Selena Gomez has deleted a pair of racy selfies moments after posting them on social media.
Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the 31-year-old posted a series of new photos flaunting her curves in a black bandeau top paired with a sultry expression as she stared into the camera.
The second photo was also similar but gave fans a close-up of the star's face, which showed off a gorgeous soft glam look, with Gomez opting for a bronze shadow in the crease of her eyelids with a thick layer of mascara and fluffy brows.
The look was completed with a bold, red lip and layered gold-hooped earrings.
Though the images were quickly deleted just moments after, a handful of fans managed to save them and repost them onto multiple social media platforms including X (formerly Twitter) where they immediately went viral.
"Idc what anyone says, Selena Gomez has never looked better," wrote one user, while another added: "Selena Gomez will forever look Gorgeous to me, in whatever shape and size she is, she is an amazing human and my love for her is unconditional."
The star didn't give a reason for deleting the pictures, but some contemplated whether it was because they almost captured a risky wardrobe malfunction - which would have been a crisis in itself - while others suggested that it may be due to some hateful comments shaming the former Disney Channel star about her weight.
When it comes to her body, Gomez has never shied away from discussing how she maintains a positive mindset - even despite the negativity and criticism she receives about the issue.
Earlier this year, she bravely opened up in a comparison post stating that she came to terms with the fact that "[she] will never look like this again" while sharing a bikini photo of herself from 2013.
She accompanied the post with another image and a powerful message about self-acceptance and body positivity.
"I’m not perfect, but I am proud to be who I am... Sometimes I forget it’s ok to be me," she wrote in the follow-up. "I just want to encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what they’re going through and nobody knows the real story."
The 'Lose You To Love Me' singer has previously also taken to TikTok to get real about the medication she takes for her lupus, an auto-immune disease she suffers from, affects her weight.
"I tend to hold a lot of water weight and that happens very normally, and then when I’m off it I tend to kind of lose weight," she said in the clip. "I just wanted to say and encourage anyone out there who feels any sort of shame for exactly what [you’re] going through, [when] nobody knows the real story... you’re beautiful and you’re wonderful."
"Not a model, never will be," she also added. "Thanks for supporting me and understanding and, if not... go away. Because honestly I don’t believe in shaming people for [their] body or anything."
Go off, girl!
