"Selena Gomez knows how to roll with the punches -- and the protesters! In NYC on Wednesday evening (Feb. 6), the 20-year-old singer and actress was in the front row at the first-ever fashion show for NEO by Adidas, for whom she serves as brand ambassador.\r\n\r\nBopping along in her seat during Neo&amp;apos;s presentation of youthful seasonal swim and beach styles, Gomez was thrown for a major loop in the middle of the event -- when an uninvited young woman in a T-shirt and hoodie handed Gomez and other guests a flyer, with a companion nearby also distributing the material. Claiming that Adidas is involved in &amp;quot;sweatshop&amp;quot; labor practices overseas, the flyer read: &amp;quot;Selena Gomez: Be an ambassador for children, not for sweatshops.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAccording to an observer, Gomez -- reportedly spotted with ex Justin Bieber over the weekend -- was shocked by the protester, who was quickly escorted off the premises by security. But the &amp;quot;Love You Like a Love Song&amp;quot; singer quickly recovered and acknowledged the young designers at the end of the show.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Thank you so much for coming out,&amp;quot; said the star, clad in black pants, black Adidas sneakers with pink stripes, and a grey and pink sweatshirt. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m so excited to be a part of this and so excited to see what you guys did with it, you did an amazing job!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
