For the first time ever, SELENA GOMEZ covers the July issue of ELLE Magazine -- lens by Carter Smith. The 19-year-old actress-turned-popstar has been the subject of many tabloid chatter, mostly centering around her highly publicized relationship with Justin Bieber, but also due to her burgeoning pop music career, a debut signature fragrance and two upcoming movies -- the animated "Hotel Transylvania" and next year's "Spring Breakers", where Selena more than sheds her Disney girl image. Not only did she make her ELLE debut, but she did it twice over with a special double issue. For the bright yellow glossy cover, with her name written boldy across her body, Joe Zee styled Selena in a printed tunic from the Fall 2012 collection by Balmain as her long beachy waves, courtesy of hairstylist Harry Josh, cascaded over her shoulders. The second cover finds Selena in a gorgeous gold embroidered corset dress by Dolce & Gabbana.
