Selena Gomez has not appeared on a red carpet in 10 months as she took a break in the fall of 2018 to check into a mental health facility.

But on Thursday the Fetish singer made a big splash in a plunging black dress as she made her big return. The Wizards Of Waverly Place vet was gracing the carpet at the WE Day California event in Los Angeles alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nina Dobrev and Natalie Portman.

Before attending the event the cover girl said, 'Every year, WE Day leaves me feeling inspired and hopeful. The youth have an incredible positive and passionate attitude for making real change in the world. I’m so proud to celebrate young people’s year of social change and to remind them that together, we are an unstoppable movement dedicated to a brighter and better tomorrow.'

The 26-year-old singer admitted that her pals Ashley Cook, Raquelle Stevens and Courtney Lopez have been her support network.

'My friends, without a doubt, have saved my life in multiple situations,' she said.

'I mean that. Because they're honest, they're loving, they unconditionally love, they never judge, and they give me sound advice.'

And she loves that they are not like the women from Mean Girls.

'I've seen a lot of cattiness, and I think it's so important to have healthy friendships. I really do,' she also remarked.

The Back To You hitmaker also explained that her group 'aren't afraid to be honest' with one another.

And she feels her pals will always be 'supportive and encouraging' of each other.

She said: 'I have three amazing, amazing friends and they are supportive, they are encouraging and when one of us maybe slips and falls, we aren't afraid to be honest with each other.

'I just find that when I'm around other people or when I bring my friends with me to some places, people talk about our friendship, and I want girls to have that because it's just so competitive and it's very catty.'

The I Can't Get Enough singer added that although all her friends are individuals and have perused different careers they all 'love each other'.

She said: 'And all my friends are different: one's in real estate, one works in social media, one works in foundations. It's just great. We're all so different and we love each other.'

The WE charity is an international charity and educational partner.
