Selena Gomez: Will She Attend the Met Gala with Benny Blanco?

Will Selena Gomez be attending the Met Gala with Benny Blanco?

Selena Gomez has swapped one look for another over the years, but she she remains consistently gorgeous.

That’s as true for her Met Gala appearances as anywhere else. Selena is a style inspiration.

Fans always wonder what look Selena will wear if and when she attends. And right now, they want to know whether Selena will bring Benny Blanco as her Plus One to the high fashion charity.

2014 was Selena Gomez’s first Met Gala

In 2014, she and other guests attended the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibition. Selena Gomez arrived in a jaw-dropping Diane von Furstenburg plum gown.

Selena has never needed a date on her arm to accessorize. Even though she has, in fact,

For Gomez’s very first Met Gala—in 2014, celebrating the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibition—the star wore a plunging plum gown by Diane von Furstenburg. It’s a timeless silhouette that set the tone for almost every Met she’s attended since.

In 2015, Selena honored ‘China: Through the Looking Glass’

Selena Gomez wore a white and deeply flattering Vera Wang gown to her second Met Gala.

The most eye-catching part of her ensemble was a bold bouquet of white orchids in her hair.

Some years, however, Selena sports a simpler hairstyle to allow the focus to fall upon her dress.

In 2016, Selena Gomez went subtly futuristic for ‘Manux x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology’

Selena did not try to outdo the most creative or campy guests, but she also did not ignore the Met Gala prompt.

Instead, she wore a Louis Vuitton embellished white slip dress below a leather corseted harness.

Simple jewelry accessories brought a flash of metal into the retro-futurist vibe.

Some would argue that Selena’s BEST Met Gala look was in 2017

In 2017, Selena Gomez dressed to impress for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons” affair.

Selena worse a white Coach slip dress featuring a plunging neckline. She often favors simple embroidery accents on her clothing, and 2017 is only one of many examples of that preference.

Notably, in 2017, Selena attended the Met Gala with The Weeknd. It was their red carpet debut as a couple.

2018 was a rare miss for Selena’s Met Gala looks

Selena’s majestic custom Coach dress worked well for 2018’s “Heavenly Bodies” exhibition. Her makeup, however, looked better in person than on camera.

After 2018, Selena took years off from the Met Gala. We don’t think that it was an “oh no, my makeup wasn’t photogenic and I’m too ashamed to show up” hiatus. She has been busy, working on her physical and mental health.

Fans want to see Selena return to the Met Gala in 2024 and beyond. But even if she’s on the Met Gala guest list, will she come alone?

Will Selena Gomez bring Benny Blanco to the Met Gala in 2024?

Ahead of the event itself, it remains unclear whether Selena Gomez will actually attend. Let alone whether she and Benny Blanco will make a Met Gala debut as a couple.

Many Selenators do not really understand the romance. That’s fine. It’s Selena’s relationship, not theirs.

If they do end up at the Met Gala side by side, it will be interesting to see their red carpet looks.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Dating? She’s Willing to Fight Fans Over It

Just a few weeks ago, it seemed that Selena Gomez was quietly worrying about other people’s romances.

Now, reports say, she has her own to worry about.

Selena spent a good amount of time this week strongly hinting that she really is dating a guy who happens to be friends with notorious ex Justin Bieber.

She even took to comments to defend things, growing heated as people poked fun at her taste in men. Awkward!

First, various reports began to note that Selena Gomez was “in a relationship” and even “dating producer Benny Blanco.”

Initially, these remained unconfirmed. Then, Selena commened “facts” under a report by Popfaction that she was dating someone. She also liked that same account’s claim about Benny Blanco.

Those are some strong hints, bordering on confirmation. But just who is Benny Blanco?

The Virginia native combined skill and luck to rise within the music industry. Benny’s first hit EP dates back to 2007.

He’s a friend of Justin Bieber. And the two have collaborated on music in the past.

Benny also once referred to Selena as a “cookie-cutter pop artist.” In addition to being false (Selena is supremely talented and has created some of the greatest songs in the history of the world, and no that is not hyperbole), those might be words that he’s regretting right about now.

Allegedly, he and Selena have been dating for about six months.

Presumably, they had time to discuss past statements that were both insulting and patently false.

But here is where this report gets a little messy. Some of Selena’s followers and even fans began to give her a hard time about this.

Every now and then, most people get into the mood to throw hands on social media.

Maybe you look at bizarre, malicious laugh reacts under an interview with a child star or alarmingly popular pro-genocide arguments or even just disputes about movies and games.

In Selena’s case, it was about her relationship. It would have been better, or at least wiser, to let fans talk among themselves.

Comment after comment shows Selena (presumably referring to Benny Blanco) refer to him as her “absolute everything.”

Another calls him “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her.

Elsewhere, Selena wrote: “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.” That is not necessarily a high bar.

“He has treated me better than any human being on this planet,” read another comment.

“I don’t understand … this is my happiest,” she affirmed. “If you don’t [care about me] feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done.”

Selena then suggested: “If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [my] life at all.” That’s fair — most of the time. Possibly this time.

Encouragingly, Selena vowed that she’s “not going to be with a f–kboy ever again.” Good!

Some fans believe that Selena may have been the victim of hacking. That would explain her unusually combative replies.

But maybe she’s just really into this guy. It sure sounds like it.
