Selena Gomez often appears in the public eye, but her recent presence at an awards event has stirred up talk online. She dressed in a fancy white dress, yet opinions vary. Some admired her beauty, while others felt she appeared older than expected and said that the dress didn’t really fit her.
She looked stunning in white.
Selena Gomez ditched her usual sleek bun for a glamorous hairstyle that made her look like an Italian movie star. She wore a custom-made white Versace dress that sparkled with sequins and hugged her curves. Her hair was shiny and dark, with a deep side part and a bit of volume at the top. She let her long hair flow down her back, with some shorter pieces framing her face.
She coordinated her outfit with a subtle nude lip, enhancing her inherent beauty. Her eyes were adorned with dramatic smoky makeup, accentuated by long lashes and a touch of shimmer. Completing her look were vibrant red nails, adding a dash of color. Selena showed that elegance can be achieved not only with a neat bun but also with a relaxed and lavish hairstyle.
Opinions on her dress varied.

Yet, not all were enamored with her attire. Online critics expressed their disapproval of her dress and overall appearance, deeming it either aging or not the right size for her. One person online commented, ’’Selena, that dress is 4 sizes too small. You ain’t got the body to pull it off, better just embrace it and wear proper sizes.’’
A commentator noted, ’’Selena may have meds for lupus, and while she’s certainly a stunning woman and looks lovely filler figured, but she clearly needs to exercise and lift weights. She has absolutely no muscle tone in her legs and arms and that will be detrimental to her health as she ages […]’’
Selena Gomez announces engagement to Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez has revealed she is engaged to songwriter Benny Blanco.
The actress and singer posted a picture of a large engagement ring on Instagram, with the caption “forever begins now”.
It comes after the couple confirmed their relationship last year.
Pop star Taylor Swift was among the famous figures to offer congratulations.
Two-time Grammy-nominated Gomez posted further pictures of her beaming, wearing the ring, and one of Blanco embracing her in what appears to be a closet.
“Hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented on the post.
Swift replied: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Rapper Cardi B, actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Suki Waterhouse, and singer Lil Nas X also sent well wishes.
In an Instagram Story shared with her 423 million followers, the most-followed woman on the app also revealed a video showing her ring to loved ones on the phone.
“Yes to this,” she can be heard saying, evoking screams on the other end of the video call.
Gomez and record producer Blanco had collaborated on songs I Can’t Get Enough in 2019 and Single Soon in 2023, before announcing their relationship.
Blanco, who has also worked with the likes of Rihanna, Calvin Harris and Justin Bieber, was effusive about his love on the Drew Barrymore Show back in May.
“She’s just like the best, most genuine person,” he said on the chat show.
“Everything is completely real. Everyday when I wake up, I, like, walk by the mirror as I’m, like, walking to her and I ask myself, ‘How did I get here’…
“She’s one of the sweetest, one of the most charming, one of the most humble people I’ve ever met.”
Come & Get It singer Gomez was previously in a high profile on-and-off relationship with fellow singer Justin Bieber. She also dated singer The Weeknd in 2017.
The Texas-born star rose to fame as a child actress on Barney and Disney Channel, before forging a career as a singer and in acting.
This year she joined the billionaire celebrity rich list, according to Bloomberg, amassing a $1.3bn (£1bn) fortune – mainly deriving from her Rare Beauty make-up company.
On Monday, she received two Golden Globe nominations – one in the best supporting actress category for her role in operatic musical Emilia Pérez and the other for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy, for her recurring role in Only Murders in the Building.

The speculation comes amid reports Justin hopes Selena is “happy” following her engagement to Benny. While he hasn’t congratulated her publicly, a source told the Daily Mail, “Justin is married and has a kid. We all know that, but when he heard that Selena was engaged, he’ll even admit it stung for a brief second. Because even though they will never be friends or date again or anything like that, it is officially the end of an era.”
