Can't get better than this! Selena Gomez stands out in bold yellow raincoat at WE Day California event in LA before sizzling performance on stage

Selena Gomez may have checked the weather forecast, which predicted a 30 percent chance of rain in Los Angeles.

Or she may have just loved the color as she wore a bright yellow raincoat to the WE Day California event at The Forum on Thursday.

Selena, 23, wore her shiny wrap well and over a pair of faded denim high-waisted jeans and simple white T-shirt and for her performance on stage she upped the ante in a sheer flowing black dress over a tiny black crop top and black hot pants with thigh-high boots.

The Good For You singer added chartreuse pumps with sensibly low heels and a fetching choker around her neck.

Selena was among the stars performing for a crowd made up of students, educators and others at the inspiring event, which served to 'celebrate the power young people have to change the world.'

The Come & Get It songstress revved them all up with a powerful rendition of her tune Kill Em’ With Kindness.

Walk tall in a pair of classic Manolo Blahnik suede pumps

Selena Gomez saw the weather report and showed up to her event in Los Angeles perfectly attired in a The Row yellow rain coat, The Row tee and Vetements patchwork jeans. However, we think she might have ruined those amazing Manolo Blahnik BB pumps if it did rain. Thankfully no shoe was harmed in the process of making this outfit.

The suede pointy toe stilettos are a classic that can be worn a number of ways. Rock them with a pair of jeans and a blouse like Selena, wear them to work with a sheath dress, or team them with this season's hottest red carpet look - the tailored pantsuit.

At $595, the nude pumps are a pricey investment but well worth the cost since they will never go out of style. Furthermore Manolos is known for their incredible comfort that can go from work to play and keep you standing all day. Click right to buy them at Barneys New York.

From the stage, Selena told them: 'Today is my fourth time on the We Day stage. I continue to be inspired by the young people who are breaking down barriers and creating real change around the world.'

She pranced around on stage in a revealing black outfit comprised of a tiny crop top, hot pants and thigh-high boots beneath a long and sheer dress. 

Selena had mass appeal as she posed for selfies with the young fans and signed autographs.

Not a strand of her long and thick brown hair seemed out of place either, and her make-up was perfectly applied in natural tones of brown and beige with a hint of rosy lip gloss.
