DId the scene in the mall really happen?


Did the scene in the mall where the lady at the store said she wouldn't be interested in trying on that dress because it was $800 really happen? Its like what happened to Julia Roberts in "Pretty Women."

It was most likely fictionalized for the movie!

That entire part of the movie didn't make any sense. For one, why would she need to go shopping for dresses when she was a fashion designer? Second, the Grammy Awards that year were held in New York City. So I can't understand why they made up the whole thing to begin with. Why pretend they went to Hollywood?!

Of course it really happened. This is a movie based on Selena's real life. Its not a piece of fiction

I saw a sales associate scold a lady in Nordstrom for having a baby carriage near the designer racks!
