‘For her millions of fans,’ says Katie Grand, ‘Selena is the ultimate, magical woman next door. We couldn’t be more delighted to dedicate a special issue to her.’
Earlier Gomez said forged a deeper connection with her Mexican idenтιтy by starring in Emilia Perez.
The 32-year-old star plays the role of Jessi Del Monte in the Spanish-language movie and explained that the part was ‘meaningful’ as she has Mexican heritage on her father Ricardo’s side of the family.
Selena told Entertainment Weekly of performing in Spanish: ‘I just wanted to know that I could do it.

‘What’s really difficult about my position is that I am really surrounded by predominantly white English-speaking people. So, to be a part of something like this was truly meaningful because I’m very proud of who I am.
‘I may not be fluent, but that doesn’t make me less proud or less Mexican in my eyes. I think it’s about what my last name has always meant to me: it’s my family. It’s everything that’s a part of me.’
The former Disney star hopes that she will be able to speak Spanish in a future role as she fears her grasp of the language could diminish if she isn’t talking in it regularly.
Selena said: ‘Everyone around us was speaking Spanish mainly, and when you’re not around that, it’s definitely hard to keep it going. That’s the only bummer thing for me personally, but I hope it’s not my last project I do in Spanish. It is something that I feel I’ve gotten better at.

The ‘Only Murders in the Building’ actress continued: ‘I think I’ll always want to do something, and this was just a taste of it. I was so excited, and the result was life-giving.
‘I feel like whether it’s music or if it’s a part of a show or a movie, I am completely open. I would love that. The more I learn, the better it is for my soul.’
