Selena Gomez wouldn’t wanna be anybody else.

The Emmy nominee got real with her followers, sharing a set of bikini photos a decade apart while highlighting the evolution of her body through the years.

In the snaps posted to her Jan. 22 Instagram stories, Gomez reflected on a photo from 2013, in which she’s captured wearing a zebra-print string bikini.

“Today I realized I will never look like this again…” the Rare Beauty founder wrote.

Gomez followed up with a photo from 2023, in which she’s seen with a curvier figure, donning a high-waisted bikini bottom and tube top.

“I’m not perfect, but I am proud to be who I am… Sometimes I forget it’s OK to be me,” she captioned the pic.

The posts came roughly two weeks after Gomez appeared at the 81st Annual Golden Globes on Jan. 7, during which internet trolls attacked her appearance, claiming she had gained weight.

The “Only Murders in the Building” star has previously had to clap back at body-shamers who criticized her figure.

“Honestly, I don’t care about my weight because people b—h about it anyway,” she said on TikTok in 2022. “‘You’re too small,’ ‘you’re too big,’ ‘that doesn’t fit.’ ‘Meh meh meh meh.'”

“I am perfect the way I am,” she continued. “Moral of the story? Bye.”

In an Instagram video in March of 2023, the pop star shared a message on what she would tell her younger self.

“Something I wish I could tell my younger self is: Appreciate the face and the body that you have,” Gomez said in the video. “May not look like everyone else, but you are who you are, and be proud of that.”
