She revealed recently that she was ‘aching’ to do more adult-oriented music as she ‘felt 𝓈ℯ𝓍y.’
And Selena Gomez put that sultriness on show during her latest national performance.
The 23-year-old singer scintillated during her two performances on Saturday Night Live in two racy black numbers.

Cuddle party: The performance saw the 23-year-old singer getting intimate with two dancers
Perhaps the most steamiest performance was her second of the night as she did a more upbeat version of new single Hands To Myself which ended with a male and female background dancer caressing her body.
It began with her getting out of a circular bed draped in black velvet as she showed off her body in a black nightie.
A male dancer came out to sit on the bed as she sat on his lap and pursued her around the stage then after a lift a female dancer came up and smiled seductively at Selena.

Too close for comfort: At one point Selena and the male dancer looked like they were about to kiss
After the bridge of the song, Selena, jumped into bed as her two dancers flanked her in an embrace then placed their hands all over her while circling her body.
Earlier in the night, she looked just as 𝓈ℯ𝓍y as she performed Good For You in a provocative black gown.
The long dress featured an extremely low-cut neckline with a very thigh-high split as she sported matching black stilettos.

Her long, raven-coloured tresses were worn down into waves flowing over her shoulders as her natural, complimentary make-up was topped off with smokey eye make-up.
For the very slow-beat song, she had several men draped in black turtlenecks sitting on chairs all around her as they snapped along to the hit single.
She certainly seemed to be very proud of her two performances as she posted a promotional snap on both Instagram and Twitter.

Selena wore another low-cut number in the picture which she captioned: ‘Thank you SO much @nbcsnl for a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥hood dream come true #SelenaOnSNL.’
In a recent interview released by Rolling Stone, she touched on several topics including her choice of performing more adult music.
The former girlfriend of Justin Bieber discussed how she ‘freaked out’ when she first heard her track Good For You having just moved out of the house that she had shared with her mother and stepfather and hiring a new manager to replace her mom.
Selena explained: ‘I felt confident and comfortable in who I am. I felt 𝓈ℯ𝓍y. I was aching to do stuff like that.’
