Selena Gomez appeared to seriously overdo it with the fake tan as she left her hotel to make her way to the Met Gala on Monday evening.

It was clear her make-up artist had been feeling loose with the bronzer brush when the pop singer, 25, was snapped leaving her New York hotel.

As the star hitched up the train of her dress as she glided out the door and into her waiting car, her face was noticeably a completely different colour to her ankles.

Selena’s sartorial choice also failed to set the carpet alight at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, reports the Mirror.

She opted for a white frock by Coach, featuring a sheer white skirt and embellished plunging neckline.

But the layered look swallowed her slight frame and looked more suited to the daytime.

This Twitter user summed it up: ‘Selena Gomez looks like she’s going to prom with that fake tan job.’

A second said: ‘Whatever fake tan Selena Gomez has on plz remind me to stay away from it.’

And: ‘Selena Gomez is absolutely stunning but her tan and makeup are so unflattering tonight at the met gala.

‘She honestly looks better with no makeup.’
