Last year, she co-founded Wondermind, which aims to “democratize and destigmatize” mental health, and this week marks the premiere of her documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me, which offers an intimate look at her life over the past six years while she battled life-changing health issues.

It’s safe to say that the only accessories more closely associated with Carrie than the Fendi baguette bag are Manolo Blahniks. And since we already had a Manolo collab fit for the style icon herself earlier this year, it only makes sense that now we can complete the look.
