(I keep one in my car just in case I need to pull my hair up between the grocery store and the post office.) Gomez parted her hair in the center and pulled the lengths up, twisted them, and clipped her hair with a medium-sized sheer white claw clip and wrapping some of the lengths over the top of the clip. Easy, right? But I&#8217;m struck by how perfectly arranged her hair looks in the upstyle: a little undone but still glamorous, cool but not overdoing it, and perfect for the weekend ahead.<\/p>\n<p>To finish, Gomez pulled out two slim tendrils to frame her face on either side. She looks like my childhood babysitters and cool older cousins in their &#8217;90s finest, or the celebrities I used to admire in my grandma&#8217;s <em>People<\/em> magazines. Her neutral-toned, matte-finish makeup, strappy black tank top, and skinny sunglasses are also very \u201890s, so thanks for the weekend glam inspo, Selena!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selena Gomez was born in 1992, so she definitely remembers the mid- to late-&#8217;90s.
