Selena teamed it with a pair of loose-fitting grey sweatpants that had writing going down one leg.

She draped a black leather designer purse with gold hardware over her torso crossbody-style.

Gomez exposed a dark pedicure in her casual, fuzzy slides, which had a slight platform.

She used two hands to carry a shopping bag full of food goods to her car in the seaside neighborhood.

She was there to participate in the Mental Health Youth Action Forum to continue her mental health advocacy.

The panel brought together youth leaders who are working on creative ways to support mental health in the US.

Selena – who is the founder of charity Rare Impact Fund – was open about her struggles with anxiety and bipolar disorder as she said: ‘The mentionable becomes manageable.

‘Just to throw in a little bit of my journey, I felt like once I found out what was going on mentally… there was more freedom for me to be OK with what I had, because I was learning about it. It sets the example that it’s a topic that can and should be discussed freely and without shame.’

She went on to explain at the forum, ‘When it comes to talking about and destigmatizing mental health, I want to ensure that everyone, no matter their age, their race, religion, sexual orientation, have access to services that support their mental health.

‘And I want to challenge other businesses and individuals to make a difference in the world by taking action to destigmatize mental health. We need as much help as we can possibly get developing resources and services and increasing access to those services for young people.’
