Selena Gomez says she 'wishes she was as pretty as' model Bella Hadid after admitting her 'girl crush' in a since-deleted video shared on TikTok and Instagram.
The Love You Like a Love Song hitmaker, 30, was recreating one of the 26-year-old supermodel's videos when she gushed over the social media star.
She lip-synched along to a clip of Hadid saying "So, my name, my name is Bella Hadid" - while applying a filter to her face throughout the video.
Adding text on-screen, Selena wrote: "I wish I was as pretty as Bella Hadid." All before she described Bella, the sister of Gigi Hadid, as her "girl crush".
