EXTENDED THROUGH MAY 11, 2026: GRAMMY MUSEUM®PRESENTS SELENA: FROM TEXAS TO THE WORLD
NEW TO THIS SPECIAL POP-UP EXHIBIT IS SELENA’S ICONIC PURPLE JUMPSUIT WORN DURING HER PERFORMANCE AT THE HOUSTON ASTRODOME
LOS ANGELES (MARCH 4, 2026) — Due to popular demand, the Grammy Museum®‘s special pop-up exhibit, Selena: From Texas To The World, has been extended through May 11, 2026. The exhibit, which opened on Jan. 15, 2026, has become one of the most popular exhibits in the museum’s 18-year history, attracting both returning guests and new visitors from Los Angeles, a city that has long embraced Selena, as well as from throughout California and beyond.
The exhibit features Selena’s personal artifacts for the first time outside of the Selena Museum in Corpus Christi, Texas. Beginning March 18, 2026, Selena’s iconic purple jumpsuit will be added to the exhibit. This will replace Selena’s stunning white gown she wore to the 1994 Grammy Awards®, which will remain on display through March 15, 2026.
Selena wore the purple jumpsuit while performing at the Houston Astrodome on Feb. 26, 1995, a concert that drew more than 66,000 attendees, surpassing her previous attendance record from the year before. Known for designing many of her own stage costumes, Selena created the now-iconic purple bell-bottomed jumpsuit and matching jacket, which became one of her most recognizable looks. The ensemble was later depicted in the 1997 film Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez.
Selena: From Texas To The World celebrates the enduring legacy of Selena, an icon whose impact on music, fashion and culture continues to inspire generations around the world. Curated in collaboration with Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister, CEO/President of Q Productions and Executor of The Selena Estate, the exhibit offers an intimate glimpse into Selena’s life, artistry and groundbreaking career.
Suzette says, “We are deeply moved by the outpouring of love from Selena fans who have visited this special exhibit at the iconic Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Its extension is a powerful testament to her enduring spirit, carried forward by fans across generations.”
Kelsey Goelz, Grammy Museum Curator, added, “It has been an honor to witness the extraordinary response to this exhibit at the Grammy Museum. Selena’s artistry and cultural impact continue to resonate deeply, and we are proud to extend this experience for the many fans who keep her spirit alive.”
Beyond her chart-topping success, Selena was a fashion pioneer whose signature style, from shimmering bustiers and iconic stage outfits to bold red lipstick, continues to influence pop culture and street fashion today. Her charisma, determination and pride in her Mexican- American heritage made her a symbol of empowerment for young women and Latin communities across the world.
Selena’s fourth studio album, Amor Prohibido, released on March 22,1994, by EMI Latin and nominated for a Grammy® Award for Best Mexican-American Album, will be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame® at this year’s Grammy Museum and Recording Academy® Grammy Hall of Fame Gala on May 8, 2026.
