Selena Gomez graced the cover of Elle magazine's July 2012 issue. The 19-year-old beauty looks sexy as she gazes provocatively into the camera on the cover shoot. She is wearing an embellished mesh corset dress from Dolce & Gabbana.

In July's issue, Selena talks about her beau Justin Bieber. She describes him as a "hopeless romantic", talking about the time he rented out the Staples Center for her so they can have a private screening of Titanic. "If I'll share anything with you, it's that he really is a hopeless romantic," she says to Elle. "I had just mentioned it in the car--all I said is that I really want to see Titanic again, and then."

She also talked about growing up poor. "I can remember about seven times when our car got stuck on the highway because we'd run out of gas money." Selena's parents divorced when she was five years old she was raised as an only child by her mother.

Gomez also talked about starring in "Wizards of Waverly Place" on Disney. "Disney is a machine, so people automatically assume that you can't work for the channel unless you act and sing and dance and sign up for all that. That's absolutely not true. I always did everything the way I wanted to do it."
