Notwithstanding negative reports addressed to Rihanna, Selena Gomez confesses she looks up to the R 'n' B songstress. "I think she's very strong and classy. ... She carries herself very well," enthuses the Disney actress-singer.

Aside from her admiration for Rihanna, Selena recently revealed that she has a lot of respect for actresses Natalie Portman and Rachel Bilson. About the two movie beauties she raved, "Rachel Bilson is very classy. She can go to the gas station or walk the dog and still look gorgeous and very classic and chic. I admire that. I have pictures of her and Natalie Portman on my wall of inspiration for the clothes I want to design."

Last month, Women's Wear Daily reported Selena Gomez has teamed up with a group of industry experts that consisted of Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos to launch her own fashion line, dubbed "Dream Out Loud by Selena Gomez". The line was said focusing on "pretty, feminine and bohemian" clothing, which Selena claimed mirroring her own style. The collection included dresses, floral printed tops, jeans, skirts, jackets and some accessories such as scarves and hats.

Most recently, Selena was spotted attending the 2009 Annual American Music Awards at Nokia Theatre in L.A. Billed as an award presenter, she arrived at the event wearing a silver Talbot Runhof gathered dress matched with a pair of black-colored heels.
