Selena Gomez: Grecian Dress and T-Straps?

I found this picture of Selena Gomez while browsing through a celebrity website. This photo was taken last year, August 2009, when she attended the 2009 Teen Choice Awards.

After seeing this photo, I couldn’t help but compare it with the most recent one taken of her during last month’s 2010 Kids Choice Awards.

The look of the dresses are so similar – soft, feminine, and short, with a bit of draping; very Grecian.

However, I do think that she made a mistake with last year’s outfit by pairing it with metallic T-strap pumps instead of sexy strappy sandals. The shoes simply did not go with her Grecian inspired one-shoulder number.

If you can’t see my point, just try to imagine the goddess Athena walking in a beautiful garden wearing pumps. Get the picture?

A romantic looking dress, or a classic and structured piece would have done the T-straps pumps some justice. A few good examples would be the following:

Type Z Raphaela

Anyway, I think Selena learned from her style mishap last year because  in last month’s Kids Choice Awards, she was looking spot-on. She chose a pair of snakeskin high-heeled gladiator sandals from Sergio Rossi to go with the yellow Grecian dress (as seen in the photo above).
