The Selena Gomez cover
story for the April 2017 issue of American Vogue
is a treat for the eyes and ears.
The cover story’s writer Rob
Haskell’s words fit perfectly with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott’s vibrant
photography shot in Los Angeles.
In one photo, Selena steps
out of a cherry red car, which calls to mind the story’s sentence about Selena
enjoying “long drives with her girlfriends.”
The feature story opens
with Selena cooking a Mexican dinner with “Mexican cheese.” Vibrant floral outfits
by Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana, Our Lady of Guadalupe candles and large
hoop earrings by Jennifer Fisher emphasize the Mexican theme.
Selena’s “humble
beginnings” are visualized in one of the best photos in the spread.
In the photo, she sits
suggestively on a floral mattress leaned against the wall of a building. She
shows off her long legs in a floral Dolce & Gabbana dress. The photo
relates perfectly to when Selena shares a memory with Rob Haskell of when she was
“asked to feel between the cushions in the car for change so that they [she and
her mother] could buy Styrofoam cups of ramen.”

Words in magazines are not
separate from the photography and they work in harmony with the photography. The
Selena Gomez American Vogue cover
story is a prime example of this.
