Selena Gomez Hosts Chic Rare Beauty Galentine's Gathering in Los Angeles
Selena Gomez showcased effortless style while hosting a special Galentine's event for her cosmetics brand Rare Beauty in Los Angeles on Thursday. The 33-year-old actress and singer mingled with guests at Max and Helen's diner in the Larchmont Village neighborhood, creating a festive atmosphere ahead of Valentine's Day weekend.
Fashion and Beauty Details from the Evening
Gomez dressed for the occasion in sophisticated black pajama bottoms featuring a feathery hem, paired with a matching top. She completed the look with closed-toed black pumps and a purse slung over her left shoulder. Her shorter hair was styled in a half-up do, accented with a miniature pink bow for a playful touch.
The actress accessorized with dangling silver earrings and wore glamorous makeup that included mascara-enhanced lashes, light eyeshadow, warm blush to accentuate her cheekbones, and a nude lip tint. Gomez later shared a closer look at her outfit on Instagram Stories, posting a photo of herself in the stylish pajamas while holding a pink Valentino purse with the caption 'Galentines w @rarebeauty ladies.'
Rare Beauty Event Atmosphere and Decor
The Rare Beauty Instagram account revealed the beautifully decorated interior of the Los Angeles diner where the gathering took place. The space featured:
- A large pink bow adorning the restaurant's front door
- Pastel pink balloons filling the room
- Bouquets of fresh flowers arranged on tables and the diner bar top
- A pink receipt pad inscribed with 'Always together XO Rare Beauty'
Guests enjoyed indulgent treats including sundaes topped with whipped cream, cinnamon rolls, and pancakes. Gomez made a speech to attendees before departing for her next destination.
Business Success and Personal Life Updates
The Wolves songstress launched Rare Beauty in 2020, and the cosmetics company is now estimated to be worth approximately $2.7 billion as of 2025 according to Fortune. Alongside her business ventures, Gomez is preparing to celebrate her first Valentine's Day as a married woman with husband Benny Blanco.
The couple tied the knot in September last year during a romantic ceremony in Santa Barbara attended by numerous celebrity guests including Taylor Swift. They will mark their five-month wedding anniversary on February 27th.
Reflections on Marriage and Romance
In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Gomez opened up about married life with Blanco, describing it as 'a dream so far' while acknowledging that relationships naturally experience ebbs and flows. She told Allure magazine that she appreciates 'his heart, his kindness, his quirks' and described Blanco as one of the most grounding people in her life.
Gomez reflected on the timing of their romance, noting that she wouldn't have been mature enough for such a relationship five years earlier. 'I don't think I would have been remotely mature enough,' she explained, adding that the lessons she learned in recent years prepared her to be the best partner possible for Blanco.
When Blanco has asked why they wasted so much time before getting together, Gomez responds with characteristic honesty: 'You wouldn't have liked me back then. I was all over the place.'
Valentine's Traditions and Future Plans
Last year, Blanco created a unique Valentine's Day surprise for Gomez that he shared on social media. Instead of traditional rose petals, he used tortilla chips to spell out 'I [heart] You' on the ground, leading to a bathtub filled with nacho cheese.
As she approaches five months of marriage, Gomez revealed to People magazine that she still feels 'flirty' and described her personal beauty vibe as 'classic, maybe a little sexy.' She added, 'I still feel young, I think. I like a little flirty, classic look.'
The actress has maintained a busy schedule, recently attending Brooks Nader's birthday party in West Hollywood where she turned heads in sleek black trousers and a belted black leather jacket. Gomez continues to balance her successful business ventures with her personal life, creating a harmonious blend of professional achievement and romantic fulfillment.
