Selena Gomez Exudes Old Hollywood Elegance as She and Benny Blanco Make Their Red Carpet Debut as a Married Couple
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Stun the World with Their First Public Appearance as Newlyweds — The Academy Museum Gala Turns Into a Real-Life Love Story as the Glowing Bride Steals Every Heart on the Red Carpet! ❤️✨
Weeks after tying the knot, the actress and singer, 33, attended the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles with husband Benny Blanco on Saturday, Oct. 18.
For the event, which raises money for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Gomez exuded old Hollywood elegance in a glamorous black gown featuring sparkly embellishments. She paired the dress with a black suit jacket on top of her, a bold red lip and her hair in an updo.
Blanco, 27, meanwhile, looked dapper in a black jacket and pants, which he paired with a blue dress shirt that was left unbuttoned at the top
The Academy Museum Gala honors Penélope Cruz, Walter Salles, Bruce Springsteen and SNL‘s Bowen Yang. Last year’s event brought in $11 million, per Deadline.
The annual gathering took place a day after the Daytime Emmy Awards, where Gomez was nominated in the Outstanding Culinary Series for her work on Selena + Restaurant. (The award instead went to Delicious Miss Brown.)
Gomez is a three-time Daytime Emmy nominee, having been previously nominated for Selena + Chef (2020) and its holiday spin-off. When she spoke with PEOPLE in 2022, the former Disney star opened up about how her show has come so far.
