Selena Gomez Gears Up For Prom

Prom is still months away for most teens, but Selena Gomez is already thinking about the big high school dance.

“I really love long dresses, so I’d definitely be the girl in the full-length gown,” Selena told Seventeen’s Prom special. “Even though I love the look of mermaid dresses, I personally never feel confident in them. For me, I’m most comfortable in long, flowy strapless or one-shoulder dresses. And lately I’ve been drawn to all shades of purple.”

While she may have reportedly split with a handful of Hollywood hunks earlier this year, Selena said going to prom with friends is more fun that heading into the dance with a date.

“I find that if you go with people you love, it makes everything better. I think it’s awesome to have a date for prom, but personally, I’d be the girl who’d go with all of her girlfriends,” she said.

As for pre-prom rituals, Selena said it involves a lot of eating.

“I eat breakfast, then I usually like to start getting ready two hours before because I like to take my time. I don’t like scrambling. Normally I’ll start with my hair, then I’ll get up and play music and eat again. I like eating before I get into my dress — it’s more comfortable, plus I don’t want to get food on my dress before I even start the night! And then right before I leave the house, I always look at my mom and say, ‘How do I look?’” Selena told the mag. “I know she’ll say something like, ‘Oh, that’s beautiful!’ or ‘That’s my favorite thing you’ve ever worn!’ And it always makes me feel confident — that way, I get to start the night thinking, Yes!”
