleavage, and legs. The ensemble consisted of a maroon high-waisted skater skirt from Cushnie et Ochs, paired with a matching cropped top that boasted a teardrop cut-out design on the chest.
‘Selena’s somber selfie’: Selena took to Instagram to share a photo of herself on her way to an event, wearing a more serious expression than usual. Her downcast eyes and stony face conveyed a hint of sadness, which may have been related to recent reports suggesting that she has ended things with Justin Bieber once again.
Congratulations to @arianagrande for topping the charts with her latest hit! Justin Bieber even suggested a possible duet between the two pop stars. On the same night, Justin shared a throwback photo of Ariana Grande, who performed at the iHeartRadio event, possibly causing some tension between her and Selena Gomez. Ariana looked stunning in pale pink Jimmy Choo stilettos that added some height to her frame. She kept her accessories simple with delicate rings and wore her chestnut hair straight down to her stomach, giving her a more natural look. Her makeup was minimal with golden dewy skin and a light swipe of mascara. It’s safe to say she looked a bit out of place among the glitz and glamour of the event.
Rocking the stage: The dainty sensation, who shares a record label with Bieber under Scooter Braun’s School Boy Records, impressed the crowd with her lively performance while commemorating her latest hit single Problem, which landed at the top spot in 22 nations this week.
Up and coming celebrity: Selena may not have been acknowledged or performed at the awards show, but Ariana captivated the audience with her incredible singing abilities and received the Young Influencer Award from Hilary Duff. Furthermore, her devoted fan base, the Arianators, were acknowledged with a win in the Best Fan Army category.
Rihanna took home four awards, including the prestigious title of Artist of the Year, making her the biggest winner of the night.
Pharrell Williams was incredibly amazed and grateful to receive an exceptional Innovator award, feeling humbled by the honor bestowed upon him.
Ecstatic: Blake Shelton was overjoyed to receive the award for Country Song Of The Year for his hit single, Boys Round Here. Earlier in the day, Selena shared a photo of herself on Instagram looking serious as she stared into the camera. Her caption simply read, “iheart filterz.” Nevertheless, when it was time for Selena to perform, she put on a brave face and flawlessly delivered her lines, much to the excitement of her fans. This shows her unwavering professionalism.
Ashley Greene, known for her role in Twilight, looked absolutely stunning in a white outfit from the Australian fashion label, sass & bide. Her toned arms and legs were highlighted beautifully in the ensemble, creating the illusion of a perfect silhouette with not a hint of excess weight.
Olivia Somerlyn exuded the essence of summer with her chic all-white ensemble. She flaunted an asymmetric high-waisted skirt, a cropped top, strappy heels, and a clutch that completed her look. Her long golden locks styled in soft waves over one shoulder and minimal make-up accentuated her natural beauty.
Mรฝa, the singer, was able to beat the heat in style by sporting a blazer top with a sleeveless cape-like detail. The unique top matched her pale pink maxi-skirt that had an unusual high-low hemline and complemented her pointy pumps perfectly.
Shakira’s famous hips are still as mesmerizing as ever! Despite not making it to the red carpet, she didn’t shy away from striking a pose backstage in an eye-catching laser-cut ensemble. The outfit consisted of a black top and a white leather skirt that showcased her unique sense of style.
