We really couldn’t be happier that our beloved Tejano Queen Selena Quintanilla is still, 22 years after her early departure, getting so much mainstream attention. This time it was Kim Kardashian who paid tribute to La Reina by donning her iconic purple jumpsuit.
Kardashian looked flawless in her costume, wish we could say the same about her dancing, the reality star uploaded an Instagram story of her wearing the jumpsuit and awkwardly dancing to the rhythm of Selena’s hit single ‘Bidi Bidi Bom Bom’. While one could argue that Kim’s moves are not ideal, the whole purpose behind Selena’s music it to let go and just be confident and happy about yourself, so we celebrate Kim’s courage for trying.

Some would argue that Kim did the look even better than Demi Lovato who wore the same outfit. Much like the Disney Channel’s actress, Kim styled her hair with heavy dark bangs and a red lip to match the original look.

While some feel that Kim K nailed the look, others are not too certain with the Twittersphere has been buzzing with contrasting opinions on her costume. They attacked her on all fronts and blamed her for ruining Halloween and not being appreciative enough of Selena’s music to wear the costume.
I love Selena, I'm Mexi… & I'm not upset Kim K dressed as Selena. She was music icons all weekend. Why not Selena?! And she looked FIRE!

Fortunately for Kardashian’s sake, some people also stood up for her right to pay homage to our culture, including Mexican Nike marathon runner Krystal Blanca who approved of Kardashian’s choice of Halloween costume and said that the reality TV star “looked fire”. What do you think of Kardashian’s costume? Did she wear it better than Demi? Let us know!
