Selena Gomez recently stunned fans after she reposted a sultry selfie that she initially deleted thinking it was "too much."

Taking to Instagram last night, the 30-year-old actress-turned-beauty-mogul treated her 381 million fans to a glamorous snapshot of herself donning a black, strapless bustier with her hair tied back into a sleek ponytail.

In one hand she held a fruity drink which she was sipping while she twirled strands of her hair in the other.

Alongside the photo, she wrote in the caption that she had deleted this post before "because I thought maybe it was too much but eh."

Of course, the seductive shot elicited thousands of comments from fans as well as her friends.

"Icon energy," dancer JoJo 'Gomez' Okimura wrote, while musician Connor Brennan told the star that he had "fallen to his knees in a Starbucks."

"Wow! Thank God it's back," added another user, alongside two flame emojis - the only appropriate emoji to use for Gomez's selfie.

Former Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui also joined in on the conversation saying: "This is one of my favorite pictures of youuuu."

The news came shortly before the former Disney Channel actress hit another social media milestone.

Gomez recently took back her crown as the most followed woman on Instagram, dethroning 25-year-old Kylie Jenner.

As per Elle, last night at approximately 6:25 PM EST, the 'Lose You To Love Me' singer matched Jenner's follower statistics, but within a few extra hours, she surpassed it.

By the morning, Gomez managed to hit 381 million followers, giving her the lead in the battle.

When speaking to Vanity Fair about her recent social media activity, she said that she had to take a step back from Instagram, as well as other platforms, before returning when she had a better game plan to deal with the hateful comments.

"People can call me ugly or stupid and I’m like, whatever. But these people get detailed," she told the outlet. "They write paragraphs that are so specific and mean. I would constantly be crying. I constantly had anxiety... I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a waste of my time.

"The only thing I have on my phone is TikTok because I find it to be a little less hostile," she continued. "There are wonderful things about social media—connecting with fans, seeing how happy and excited they are and their stories. But usually that’s filtered through [for me now]. I created a system. Everything I do I send to my assistant who posts them.

"As far as comments, my team will put together a few things that are encouraging."

Congratulations to her!
