Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made their first official appearance as a couple at the Academy Museum Gala. The event was held in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 18, 2025, and the couple walked the red carpet for the first time as husband and wife.

Selena Gomez wore a Hollywood retro-style black gown featuring a low-cut neckline, sparkly embellishments at the neck area, and a figure-hugging silhouette. She wore a black blazer over the dress and styled her hair in an updo. For accessories, Selena Gomez wore bold dangling earrings and, of course, her engagement and wedding rings.

Benny Blanco stepped out in a matching black jacket and pants. He wore a blue striped inner shirt, which he left half unbuttoned. He completed the outfit with black dress shoes and wore a stack of necklaces.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s appearance at the Academy Museum Gala comes weeks after the couple tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony in California and days after they enjoyed a relaxing honeymoon.


More details on Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship was confirmed in 2023 when she told her fans on Instagram that the music producer was her absolute everything when it comes to matters of love.

“He is my absolute everything in my heart. I don’t understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don’t, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in [my] life at all.”

Following that confirmation, the couple immediately went Instagram official and went on several dates together while gathering numerous PDA moments.

On December 11, 2024, the couple announced they were engaged.

“forever begins now..,” Selena wrote on Instagram.

Soon after their engagement, Selena and Benny released their joint musical project.

“He listened to me. Most of my anxiety right now is wanting him to speak because I feel like he’s more talented than I am in this field," she said. "This album definitely feels just as much mine as I’m sure it does his."

Benny added:

“Every time she’s singing, I feel it so deep. The thing that Selena does that not a lot of artists do is she’s never afraid to tell the truth.”

Months after they dropped their first joint album, Selena and Benny married on September 27, 2025, surrounded by family and loved ones.
