Selena Gomez may have walked away without a Golden Globe on Sunday night, but she didn’t leave without a moment of romance. The pop sensation and actress received a heartfelt kiss from her fiancé, Benny Blanco, as a show of support after losing the Best Supporting Actress award to her co-star Zoe Saldaña from Emilia Pérez.
Making their first public appearance since their engagement last December, Gomez and Blanco showcased their love with subtle yet sweet moments of affection throughout the evening. While Selena didn’t walk the red carpet with Benny, the couple’s bond was evident during the ceremony.
A Night of Glamour and Laughter
Selena, 32, stunned the audience in a chic Prada off-the-shoulder blue gown paired with a scarf for a vintage-inspired touch. Complementing the look, she wore a dazzling diamond necklace and stud earrings from Tiffany & Co., effortlessly exuding timeless elegance.
The night was also filled with humor. During the opening monologue, host Nikki Glaser couldn’t resist cracking a joke about Selena and Benny’s relationship. “A double nominee tonight for Emilia Pérez and Only Murders in the Building, and she’s here with her new fiancé, Benny Blanco,” Glaser quipped. “Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish.”
The audience erupted in laughter, setting a lighthearted tone for the evening.
