She’s bounced back after undergoing a secret kidney transplant to help her ongoing battle with lupus over the summer.
And Selena Gomez looked healthy and relaxed as she ran errands in New York City on Wednesday.
The singer and actress, 25, was pretty in prints as she stepped out in a summery baby blue patterned tea dress for her low-key day in Manhattan.

Selena has been based in New York since earlier this summer when she moved into a $16,000-a-month apartment in Greenwich Village with her Grammy-winning musician boyfriend The Weeknd, 27.
The actress started dating the Starboy hitmaker – real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye – in January, just weeks after his split from long-term girlfriend, supermodel Bella Hadid, 21, a former friend of Selena’s.

The move from Los Angeles to New York City came when Selena landed a role in Woody Allen’s as-yet-untitled new project alongside the likes of Elle Fanning, Jude Law and Timothée Chalamet.
Selena has been back at work in recent weeks after revealing she had undergone a secret transplant when she suffered kidney failure back in May.
The star’s best friend Francia Raisa, 29, stepped in as a kidney donor to help after Selena was put on the transplant list – and was found to be a match.
Selena said in a heartwarming statement at the time: ‘I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.

‘So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health.
‘I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you.
‘Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery.
‘And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
‘I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.’
The two have long been friends, after first meeting nine years ago at a Disney and ABC Family charity event at the Children’s Hospital when Selena was just 15.
They call one another ‘sister’ and Francia was at Selena’s side through her highly-publicized breakup with Justin Bieber, 23, in 2015.
