Selena Gomez took to social media to share an intimate Instagram photo dump featuring husband Benny Blanco shirtless, posing behind her. She also gave a glimpse of her new soft, wavy pigtails.

Gomez is known for her sleek, chin-grazing bob, but now she is stepping into longer, textured pigtails, leaning into romantic, '90s-inspired energy with a modern finish. In the standout shot, Gomez poses in a dressing room wearing light-wash overalls layered over a white, patterned tee.

Her hair is parted and styled into low pigtails, each one falling forward over her shoulders. Instead of tight braids or straight strands, the pigtails are full of soft, voluminous waves extending several inches beyond her usual length.

She also had a few face-framing pieces to soften the look even further, grazing just below her jawline and blending seamlessly into the waves. 

Benny Blanco jumped into the comments to leave an adorable reaction to the snap. “hey wait … why r u so cute?” he asked. 

Effortless Spring Style

Elsewhere in the carousel, Gomez embraced a different aesthetic that still tied into the same romantic theme. In one image, she wore a flowing, floral maxi dress, with her hair styled in a loose, slightly undone bun.

She also gave fans a glimpse of a longer, flowing hairstyle in a photo alongside her “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place” co-star David Henrie.

In one behind-the-scenes shot, she’s mid-sheet mask, capturing that in-between stage of a beauty routine. In another, she’s wrapped in a white bathrobe, sticking her tongue out at the camera with a full face of makeup.

At the end of the carousel, Gomez shares a makeup-free selfie, letting her natural skin take focus. Freckles show through, her complexion looks fresh, and there’s no heavy styling.

Right now, Selena Gomez is leaning into a softer, more romantic beauty phase.

Last month, the actress, singer, and beauty mogul shared another candid Instagram photo dump that gave a closer look at her everyday life with her husband. In the caption, Selena Gomez referred to herself as “Mrs. Blanco,” a meaningful nod to her married identity.

Earlier this year, Gomez celebrated Blanco’s 38th birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute: “Happy birthday my love. I love you with all my heart.”
