The Selena tattoo by Maria Becerra
Maria Becerra walked the red carpet at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards in a gorgeous sleeveless long white dress, showing off her Selena-inspired tattoo on her right arm. It's ink she got recently, confesses the Argentine hitmaker. “I got it less than a year ago,” says Becerra, who performed Borracha at the ceremony alongside Gloria Trevi. “It's a tattoo that really represents me a lot. Everyone knows Selena for me, those who know me, the music I make, the way I dress, they know that she is a clear example for me not only as a singer but as a person and fashion icon that she was. The truth is, she's always there for me, that's why I got her [name] with tattoos.”
