Selena Gomez has traded in her Skittles manicure and rainbow wig for full-on '80s Barbiecore.

On December 10, Gomez crashed her Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Martin Short's Saturday Night Live monologue. During their most recent opening bit, the pair joked about hosting each other's future funerals. "Now that Marty is gone, who will I ever work with?" Martin quipped.

"What about me?" Gomez said as she joined the pair on stage in a little black dress and large gold hoops, with her hair styled in a half-up high ponytail. For her part, Gomez hosted SNL for the first time just this past March.

Following the episode, Selena Gomez went from Wednesday to Barbie for the obligatory Saturday Night Live After Party. Gomez dressed in an oversized hot pink sweater dress, which she wore off one shoulder and paired with matching pink tights and platform heels. Somebody cast this woman in a remake of Fame, STAT.

For her makeup look, Gomez opted for a taupe smokey eye with black winged liner and brownish nude lipstick by Rare Beauty.

While Martin has hosted SNL 16 times and Short has helmed the variety show on three occasions, Selena Gomez got her first shot at the position this past March (she performed as the musical guest in January 2016). “One reason I'm really excited to host SNL is because I'm single,” Gomez said in her opening monologue. “And I've heard that SNL is a great place to find romance. Emma Stone met her husband here, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, and Pete and….Machine Gun Kelly.”

She continued, “Since I don't really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it out in the universe that I'm manifesting love. I would like to say that I'm looking for my soul mate, but at this point, I will take anyone.”

Selena Gomez has been keeping her dating life private but is getting ready to open up. In a recent interview about her documentary My Mind & Me, the singer shared that she's working on new music…and it's gonna get personal. “I’m now telling stories that people don’t know. People I’ve dated that people don’t know, experiences I’ve had that people don’t know,"  Gomez explained in November. "I created this whole private life that was just mine. And I feel like now I have to tell these stories. And people are gonna ask a lot of questions.”

Maybe she'll answer some of those questions during her next SNL hosting gig while pulling double duty as the musical guest.

Selena Gomez and Stacey Abrams are to produce a new music documentary, "Won't Be Silent" for Discovery+. Here's what we know so far.

These love song quotes include some of the most romantic lyrics out there. Say "I love you" with help from artists like Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and more.

It’s already a number one new release.
