Every once in a while, a star steps out looking like she's headed to shoot a "Jailhouse Rock" remix video and we find ourselves asking the same age-old question: Can thick black-and-white stripes ever work? 

Today that lucky (or maybe unlucky?) lady is Selena Gomez, which makes the debate even tougher because there's little the Getaway leading lady can do wrong in our book.

And yet, does she not look like a smooth criminal or a Beetlejuice super fan?

Minus the bold pattern, this look is perfectly chic. The high-waisted black skinnies are slimming but still highlight the "Come & Get It" singer's perfect curves. And we're way into the Yoko Ono shades. Even those pointy boots are perfect, despite the fact that they have no place in 90-degree Los Angeles weather.

So can Selena make us switch our stance on the stripes? Thanks to the all-around effect of this cool cat look, yes. Agree or disagree?
