Select widgets can customize how to hide their labels with the `label_visibility` parameter. If "hidden", the label doesn’t show but there is still empty space for it above the widget (equivalent to `label=""`). If "collapsed", both the label and the space are removed. Default is "visible". Select widgets can also be disabled with the `disabled` parameter:

```python
import streamlit as st

# Store the initial value of widgets in session state
if "visibility" not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.visibility = "visible"
    st.session_state.disabled = False

col1, col2 = st.columns(2)

with col1:
    st.checkbox("Disable selectbox widget", key="disabled")
    st.radio(
        "Set selectbox label visibility 👉",
        key="visibility",
        options=["visible", "hidden", "collapsed"],
    )

with col2:
    option = st.selectbox(
        "How would you like to be contacted?",
        ("Email", "Home phone", "Mobile phone"),
        label_visibility=st.session_state.visibility,
        disabled=st.session_state.disabled,
    )
```
