As they walked the red carpet at the fifth annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 18, newlyweds Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were a vision of love and harmony. The couple, who tied the knot late last month, coordinated their ensembles to perfection—with Selena donning a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown adorned with crystal embellishments along the neckline, completing her look with silver crystal dangly earrings, a black blazer draped over her shoulders, a bold red lip, and a sleek updo. Benny, on the other hand, looked dashing in a black velvet suit with a blue button-up silk dress shirt and black loafers, adding his own personal flair to the look with a stack of gold chains around his neck.
Their first public appearance as a married couple was nothing short of magical, but their love story has been a delightful sight to behold even before that. In the weeks following their wedding, Selena and Benny have shared glimpses of their newlywed bliss on social media.
Selena recently shared a sweet gift basket her husband put together for her after she returned to their Los Angeles home while he was out of town. "I know I'm being dramatic, but a day without you feels like an eternity," Benny wrote in a note Selena shared to Instagram Story October 16. "I wanted it to feel like home when you returned. I love you." The basket included some of Selena's favorite snacks, including pickles, chips and queso, and Flaming Hot Cheetos.
Meanwhile, the Only Murders in the Building actress has also shared plenty of behind-the-scenes peeks into the couple's September 27 nuptials. Selena has shown several photos of her Ralph Lauren gowns, the moment she penned her vows to the 37-year-old, and even prepping for the ceremony with pal Taylor Swift, who gave a speech at the ceremony. "Blessed to have you by my side almost 20 years later gator," Selena gushed alongside photos of herself and the "Fate of Ophelia" singer. "I love you forever and always."
Taylor couldn't help but effuse over the occasion either. "I got to see her be the most elegant, gorgeous—not only bride but just—vision that I've ever seen in my life," Taylor admitted during an October 6 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. "I've never seen anything so beautiful as her on her wedding day."
