A Bite of Fame: What Do Selena Gomez, Harry Styles, and More Crave?
As fabulous as their lives may seem, celebrities are people too. And people need to eat. But when you’re rich and famous, your options expand far beyond takeout and TV dinners. Indeed, the culinary whims of stars can be as entertaining as their on-screen exploits. Read on for a tempting taste of a few celebrities’ favorite foods.
For Selena Gomez, childhood flavors still hit the spot. The Texas native recently revealed on the Kelly Clarkson Show that as a little girl, she loved a peculiar frozen treat: pickled snow cones sprinkled with grape pieces. While this combination may seem bizarre to some, for Selena, it’s a nostalgic bite of home. And though her life has dramatically changed, she still craves those tart, tangy flavors.
Meanwhile, Harry Styles’ foodie obsession skews south of the border. It’s abundantly clear that the British heartthrob has an insatiable appetite for Mexican cuisine. In particular, his devotion to tacos and guacamole runs deep. Back when he and One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson shared a home, Harry was the resident chef, preparing Mexican fare for his pop star pal. Though his taco Tweets may have just been cheeky song promotion, there’s no denying Harry’s genuine amor for chips, salsa, and all things tortilla-wrapped.
Unlike Mr. Styles, model Gigi Hadid prefers to flaunt her own culinary skills. During quarantine, she shared her simple, creamy, and oh-so-tempting vodka pasta recipe on social media. Teeming with tomato, cream, garlic, and shallots, one bite of this savory pasta explains why it’s become Gigi’s go-to. Once she posted the easy how-to, the dish instantly went viral, with fans scrambling to recreate it. Proof that a supermodel’s cooking is just as captivating as her runway walk.
Finally, Blake Lively’s pregnancy cravings prove she has quite the appetite. For breakfast, the Gossip Girl star enjoys an egg-centric twist on a classic: eggs Benedict slathered in mayonnaise. With a tangy smear of mayo replacing hollandaise, this reimagined breakfast favorite satisfies Blake’s food fancy. Though mayo on eggs may sound off-putting to some, expectant mothers’ palates are their own. And for Blake, this egg-stra creamy combo perfectly appeases her pregnancy cravings.
Though fame grants them luxury, even celebrities find comfort in familiar flavors. From Selena’s pickles to Blake’s mayo eggs, stars stay grounded by keeping their down-home favorites on the menu. Because at the end of the day, they still have the same hunger we all do for a taste of home.
