If there’s one thing that Selena Gomez can nail every time, it’s a no-makeup and natural hair selfie. The Only Murders in the Building actress, 30, just wowed her 402 million Instagram followers with another throwback pic, this time a cute snap of her younger self with bedhead messy hair, her signature bare-faced glow, and a sweet memory of her and “bestie” Connar Franklin.
In the image, the two girls pose in graphic tees with wolves printed on them as Gomez holds an iPad. She captioned her post, “What do we do during our sleep that this is the result? I thought I never moved.. love you bestie.” Oh, how this makes us miss the early 2000s!

Selena Gomez Uploads A Sunlit Makeup-Free Selfie And Quotes Miley Cyrus
Last month, Gomez added a beautiful bare-faced selfie post and stunned with her radiant, all-natural and glowing complexion. The Wizards of Waverly Place alum posed in front of a window with sunlight rays emphasizing her dewy skin and wavy, shiny brunette tresses.
The “My Mind & Me” singer uploaded two photos of herself in the sunny setting, and wrote in her caption, “Violet chemistry.” This, as fans know, refers to the song by her friend Miley Cyrus of the same name off her new record, Endless Summer Vacation.
The song that Gomez chose for her IG caption has lyrics that detail finding a former lover on a dance floor at a club and going home together at the end of the night. It’s an undeniably catchy and emotive tune, and another great track from Cyrus’ eighth studio album that also spawned her mega-hit “Flowers.” Cyrus responded to the caption, and sweetly left a red heart comment under Gomez’s selfie.
