Selena Gomez is chic and sophisticated in a Versace pantsuit as she lends her star power to the annual Unlikely Heroes Awards Gala

Selena Gomez displayed her effortlessly chic and sophisticated style as she hit the red carpet at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills on Saturday night.
Putting her celebrity status to good use, the star stepped out in honour of the 3rd Annual Unlikely Heroes Recognizing Heroes Awards Dinner & Gala, during which she acted as a presenter alongside The Best Of Me star Liana Liberato.
The event, which raises much-needed funds and publicity for child victims of sex slavery, was hosted by The Secret Life Of The American Teenager's Francia Raisa, while it also featured a number of performances, including one by actor-turned-singer Jesse McCartney.

Leading the star-studded arrivals, Selena looked stunning as she displayed her svelte figure in a fitted Versace pantsuit.
The cream number consisted of straight-leg pants that fell to the floor, only just giving a glimpse of her pointy gold stilettos, and a matching blazer.
The jacket was fitted at the midsection and held together with two large gold buttons, with matching button detail on the two faux pockets on either side of her waist.
Gold stitching down the torso accentuated her trim stomach, while the shoulders were adorned with fun embellished detail and gold tassels, creating a circus ringleader-like look.
Picture-perfect! The singer - who was one of the night's presenters - wore her long glossy dark brown tresses in a sleek low ponytail with a heavy side parting, her make-up bronzed and beautiful, with matching brown lips and dark smoky eyes

The star seemingly didn't wear anything underneath the garment, which was cut low in the neckline and revealed a hint of cleavage.
The 22-year-old added some contrasting colour with her onyx manicure.
She wore her long glossy dark brown locks in a sleek low ponytail with a heavy side parting, while her make-up was beautifully applied, with sun-kissed bronze skin and a matching hue on her lips, dark smoky eyes and lashings of mascara accentuating her eyes.
'I want to thank Francia [Raisa],' Selena said onstage while presenting an award to Erica Greve, the founder & CEO of Unlikely Heroes.

'As you guys know, she was the beautiful host and I want to thank her because she came to my house one day and she told me about Erica. I’ve known Francia for a few years and watching her grow emotionally and just who you are is so beautiful.
'This meant so much to her, so me just being here and knowing what Erica has done means beyond what I can just do to show up in a nice outfit. I really, really appreciate you guys being here. Thank you so much for being here for this organization.'
Host with the most Francia Raisa was an absolute vision as she floated onto the carpet. 
The 26-year-old actress sizzled in a '50s-style gown featuring a black lace bodice with capped sleeves and sexy sheer detail, with a low-cut back, that flowed out from the thighs into a soft chiffon skirt that was an onyx ombre effect with daring slit up one leg.
Not Quite The Best Of Her! Actress and fellow presenter Liana Liberato's slender figure was swamped by her gown, featuring an intricately embellished silver sequinned bodice and flowy black skirt

She too stuck with the trend for a chic updo and glamorous make-up, with heavily kohl-rimmed eyes and contrasting glossy blush lips.
Performer Jesse McCartney was rocking his signature style in black jeans and boots, a white shirt, grey tie with white spotted design and a funky black velvet blazer.
The 27-year-old happily walked the carpet arm-in-arm with girlfriend Katie Peterson. 
The actress and model opted for an off-white, pale yellow and black patterned halterneck maxi-dress with black accents on the neckline and around the waist.

Her long ombre locks were slicked back with plenty of volume at the crown, while her make-up was golden and glowing.
Also making an appearance was fellow singer JoJo - real name Joanna Levesque.
The 23-year-old looked striking in a slinky black gown featuring silver embellishments down the centre of the chest and on the arm holes, while full-length sheer sleeves with black lace on the cuffs completed the ensemble.
She too wore her brunette tresses in a sleek updo with side parting and went for dramatic smoky eyes and pretty pink lips.

Bella Thorne sports a grown-up look in elegant peplum dress at Imagen Awards

Shaking It Up! Bella Thorne sports a grown-up look in elegant peplum dress at Imagen Awards

She is currently the toast of young Hollywood.
And Bella Thorne certainly dressed like she's in it to win it at the 28th Annual Imagen Awards on Friday.
Appearing mature for her young age of 15, the Shake It Up! star donned a demure, black strapless dress to attend the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.
Stunning at 15: Bella Thorne looked more mature than her years as she arrived at the 28th Annual Imagen Awards at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Friday

The actress, who is nominated for the Best Young Actress/Television category, teamed the fitted peplum frock with a pair of black sandals and a modern, structured clutch.
Clearly inspired by old Hollywood glamour, the Cuban starlet styled her strawberry locks in loose curls that neatly flowed past her right shoulder.
And her make-up was more subtle than usual, highlighting her big eyes with neutral shades of eye shadow and lengthening mascara instead of going heavy with liner.
Consistent with her natural glow, Bella sported a shimmering, light pink lip gloss and brushed her cheeks with luminescent face powder.

