Selena Gomez's most gorgeous hairstyles over the years

Experimenting with fashion-forward hair looks is what pop star turned actress Selena Gomez does best. When she first began to shrug off her clean-cut Disney star image, the 24-year-old played things relatively safe with tumbling, tonged waves and polished half-up, half-down styles, but she's come a long way since then.

From the side-swept glossy look she chose for the LACMA Art + Film Gala in 2014 to the artfully dishevelled ponytail she rocked in New York this week, we can't get enough of Selena's incredible hairstyles.

Having tapped into the streetwear trend on a number of occasions in recent months, Selena chose to complement the bold fuchsia outfit she rocked in New York recently with a centre-parted high pony complete with face-framing tendrils. The Bad Liar singer topped everything off with a glossy pink lip.

A stunning and ever so sophisticated choice, Selena's glossy waves have been styled to perfection. The 24-year-old opted to tuck one side of her hair behind her ear so that her striking silver earring could take centre stage, and we're seriously impressed.

Not for the faint-hearted, Selena's sleek chignon sent the media into a frenzy when she stepped out at the 13 Reasons Why premiere in Los Angeles earlier this year. Pinned at the nape of her neck, her chic hair look was the ultimate accessory to her tangerine Oscar de la Renta dress.

Selena chose a wow-inducing fishtail plait for her appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman at the Ed Sullivan Theater in October 2013. Wearing the style high on her head, the star drew attention to her elfin features, while the '90s-inspired scrunchie pulled her all-black look together beautifully.

Having lopped off her beautiful chocolate-hued lengths earlier this year, Selena rocked a seriously stylish 'do at the Met Gala in May. Her high maintenance look will no doubt have required a good dose of smoothing cream along with the application of a shine-enhancing serum to finish. Bravo, Selena!

Proving that she can work a terrifically voluminous look, Selena didn't disappoint with this glamorous, centre-parted 'do. Likely created using a salt spray, some scrunching action and plenty of hairspray, we can't wait to give this style a whirl at home...

The former Disney star completed her grunge-meets-glam ensemble with a decidedly sleek hair look and it worked a treat. Selena often accentuates her pretty facial features by tucking one side of her hair behind her ear and this style is an example of it done brilliantly.
