Pop royalty Selena Gomez and her music producer husband Benny Blanco made a glamorous appearance as a couple at the 2026 Golden Globes ceremony on Sunday night. The pair, who married last year, were the picture of happiness as they walked the red carpet together for a high-profile date night.
A Vision of Old Hollywood Glamour
The 33-year-old singer and actress, a nominee herself for her role in Only Murders in the Building, captivated onlookers in a stunning Chanel creation. Her gown was a black, strapless velvet design, featuring an elaborate white feather trim at the neckline that perfectly channelled vintage Hollywood style.
Gomez complemented the dramatic dress with a sleek, side-parted hairstyle known as the 'Dolce Vita' bob. Her makeup featured a bold, matte-finish deep rouge lipstick that completed the sophisticated look. The Texas native has consistently used major red carpet events to showcase high-fashion moments, and this appearance was no exception.
For his part, 37-year-old Blanco opted for timeless elegance in a double-breasted black suit with satin lapels. He layered the jacket over a black shirt and accessorised with a brooch, a diamond watch, and a statement chain. His outfit was finished with a pair of sleek black loafers adorned with stones, ensuring his style matched the occasion's grandeur.
A Marriage Made in Hollywood
The loved-up display comes just months after the couple tied the knot in a Santa Barbara ceremony on September 27. In a November interview with Zane Lowe, Gomez described the first weeks of their marriage as "a dream". Her excitement was palpable even before the wedding when discussing plans on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, where she beamed, "It's wonderful. I'm very lucky. It's going well. I'm so excited."
The pair confirmed their relationship in December 2023, got engaged a year later, and Gomez famously announced their engagement on social media with the caption "Forever starts now" alongside a photo of her sparkling diamond ring.
