![Selena Gomez is helping fans cook up a storm by launching a colorful kitchenware collection aimed at bringing families together through home-cooked meals. The singer and actress has teamed up with trendy cookware brand Our Place on a collection products, including a bold new look for the brand’s signature “Always Pan” and “Perfect Pot”. The Our Place x Selena Gomez collection also includes a knife trio, drinking glasses, main plates and side plates in two new limited edition colors - a bright electric blue called Azul and a deep, vibrant berry pink called Rosa. Selena and Our Place co-founder Shiza Shahid say they bonded over a shared belief that people can come together and connect with their heritage through home-cooked meals. Selena said: “This collection is a celebration of all the ways that we slow down and enjoy time in the kitchen: for those that cook perfectly or imperfectly, messily and joyously. “I hope people are inspired to stay in and connect with their family and friends over a meal. “For me, time in the kitchen and cooking have always been some of the most memorable, bonding moments.” Selena has put her cooking skills on display in her HBO Max cooking show “Selena + Chef” and says doing the show has taught her a lot. Our Place will donate 10% of net proceeds from the collaboration to the Rare Impact Fund, launched by Selena’s Rare Beauty cosmetics brand in 2020. The Rare Impact fund aims to support organizations working to increase access to mental health services in schools, and has set a target to raise $100 million over the next 10 years. *BYLINE: Our Place/Mega. 13 May 2022 Pictured: Selena Gomez launches new kitchenware collection with Our Place. *BYLINE: Our Place/Mega.
