Selena Gomez promised a main character wedding and delivered in style. Over the weekend, she tied the knot with longtime love Benny Blanco, and if you thought it was going to be intimate and low-key, think again.
This was the A-list affair — packed with celebrity besties, designer looks, and the pièce de résistance: Taylor Swift stealing hearts with an emotional tribute.
According to E! News, the wedding was held in Los Angeles and drew a guest list that dressed like they were attending the Grammys. But let’s start with the moment everyone’s been waiting for: the dress.
That Dress…
Selena wore an off-the-shoulder white gown that was equal parts timeless and modern. Think romantic lace, elegant silhouette, and just enough drama to remind us this is Selena Gomez we’re talking about. E! News reports that she opted for a custom creation that leaned into old-Hollywood glam, paired with a cathedral-length veil that had everyone gasping.
And yes, the photos? Check out Benny’s take:
Mz Taylor Swift…
Taylor Swift was not just another guest—she was basically the second lead in this rom-com. According to Yahoo! Entertainment, Taylor gave an emotional speech about her decade-plus friendship with Selena. Tay-Tay said watching Selena fall in love with Benny gave her hope for her own love story.
Celeb Guest List Flex
Selena’s wedding was a Hollywood Who’s Who. People spotted Nicola Peltz Beckham, Raquelle Stevens, and Francia Raísa — yes, the friendship is officially back on. People confirmed that all her ride-or-die girlfriends were present. It felt like an Only Murders in the Building episode — except with real tears instead of fake blood.
Benny’s people showed up for him. Music industry insiders, producers, and collaborators filled out the guest list. So this wedding wasn’t merely Selena’s fairytale, but a true blending of their worlds.
From Tea to… “I Do”
The road to the altar wasn’t a straight line. Selena and Benny first went public in December 2023 after months of speculation. Fans weren’t sure what to make of it at first, but the couple proved everyone wrong with their low-key vibe and genuine affection. Over the next two years, they were spotted at red carpets, vacations, and cozy kitchen selfies that screamed domestic bliss.
By the time the wedding rolled around, it was inevitable. As Elle pointed out in the lead-up, Selena always wanted her wedding to be about love and authenticity, not spectacle. And that’s exactly what she manifested.
Despite the glittering crowd, the vibe was pure Selena: heartfelt, warm, and focused on connection. Sources told Elle that the décor was elegant but understated—candlelit tables, lush florals, and an atmosphere that felt like an intimate concert rather than a Hollywood blowout.
Guests described the day as emotional but fun, with Benny tearing up multiple times (same, Benny).
Fans Didn’t See This Coming
Fans were caught off guard by how quickly the wedding happened. So, the official celebration was a bit of a surprise. All of TikTok is basically a Selena wedding archive, with fans analyzing each and every second. Comments range from, “Selena finally got her fairytale” to “Benny better treat her like the queen she is.”
Swifties joined in too, dissecting Taylor’s speech like it was a bonus track. Did she reference You Belong With Me? Was the word “endgame” intentional? We may never know, but the theories are spiraling.
Selena’s always been open about her struggles — health scares, heartbreaks, and learning to navigate fame on her own terms. Seeing her walk down the aisle to meet someone who’s been by her side through it all wasn’t so beautiful.
