There is no doubt in anyone mind that Selena Quintanilla has left a lasting legacy that has touched millions of people. While Halloween is the time where celebrities don various costume, Selena continues to rise in popularity.

Actress Keke Palmer has often covered many songs, some being of the late Queen of Tejano music and now she is paying homage to the star in a major way. While the actress is notorious for dressing up as other celebs for Halloween such as the late Aaliyah, she has honored Selena in the same way.

In a lengthy Instagram post, the starlet explained how much the late singer influenced her and her career.

""I remember when I first watched "Selena" I cried so hard that I hugged the tv. I fell in love with her music, style and her ability to be such a beacon of hope to her community. She used her voice to paint her culture all over the world, telling their stories that hadn't been told and in being so true she touched many others and inspired so many to be proud of who they were! I AM THE PROOF," she wrote. "She has always been the kind of entertainer I wanted to be because she stood for something. She wasn't trying to fit in any lane but her own and that's why she remains. And when the lights were off she was in TX in a humble home with bae, #balance. Rest In Peace Selena, we miss you so much girl. So Much."

The Scream Queens star absolutely nailed this timeless Selena look, rocking a black bustier, black tights, black boots and the notorious black embezzled cap.

Another star who paid homage to the late star was the adorable Royalty Brown. Chris Brown's pint-sized daughter rocked a classic Selena look and according to E News, she is a huge fan of the Mexican singer.
