She recently transformed herself from a children’s TV favourite to a sexy singer who stars in explicit films.
But showing she’s always willing to try new things Selena Gomez has shed her usual sultry style in favour of a stripped down This Is England inspired look.
Posing alongside two women with shaved heads, the 21-year-old looks a far cry from both the Disney princess she once was and the glamorous woman she was recently become as she poses in the edgy shoot for i-D magazine.
Different look: Selena Gomez looked a far cry from her usual self for i-D magazine
Wearing a plain T-shirt with an oversized John Varvatos coat and her hair pushed off her face, it’s clear Selena, who was styled by Elgar Johnson for the shoot, can pull of most looks.
Standing with her hands in her pocket the Wizards Of Waverly Place star looks almost defiant with a dreary London alley way as her back drop.
Her hair which is usually styled around her face is slicked back and making sure her natural beauty shines through – her eyes are simply accentuated with a touch of eyeliner.

For the front cover Selena, who was shot by Scott Trindle, again looks rawer with her hair messily falling around her face, while dressed in a Margaret Howell jumper.
Looking at the camera she gives a cheeky wink, hinting at a more wild side she has recently embraced.
And it seems the star, who has enjoyed an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber loved embracing a different side to herself.

She told the magazine: ‘I love doing shoots overseas. Actually being there and feeling the environment adds a realness to the shoot.
‘It’s so easy to wear incredible, beautiful dresses and look super glamorous, because you have the power of Photoshop, but a shoot that’s really stripped-down and raw is really fun to do. I was being rained on, it was freezing, I was covered in a giant sweater and my hair was all over the place. I got to just be in that moment and feel like I was there.’
During the interview she also describes how as a seven-year-old girl from Texas she was obsessed with Britney Spears.

Recalling seeing her in concert, she said: ‘The Baby One More Time… concert was amazing. I sat all the way up in the nosebleeds and I could barely see her, but I remember it being the best day of my life.
‘I had my hair in a ponytail and I knew all the words to the songs. I’ll always remember it.’
Meanwhile it’s been announced that UK band The Vamps,who's debut single Can We Dance is out September 29, will be supporting Selena during her London tour dates.
Selena is currently touring with her debut solo album Stars Dance and will play in London on the 7th and 8th of September.
