Selena Gomez looks stunning at UNICEF event

Selena Gomez looked nothing short of glamorous when she stepped out for the 2012 UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York City this past Tuesday night. According to AceShowBiz, the stunning brunette donned a black sleeveless dress with a glittering trim. She paired the look with ruby earrings, a matching cocktail ring and a black clutch.

Gomez was also the UNICEF ambassador for this particular event, and she was more than pleased to host.

"I feel I'm able to use my voice and my platform and my audience to educate them on issues that are going on around the world," Gomez said of her position with the nonprofit.

This is one of the most notable black-tie events in New York City this time of year. During the gala, the UNICEF Snowflakes are lit in honor of those who have been committed to saving children's lives across the globe.

Those who love the way Gomez dresses can achieve similar looks by shopping for costume jewelry such as the 5 CT TW Cushion-Cut Ruby Ring in 14k Gold Over Sterling Silver for much less.
