The figure, dressed in a black-and-white checkered outfit that Selena previously wore while promoting her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, in Paris, was revealed on August 27.

Social media users expressed their amazement at how lifelike the figure appeared, with some mistaking it for the real Selena.

Selena Gomez has had a busy year, including her Emmy nomination for Only Murders in the Building, releasing new music, and continuing her work on Rare Beauty.

In a May interview with TIME, she spoke about societal beauty pressures and emphasized that her brand promotes self-acceptance, not the need to wear makeup.

On her music career, Selena discussed the emotional toll of touring, which she hasn’t done since 2016. Beyond her professional life, Selena has been dating record producer Benny Blanco since mid-2023.

Despite their relationship, Selena emphasized her independence, reflecting on her five years of being single and her plan to adopt if she hadn’t met anyone by 35.

Young Flying Fish Swimming In Maltese Waters

Aug 28 2024

Marine biologist Alan Deidun shared footage of a ‘graceful juvenile flying fish’ filmed in Maltese waters.

The footage was sent to Deidun by Reuben Chirchop St. John, and the marine biologist took to opportunity to explain that there are at least 4 different species of flying fish within the Mediterranean.

One of them, Cheilopogon heterurus, has been given the Maltese name of rundinell (local name for ‘swift’, a bird species) – quite appropriate for a fish that literally hovers out of the water with wing-like fins.

Have you ever spotted these marvellous creatures?
