At Monday night’s Wizards Beyond Waverly Place premiere, Selena Gomez was the epitome of Hollywood glitz. 

At the legendary El Capitan Theatre, the actress, who was adored for her part as Alex Russo in the original Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012, turned heads with a seductive, plunging red sequin gown.

Selena flashed a bright smile to the cameras, displaying her toned legs in a thigh-high cut that exuded confidence and bombshell appeal. 

With only a hint of makeup, the 32-year-old star of Only Murders in the Building let her natural beauty shine. She accessorized the look with eye-catching ruby-red heels that complemented her stunning gown. 

She embraced the spotlight and celebrated the beauty of the series that launched her career, looking happy to be reunited with her former co-stars David Henrie, Janice LeAnn Brown, and Ayo Davis.

David expressed his delight about working with Selena again on the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place production earlier this year, saying that fans will experience a unique sense of nostalgia from the resurrection. 

It was fantastic. We wished it would never end. He told Us Weekly that it was fantastic.

The 34-year-old actor, who co-starred with Gomez on Wizards of Waverly Place from 2007 to 2012 as the siblings Justin and Alex Russo, was gushing over his co-star, saying, “She’s so good.” She has a sharp sense of humor that has only gotten better.

They shot “a couple scenes that I think will choke up the original fans…they’re really touching, and they went really well,” he continued. I’m eager for you to see it, then.
