Selena Gomez is a modern beauty muse. Each public appearance feels intentional; less about spectacle and more about storytelling, revealing herself through clever fashion and makeup choices. At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, Gomez once again proved her ability to reinterpret classic glamour through a contemporary lens, becoming one of the best-dressed guests of the evening.
Gomez was nominated for her work on the beloved series "Only Murders in the Building," a series that has earned her critical acclaim over the years and has served as a reinvention of her acting career. She arrived on the red carpet hand in hand with her husband, Benny Blanco.
The pair wore coordinated looks, with both outfits being rich in texture and mood, highlighting their shared aesthetic and the effortless chemistry that has made them one of the most talked-about couples in the world.
Selena Gomez goes for soft goth glamour
For the Golden Globes, one of the biggest fashion moments during awards season, Gomez bet on a "soft goth" beauty look. The trend blends dark, moody elements with polished elegance, resulting in luminous skin paired with deep burgundy lips. Gomez's look was dramatic yet sophisticated, a modern take on gothic glamour that felt both bold and controlled.
The look subtly echoed Mabel, the introspective and enigmatic character Gomez plays on the series, known for her dry delivery and humor that hides her heart.
Soft goth is going through a high moment right now, with stars like Jenna Ortega and Christina Ricci being some of its major proponents. Gomez successfully threw her name in the ring, merging the aesthetic with Old Hollywood glamour, a style that Gomez has frequently used in past red carpet appearances.
A defining moment for the couple
2025 was a great year for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. From their visible relationship moments to their intimate, private, and personality-filled wedding last September, the couple is one of the reference points for authentic and modern celebrity romances.
At the Golden Globes, their fashion choices struck the perfect balance between individuality and cohesion. Gomez wore a custom Chanel gown by Matthieu Blazy, crafted over 323 hours. The ivory, off-the-shoulder silhouette featured delicate textural details, signaling a new chapter for the house under Blazy’s creative direction. Blanco complemented her look in a black, velvet-finish monochromatic suit, resulting in an understated, elegant, and subtly dramatic suit.
Gomez and Blanco show that true coordination extends beyond matching outfits and fabrics. By aligning mood and intention, they became one of the most memorable highlights of the red carpet.
