Look lovely in lace and leather like Selena

Awkward history aside, these two ladies looked just lovely at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2015 event here in Palm Springs.

Naturally, the girls stepped out in the designer of the evening, with Selena opting for the complete look - matching shoes and all - straight off the Fall 2015 runway.

Leather and lace has long been a favoured combination - the perfect contrast between feminine and androgynous, with the lace details giving the biker leather a girly twist.

While being stark opposites in terms of materials, they seems to go hand in hand and look perfect here on Selena's dress.

'I'm always good mates with everyone and stay on the good side of people. I never let any bad blood between anyone,' he added.

Having said that, Cody seems to be relieved his romance with 20-year-old American model Gigi is over, after the pair announced their split in May via a joint statement. 

He told the Today Show: 'I was in a highly publicised relationship for a while and now it's kind of nice to be able to just chill and like work on my music'. 

Following his recent split with Gigi, the Australian singer has been spotted partying it up with his mates, and leaving nightclubs with a string of mystery girls.
