Selena Gomez Ties the Knot with Benny Blanco
So, yes, the new Mrs. Slanco was decked out in white.
Selena Gomez officially wed Benny Blanco—whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin—this past weekend in a romantic back halter gown designed by Ralph Lauren. The dress featured luxurious fabrics and a full-length skirt, perfectly suited for the occasion.
After exchanging vows on Saturday, Gomez and the music producer held hands, showcasing her elegant gown that boasted delicate lace details around the neck. She styled her hair in glamorous Hollywood curls, complemented by tasteful diamond earrings, and carried a simple bouquet of white flowers.
Blanco opted for a classic tuxedo, complete with a retro twist, wearing a button-down shirt and a bowtie, also from Ralph Lauren.
The wedding took place at Santa Barbara Seacrest Nursery, offering breathtaking views above the Santa Barbara Channel. Interestingly, guests were kept in the dark about the location until they arrived in Santa Barbara.
The event drew numerous Hollywood friends, including Gomez’s co-stars from “Only Murders in the Building,” such as Paul Rudd, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. They exchanged vows in front of 170 friends and took extra precautions for security, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable celebration.
Invitations were beautifully embossed, inviting guests to join “with family” for the special occasion. The invites featured monograms of “S” and “B” along with twigs of what seemed like dried baby’s breath, representing love and commitment.
The festivities kicked off on Friday night with a rehearsal dinner at the Hourrain mansion in Goleta Valley, California, where several attendees were spotted in suits.
Amidst the excitement, Gomez’s close friend, Taylor Swift, was seen arriving at Santa Barbara Airport under a cluster of black umbrellas, reportedly staying at a private rental for security reasons.
Over the course of her engagement, Gomez selectively shared moments from various celebrations, including snippets from her bachelorette party in Cabo, displaying a series of stunning bridal white looks from brands like Cult Gaia and Retrofete.
In another low-key event, there was a single party in Las Vegas that remained under wraps for a while. Recently, Gomez has been spotted glowing in vibrant red outfits, including stylish holterneck gowns at the Emmys.
Earlier in the week, she was seen promoting season five of “Only Murders in the Building” while wearing a striking scarlet shift dress by Jaque Mass.
The couple appeared more in love during the Emmy’s red carpet, posing together for the cameras. After the awards ceremony, Gomez transitioned into a second Louis Vuitton dress for the evening festivities.
Meanwhile, Blanco organized an intimate afterparty, celebrating with Gomez and fellow “Only Murders” cast members. After nearly two years of dating under the public eye, it’s evident this couple truly cherishes their relationship, making their union something really worth celebrating.