Selena Gomez in flowing top and tiny shorts as she hits the beach with gal pal

Lured to the sea! Selena Gomez is a summer siren in flowing top and tiny shorts as she hits the beach with gal pal

Selena Gomez celebrated the start of the hot summer season with a trip to Malibu, California.
The 20-year-old singer enjoyed lunch at The Beach Cafe and then a stroll on the sand on Sunday where the only tune she was hearing was the sound of waves and seagulls.
Selena stayed cool in a billowing ivory top over a pair of cut-off denim shorts that allowed her to show off her lean legs and her deep tan.

Her sense of style was complimented further by a round clutch bag on a golden chain that was looped across her chest.
The warm sand must have felt wonderful on Selena's bare feet as she took in the breeze with her friend, actress Francia Raisa, but she kept her T-strap sandals close for later.
While Selena shied from attention, 24-year-old Francia seemed to welcome it as she paraded her curvy figure in a turquoise bikini.

After their walk on the shore, the girls relaxed a bit on a wooden bench for some intimate girl talk.
No doubt they had a lot to talk about including what's going on between Selena and her rumoured new beau Ed Sheeran.
Selena's split from ex-boyfriend, pop star Justin Bieber, made her one of the most sought after bachelorettes in Hollywood.

Now it appears that Selena has indeed moved on with Ed, who, at 22, is considered an older and more 'mature' choice for the songstress.
The Come And Get It star, who considers Justin out of her life for good, is reportedly hooking up with Sheeran after being introduced by their mutual friend Taylor Swift last month.
'They are hooking up!' a source told UsMagazine.com.
Time to go: After a while Selena replaced her sandals and headed back to the car park

The same insider claims the Lego House singer has been enjoying romantic dates with Selena.
The British singer previously admitted he 'wouldn't complain' if he was set up with the brunette beauty.
Sheeran was even spotted leaving what was said to be Selena's home just last week, carrying his guitars and loading them into an awaiting limousine.
Posture check: Selena appeared to be slouching, which goes to show even big stars can have bad posture

Secret Life of the American Teenager's Francia Raisa left red-faced after a gust of wind blows her dress up


Secret Life of the American Teenager's Francia Raisa left red-faced after a gust of wind blows her dress up  


Actress Francia Raisa was left blushing on the red carpet at the Teen Choice Awards last night after being caught out by a gust of wind.
The 23-year-old, who plays Adrian Lee in the ABC series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, accidentally exposed her black underwear when her floaty thigh-skimming pink dress blew up while she was posing for photographers. 
She was clearly mortified by the wardrobe malfunction but did her best to laugh off the Marilyn Monroe moment.

Raisa is also known for her roles as tough Latina cheerleader Leti in Bring It On: All or Nothing and other film credits include The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing the Dream and  The Cutting Edge: Fire & Ice. 
She recently wrapped filming comedy horror Chastity Bites. 
While Raisa won the unofficial award for the most embarrassing moment, it was Taylor Swift who was the night's big winner. 
The 22-year-old singer-and-actress took home authentic full-sized surfboard prizes for Choice Female Music Artist, Choice Country Artist and Choice Movie Voice for her performance as Audrey in the animated film adaptation of Dr. Seuss' book 'The Lorax' at the ceremony held at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

The blonde beauty narrowly beat Justin Bieber to be the biggest winner of the night. 
The 18-year-old pop star went home with four prizes, including Choice Music Male Artist and Single for Male Artist for his latest hit 'Boyfriend', which he performed at the event. 
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 had seven nominations and took home two accolades, the Ultimate Choice Award and Teen Choice Favourite Film, taking the franchise's total of Teen Choice Awards to 41 in the past four years. 
Main cast members Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were all in attendance.
Addressing the audience, Taylor said: 'This award especially is an extreme honour. It's a true testament to all the support you've given us over the years. It's amazing you're still around and just as loyal and just as strong.'

As well as Justin, No Doubt - who will release their first album in more than a decade later this month - made their live comeback at the ceremony, performing their forthcoming single Settle Down.
Selena Gomez - Justin's girlfriend - celebrated her 20th birthday at the event by taking home the Best Music Group gong with her band The Scene and when the singer-and-actress took to the stage to accept the prize she was serenaded with a version of 'Happy Birthday' by the audience. 
The brunette beauty also received cupcakes with sparklers on for her to blow out and she described the gift as the 'best birthday present ever'.  
Demi Lovato and Glee star Kevin McHale hosted the two-hour ceremony, which also saw Jennifer Lawrence pick up two accolades for Choice Actress (Sci-Fi Fantasy) and Choice Lip-Lock for her onscreen embrace with Josh Hutcherson in The Hunger Games.
