Selena Gomez doesn’t think of herself as a sex symbol – in fact, it’s an image she’s trying to get away from.
She officially hung up the lingerie in her music videos back in 2020, admitting to KISS FM: “I told my sister [eight-year-old Grace] I will not be doing videos like that anymore. It’s not really necessary, in my opinion.”
But in the past, Selena has fully embraced her sexuality. In her Hands To Myself music video, the star was seen wowing in a black bra and matching knickers as she fantasised about a hunky man – with visions of him touching her body.

Meanwhile, her video for Fetish saw her eating lipstick, tearing into her tights and walking into a huge freezer.
But despite her veering away from the sensual videos, Selena has had some pretty scorching moments over the years – from bikini snaps to twerking sessions.
Bikini snaps
When it comes to swimwear, Selena Gomez doesn’t shy away from putting her incredible body front and centre.
The star recently wowed in a tiny string two-piece with a huge cut-out section around her waist. The purple and red swimsuit featured spaghetti straps over Selena’s shoulders and was tied together over her hips with thin bits of string.
She left her curves on display with her blonde hair worn in loose waves down past her shoulders, adding a pair of dangly gold earrings to the ensemble as she posed up a storm.
More recently, Selena donned a cut-out one-piece swimsuit in all black. Dripping wet, Selena knelt up on a towel on the back of a private yacht, raising both hands behind her head as she let rivulets of water drip down her chest.
With her brunette tresses tucked into a messy bun atop her head, the star accessorised with a pair of huge gold hoop earrings and went au natural with her make-up.
She swiped on a pale pink matte lip and just a hint of shimmer over her eyelids while surrounded by perfect blue sea.
Twerking
Back in 2016, Selena let loose as she rocked out to another pop princess’ lyrics – by twerking on a table while Rihanna’s track Work played in the background.
While spending the night in a Texas hotel, Selena headed out to the club and got right up on the table to shake her booty.
She headed to the Reata Rooftop in Fort Worth, where she was filmed grooving to the music – with the help of some “dancing juice”.
Cuffed in her undies
In 2012, Selena and her former Disney co-star Vanessa Hudgens broke the internet with a photoshoot for Interview magazine, along with their Spring Breakers colleagues Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine.
All four of the gals leaned up against a cop car in matching underwear with their hands cuffed behind their backs.
Spring Breakers followed a group of college girls who end up in jail after robbing a restaurant to fund their spring break adventure, and are bailed out to get involved in a series of drug-fuelled shenanigans.
Selena had to learn to smoke a cigarette especially for the film, explaining: “I mean, I’d never smoked a cigarette before in my entire life. I was really funny – they had to show me how to do it.
“It was a mark thing for me – like, ‘this is what I want to be doing’. I want to be taking myself seriously as an actress and this was definitely a stretch.”
Selena spends a lot of time in a two-piece for the film – and at one point flashes the bird while covered in what looks like a combination of oil and sweat.
‘Throuple’ claim
The Disney star didn’t hold anything back as she joked that she is engaged in a “throuple” – that’s a three-way romance to the uninitiated – with Nicola Peltz-Beckham and her husband Brooklyn.
The trio celebrated New Year 2023 together in Los Cabot, Mexico, and wrote on Instagram: “Fine, call us a throuple!” adding the hashtag “forever plus one”.
And those rumours went even further in July 2023, when she and Nicola stripped down to swimwear together for a series of cosy poolside snaps.

Nicola wowed in a white bikini top and black shades, while Selena opted for a mocha-coloured one-piece swimsuit which left her thighs and intricate hip tattoo on display.
Nicola quickly told her bestie: “I love you so much!!”
In an interview with Wondermind, Nicola also referred to them as a “throuple”, as Brooklyn Beckham added: “[Gomez] says we’re a throuple. She’s such a sweet girl.
“I love when my wife makes new friends, especially really great friends. We all get along.”
