When Selena Gomez tied the knot, she made sure every single detail sparkled. Her wedding day look was truly a sight to behold.
The 33-year-old star recently married Benny Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin. The happy couple said "I do" on Saturday, September 27. Selena wowed everyone with an amazing collection of diamond jewelry. It made her entire bridal outfit shine.
She wore beautiful 12-carat diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co. These added a classic Hollywood glow to her satin Ralph Lauren gown, which had a halter neckline. Later, Gomez changed into a second stunning outfit. This look featured a delicate lace design and a flowing, dreamy veil.
Benny Blanco looked dapper in his own Ralph Lauren tuxedo. He wore his traditional gold wedding band. He also added a dazzling watch and a diamond tennis bracelet for extra flair.
Selena showcased not one, but three gorgeous rings on her fingers. She wore a thin diamond band, a pavé eternity ring, and her brand-new wedding band. This new band perfectly matched her marquise-cut engagement ring. According to Ann Grimmett, a jewelry expert and Vice President of Merchandising at Jared Jewelers, the main diamond in her engagement ring is around six carats. It’s estimated to be worth about $225,000. Grimmett shared with Us Weekly that marquise-cut diamonds are quite rare. Less than five percent of all diamonds have this unique shape.
It seems Selena’s jewelry choices gave a clever nod to her 2015 hit song, "Good for You." In that track, she sang with rapper ASAP Rocky, "I’m in my marquise diamonds. I’m a marquise diamond. I could even make that Tiffany jealous." Looks like she kept her promise to her own lyrics!
The Bridal Hair Look
Before becoming Mrs. Levin, the Only Murders in the Building actress trusted hairstylist Renato Campora with her special day hair. Campora, who works with Joico products, aimed for perfection.
He told Us Weekly in a press release after the wedding, "When getting Selena Gomez’s hair ready for a celebration of joy, unity, and love, every detail had to be flawless." He started by washing her hair twice with Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo. Then, he applied a 30-minute treatment using Joico Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque.
To create those picture-perfect curls, Campora used a three-quarter-inch curling iron. He made a Marcel wave pattern and then pinned each curl in place. This allowed them to cool down and hold their shape. "After all the curls cooled for 20 minutes, I took out the pins," Campora explained. "I then gently brushed each section to blend the waves." He focused on the pieces framing her face and used a finishing spray to keep everything in place.
"The final result was a flawless, timeless, and healthy-looking Marcel wave bob with Hollywood glam," the hair guru proudly shared. "It was perfect for a day celebrating love, beauty, and perfection."
The Guest List
Close family and friends, including Selena’s longtime best friend Taylor Swift, were there for the ceremony. A source confirmed this to Us Weekly. Swift, who is 35, also attended the couple’s rehearsal dinner on Friday, September 26. This was just weeks after she announced her own engagement to Travis Kelce.
Interestingly, Taylor Swift chose Ralph Lauren for her engagement photos. She wore a striped silk-blend dress from the brand. This dress quickly sold out after her engagement news on August 26. For those photos, Swift also sported a Cartier Santos Demoiselle watch, valued at about $18,330. She completed the look with Louis Vuitton Isola Sandals, which cost $930.
