Ladies who lunch: Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift keep it cute in pastels for girly catch-up in Malibu

Great friends Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift looked sweet in pastels as they went out for a girly lunch in sunny California today.

Selena kept it casual in tight-fitting khaki green trousers and grey suede studded boots, while Taylor went for a retro look in a sleeveless pink shirtdress for their rendezvous at Paradise Cove in Malibu.

The two young superstars laughed and joked as they headed out for a catch-up, 19-year-old Selena looking fresh-faced despite not leaving the Troubadour club until 4am on Tuesday after partying the night away with boyfriend Justin Bieber at Katy Perry's film premiere.

The actress was effortlessly stylish in a loose white T-shirt, as her singer companion wore signature vintage-style accessories including a brown plaited belt, low-heeled yellow sandals, a floral headband and sunglasses.

The girls seemed to be enjoying the time out from their busy schedules, even making time to stop and chat with fans and have their picture taken.

Selena seemed casual and relaxed following her Hollywood night out, the checking her phone as she and Taylor wandered through LA.

Perhaps Selena, 19, was after some career advice from 22-year-old country singer Taylor, who has enjoyed a stratospheric rise after series of country hits.

After concentrating on films over the past two years, Selena is hoping to make a bigger impression with her music.

So far, her biggest hit in the US has been a No 21 single with Who Says last year.

She wore glamorous Katy Perry-style kitsch to the premiere, in homage to the stylish singer, teaming an Emilio Pucci feathered dress with red heart-shaped sunglasses and Jimmy Choo sandals.

The Wizards Of Waverly Place actress shone beside Justin, whose pink jacket complemented her outfit as they arrived at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

She and Justin rarely make red carpet appearances together and even tried to sneak into the premiere of Part Of Me as a duo without being spotted.

While Selena was happy to pose on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere, her boyfriend wasn't so keen.
