These candid fotos are crucial for the "style gallery" aspect because they are attainable. You can’t afford a crystal jumpsuit, but you can replicate Selena’s mall look tomorrow.

: A polaroid with her husband, Chris Pérez. She is in an oversized flannel shirt (unbuttoned, of course, over a black tank top), ripped jeans, and a baseball cap worn backwards. She is barefoot. She looks 17, though she is 23.

Around it, a collage of “The Purple Variations.” There’s the 1993 Houston Rodeo photo where the purple is lighter, almost lilac, paired with turquoise jewelry. There’s the 1994 Corpus Christi performance where she adds a massive, silver concho belt. And then —a rare backstage polaroid—where she is laughing, adjusting the sleeve, revealing that she has safety-pinned a loose strap. Even an icon has wardrobe malfunctions. She just fixed them with a smile.
