Selena Gomez has been on a creative catnap, but now she is back and better than before, having traded in her VMA glitz for some Oscar whisper to prove she is more than just a music maven–a Hollywood trailblazer, too. While the Emmys had her prepping for a snub, Gomez’s cannonball into the action scene caught the literary world’s attention for the starring role in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. And since fans are always on the lookout and, more importantly, ahead of most, they have already conjured up a dreamy vision of Gomez as Evelyn, and everyone is totally here for it.

When the discussions of the forthcoming Netflix adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo began, the speculation was electric about who would land the role of Evelyn Hugo. Then, when Reid hit that follow button for Selena Gomez on Instagram, fans were convinced they found the perfect match. Now, leaning on the fans’ imagination, an X user, kyslandd has cooked up a dreamy AI-generated vision of Gomez as Evelyn Hugo in a fabulous green strapless jumpsuit, chic blonde curly short hair, bold red lips, and a statement necklace. 

For those who do not know, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo follows the tale of a fictional, reclusive Latina star from Old Hollywood. While the official cast is still under wraps, Netflix announced in 2022 that Headland would direct a script by Liz Tigelaar, with Taylor Jenkins Reid herself on board as executive producer. With Netflix announcing their take on the masterpiece, BookTokers and Bookstagrammers were all over the updates like glitter on a disco ball.

Though Tinseltown may keep its secrets close, when the buzz starts swirling about a project, fans go the extra mile to uncover the juicy details before the big shots do. In a realm fueled by imagination and fan theories—thanks to AI giving life to their visions—fans jumped at the chance to fan-cast Selena Gomez before the creators even had a chance.

Many fans were already bucking up with preemptive worry about the backlash Selena Gomez might face if she accepted the role with some even opposed to it.

Meanwhile, others were totally smitten by the imagined casting, claiming the role could fit her like a glove. Whether the creators of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo will take note remains to be seen, but with fans wholeheartedly shipping the newly minted billionaire for their vision, the reaction would likely be just as fabulous if it became a reality.
