Selena Gomez sends hearts racing with Billboard cover shoot: 'You are beautiful inside and out'

Selena Gomez has been enjoying her life following a health scare that saw her undergo a kidney transplant earlier this summer due to complications with her lupus condition.

The Same Old Love singer recently reunited with her former flame Justin Bieber, 23, after romancing The Weeknd, 27, for 10 months. Gomez and Bieber were in a relationship between 2010 and 2014.

On Thursday (30 November), the songstress, 25, was honoured with the 2017 Billboard Women of the Year award in Hollywood. She also graced the cover of Billboard magazine, with the songstress taking to social media to give her fans the first glimpse at the image.

Wearing a classy nude-coloured gown, she is seen striking a sexy pose for the camera while seated on a comfy sofa. She accentuates her look with a pair of large earrings and the perfect hair and makeup to match her outfit.

"Thank you beyond for your acknowledgement and honor @billboard but honestly thank you more for the event you held for women. That night was so inspiring and every woman spoke eloquently and with such force," she wrote next to the picture of her that she shared on Instagram.

She went on, "I'll try to continue to give my best to even remotely live up to a title. In the meantime, I hope we all continue to give our best when the world wants to give us the worst. We aren't stopping the fight."

Fans of the singer are going crazy over the photo, which has already garnered more than 3,327,000 likes on the photo-and-video-sharing.

A fan commented, "Congrats my The best Woman of the Year " while another gushed, saying, "In my heart, you are always the woman of the year ❤❤❤❤."

Someone else said, "Ur the best Selena even though my sister hates you just because of 'someone'. I will still listen to your wonderful and inspiring songs you make for us! :)" while another admirer added, "Congratulations @selenagomez you truly deserve it. You are beautiful inside and out."
