Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Selena Gomez and her new husband Benny Blanco made their first public appearance as a married couple at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 18th. The newlyweds looked radiant on the red carpet, with Selena stunning in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé black velvet strapless gown featuring sparkling crystal embellishments, while Benny coordinated in a Giorgio Armani midnight blue double-breasted velvet suit. The couple couldn't stop smiling at each other, and fans online were in awe of their chemistry, with many commenting on how happy they looked together.
The appearance comes just weeks after their intimate wedding ceremony on September 27th at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California. The star-studded event hosted about 170 guests, with Taylor Swift giving an emotional speech at the reception where she reportedly joked that Selena beat her to the altar and called Benny the most perfect person for her friend. Other notable attendees included Ed Sheeran, Paris Hilton, SZA, and Selena's Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.
On the business front, Selena made waves at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington DC on Wednesday where she revealed how Taylor Swift's advice helped shape her approach to building Rare Beauty. According to Fortune, Swift told her, if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room. That wisdom helped Gomez surround herself with knowledgeable people as she built the brand, which is now valued at an estimated 2.7 billion dollars as of mid-2025, making her one of the world's youngest self-made billionaires.
Selena also opened up about facing skepticism when she first launched the beauty brand in 2020, with people telling her to stay in her lane. Gomez said she's determined to make a difference and will keep pushing forward despite early doubts. She's scheduled to appear on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Tuesday, October 21st for her first visit to discuss her projects alongside Wizards Beyond Waverly Place co-stars David Henrie and Janice LeAnn Brown.
