Selena Gomez Serves a Chocolate Fantasy While Crashing ‘Spring Breakers’ Screening With Benny Blanco
Last night, fans of Spring Breakers gathered for the A24 IMAX re-release of the 2012 film. What the large group didn’t expect was a surprise appearance from one of its stars. Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco snuck into the NYC theater for the viewing, looking stylishly smitten as they sat front row. Between dozens of award shows and media events for Emilia Pérez, Gomez has been on a fashion rampage. The 32-year-old’s look for the Spring Breakers screening was more casual than the red carpet, but it’s one of her best yet.
Gomez donned a coated leather jacket in a rich chocolate brown, matching the piece with a sheer high-neck top underneath. She layered a structured taupe bra beneath for a touch of sex appeal, adding lightly distressed straight-leg denim and chocolate satin pointed-toe heels. The Wizards of Waverly Place actor accessorized with a brown suede belt and black bucket bag. Gomez’s thick gold hoop earrings highlighted the hardware of her coat and belt.
Gomez wore a berry lip stain with a shiny gloss on top, lightly defining her dark brows and lashes. The Only Murders in the Building star‘s look was a masterclass in understated elegance, which could translate to autumn effortlessly.
After surprising the Spring Breakers viewers, the Rare Beauty founder took to Instagram to share a selfie of the evening. “Wanna do it all again,” Gomez captioned the post. “Benny and I crashed an anniversary screening of Spring Breakers last night to premiere Bluest Flame, a new song from our album! The sweetest crowd! @ashleybenson @vanessahudgens @rachel.korine & @harmonykorine we missed you so much.”
In contrast to Selena’s classic fits, Benny Blanco’s style is a bit more eclectic and playful. The music producer wore acid-wash denim and a graphic shacket to the Spring Breakers screening. Known for his streetwear and retro looks, Blanco added quirky accessories like cowboy-style boots and layers of gold chains with colorful stones for an effortlessly cool vibe.
Gomez and Blanco’s relationship blossomed from a professional collab, with Blanco producing Gomez’s 2019 hit “Lose You to Love Me.” Their friendship deepened, leading to them going public with their romance in December 2023. Gomez and Blanco made their red carpet debut at the 75th Emmy Awards in January 2024, signaling a significant step in their public journey as a couple. After over a year of dating, the couple announced their engagement on December 11, 2024. Blanco proposed during a casual Taco Bell-themed picnic.
Gomez shared the news on Instagram, posting photos of the intimate moment and her unique marquise-shaped diamond ring. Their engagement has been filled with special moments. Blanco visited Gomez’s hometown in Grand Prairie, Texas. They’ve completed many joint interviews that pull back the curtain on their personal life together. The pair also collaborated on a joint album, I Said I Love You First, releasing on March 21, 2025.
