On the red carpet, Gomez and Blanco clasped hands, grinned brightly, and exchanged glances at each other with love, which quickly became the evening's high point. Their presence brought a joyful, personal note to a night filled with cinematic celebration and fashion spectacle.
The Look: Old‑Hollywood Glam Meets Velvet Synergy
In a custom black velvet strapless gown by Giorgio Armani Privé, which was adorned with sparkling crystals at the neckline, Gomez embraced timeless glamour. For a classic look, she wore diamond chandelier earrings, worn a matching black evening jacket over the gown, put her hair in a straight updo, and finished it with a striking red lip.

Blanco, who stood next her, chose to wear a midnight-blue double-breasted Armani velvet suit, a navy silk shirt underneath, stacked necklaces, and elegant loafers—modern style that perfectly complemented Gomez's outfit. Together, they created a cohesive look that exuded flair and unity—the kind of red carpet moment that equal parts romance, and fashion.
Turning a New Chapter
For Gomez, this evening marked more than just a glamorous appearance—it symbolized her new chapter after tying the knot with Blanco on 27th September. The event also coincided with a resurgence of interest in a long-running public drama between Hailey Bieber and her cosmetics company. Many felt Bieber's previous comments about feeling "pitted" against other people as a subliminal allusion to Gomez's own company, Rare Beauty. Gomez, on the other hand, responded with calm professionalism via social media, posting: "Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn't affect my life whatsoever…Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone."
