Selena Gomez Serves Red-Hot Romance in Cult Gaia While Teasing Wedding Details
Selena Gomez is proving that when you find a silhouette that works, you work it—twice. The multi-hyphenate mogul and Rare Beauty founder turned heads during her New York City press tour stop Tuesday, stepping out in a show-stopping merlot Cult Gaia creation that had us doing a double-take for all the right reasons.
The $758 long-sleeved minidress—a masterclass in modern romance—featured the label’s signature off-the-shoulder construction with an asymmetrical neckline that left one shoulder tantalizingly bare. But what truly elevated this piece from beautiful to breathtaking were the three-dimensional floral embellishments that seemed to bloom across her frame like a garden in full flourish, with delicate beaded blooms cascading from the hem as if suspended from invisible vines.
This crimson moment marks the second time Gomez has turned to this particular silhouette, having previously worn the identical style in pristine white during her bachelorette festivities in Cabo this past August—a sartorial callback that speaks to her evolving personal style narrative and perhaps hints at her current romantic headspace.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star, currently promoting the Hulu series’ fifth season alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short, has been serving a masterclass in press tour dressing. While the show itself pays homage to classic crime aesthetics—think Hitchcockian elegance meets Miss Marple mystique—Gomez’s off-screen styling choices have been decidedly contemporary and unapologetically glamorous.
For Tuesday’s appearance, she committed fully to the monochromatic moment, selecting coordinating satin strappy heels that elongated her silhouette while maintaining the dress’s romantic tension. A swipe of matching red lipstick provided the perfect punctuation mark, while cascading diamond earrings added just enough sparkle without competing with the dress’s intricate beadwork. Her hair, swept into a sleek high bun, allowed the gown’s architectural neckline to take center stage.
The timing of this red-hot fashion moment couldn’t be more perfect, as Gomez recently opened up about her upcoming nuptials to producer Benny Blanco during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” With characteristic warmth, she gushed, “It’s wonderful. I’m very lucky. It’s going well. I’m so excited,” while revealing that co-star Martin Short will serve as ring bearer—a detail that has us utterly charmed.
Given her recent string of impeccable fashion choices, from this Cult Gaia stunner to her previous press tour moments, anticipation is building around what the star will choose for her wedding day. If her current styling trajectory is any indication, we’re in for something spectacular.
