Selena Gomez caused a stir on Instagram by briefly sharing a revealing photo before swiftly deleting it, prompting a flurry of online reactions. The snapshot, which showed Gomez in a low-cut black bandeau top, sparked discussions about body shaming, with fans rallying to support her. Some speculated that the photo may have been the result of a wardrobe malfunction. Despite its quick removal, screenshots circulated widely, making it the top trending topic on Twitter.
In a surprising move on March 24th, Selena Gomez returned to Instagram with two ‘risqué’ photos. The singer, known for her intermittent relationship with the platform, shared captivating images featuring her wavy, hazel hair flowing down her shoulders. However, eagle-eyed fans noted a minor wardrobe slip in one of the snaps, where her top had shifted lower than intended.

Selena Gomez has long been an advocate for body positivity, a stance echoed by her devoted fan base. Following the incident, her fans took to social media to condemn those who had made derogatory comments about her body. One fan highlighted Gomez’s battle with systemic lupus erythematosus, emphasizing the insensitivity of mocking her weight given her health struggles.
For over a decade, Selena Gomez has been confronting lupus, an autoimmune condition predominantly affecting women aged 15-45. She has shared openly about her experiences, including undergoing a kidney transplant and chemotherapy, and how the disease has impacted her mental well-being.
Last year during a TikTok live, Selena Gomez said, “I tend to hold a lot of water weight and that happens very normally, and then when I’m off it I tend to kind of lose weight. I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what [you’re] going through, [when] nobody knows the real story… you’re beautiful and you’re wonderful.”
