In a new behind-the-scenes short film for her Flaunt magazine photoshoot, Selena Gomez gets sexy in a number of different ensembles, including lacy lingerie and a matching skirt, rolling around in bed with a very handsome actor, E! News reports.

Gomez's new three-minute black-and-white film, "Searching," features the former Disney star sporting smoky eye make-up and an edgy black bob with bangs, a strikingly different look from her normally long locks. Shot and directed by Victoria Mahoney and filmed in one day, the dark film follows Gomez wandering the streets of Los Angeles and lounging around in bed at the iconic Rosslyn Hotel, getting very flirty with the handsome actor, Shiloh Fernandez.

"Searching" comes in the wake of Gomez's transition into more adult roles and performances, including last year's racy Harmony Korine film "Sping Breakers" in which she and her castmates received critical praise for their daring work, "Fifty Shades of Grey" parody short "Fifty Shades of Blue," and this year's action-crime flick "Getaway."

The "Come & Get It" singer also got much more personal on her latest album, "Stars Dance," introducing more sultry hooks, sexier lyrics and even details of the heartbreak she endured after splitting with ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber.

The suggestive lyrics in her single "Come & Get It" even drew criticism from her contemporary, 16-year-old New Zealand singer Lorde, who critiqued the song for allegedly portraying women in an anti-feminist, subservient, ready-to-please way with the line: "When you're ready come and get it."

Gomez, however, stood by her song, which she has previously described to her fans as empowering, and said in an interview with Hot 99.5 that while she likes and respects Lorde as an artist, in her opinion, "it's not feminism if you're tearing down another artist."

Despite their feud, Gomez told Flaunt that she covered Lorde's hit song "Royals" in a recent show as part of her "Stars Dance Tour," but admitted she's "not sure if [she's] going to continue that."
