Selena Gomez arrived at the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11 in a head-turning Chanel ensemble that fused classic Hollywood glamour with modern edge. The Beverly Hilton carpet moment marked her second consecutive nomination for Only Murders in the Building and her first awards appearance as a married woman.
A Dramatic Style Shift
The gown’s floor-length black skirt anchored the look, while an off-the-shoulder white feathered neckline framed Gomez’s face and shoulders. She skipped necklaces and bracelets, letting the dress remain the focal point, and finished the styling with Old-Hollywood waves in her short bob and a deep red lip.
The aesthetic departs sharply from her 2025 choice: a powder blue off-shoulder gown she likened to “Cinderella meets Jackie Kennedy Onassis.” That princess moment gave way to this year’s sleek, monochrome contrast.
Partner Upgrade
Benny Blanco returned to the carpet beside her, now as husband rather than fiancé. He complemented her palette in a black suit and embroidered loafers, matching the evening’s formal tone without competing for attention.
Nomination Momentum
Gomez earned the Globe nod for her work in the Hulu comedy’s fifth season. Co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short also secured nominations, keeping the trio in contention together.
In a statement released before the ceremony, Gomez said, “Thank you Golden Globes for our recognition after five seasons. I’m deeply grateful and forever honored.”
Recent Recognition
Last year she scored double nominations: one for Only Murders and another for her performance in Emilia Pérez. She called the twin acknowledgments “unbelievable” and told Daniel J. Whitman that acting is where her “heart deeply, deeply lies.”
Of the film role she added, “I think that this was a wonderful stepping stone into hopefully showing people how much I care. And I’m willing to go there as a performer and it’s so liberating-so I hope there’s just more projects to come.”
Off-Screen Focus
Away from cameras, Gomez channels energy into the Rare Impact Fund, which has raised nearly $25 million to supply mental-health services for underserved communities. In an October Instagram post the Rare Beauty founder wrote, “What began five years ago as a dream to make mental health resources more accessible for young people has grown into a global community of organizations, leaders and supporters changing lives every single day.”
