Selena Gomez, 32, turned heads at the 2025 Oscars on March 2, dazzling in a crystal-embellished Ralph Lauren gown—sans fiancé Benny Blanco on the red carpet.
Despite Blanco, 36, escorting her into the Dolby Theatre, he skipped the photo ops, sparking fan questions. Gomez, a presenter and star of “Emilia Pérez,” glowed solo as her film nabbed 13 nominations, including Best Picture.
Blanco’s absence from the carpet puzzled some, though he’s been a steady presence this awards season. He joined Gomez at the Golden Globes in January, where she lost two nods, but missed the SAG Awards, where she won with “Only Murders in the Building” castmates. Sources say he’s supportive, just not camera-ready this time.
Love On, Photos Off
Engaged in December 2024, Gomez and Blanco plan to drop their joint album, “I Said I Love The First,” on March 21. Their romance, born from music collabs, has Blanco calling her “the right person” from day one. He told interviewers he knew she was his “wife” instantly. Transitioning to Oscars night, his low-key role let Gomez shine, hinting at a deliberate choice.
Gomez’s Big Night
With “Emilia Pérez” in the spotlight and her presenter gig, Gomez owned the evening. Fans adore their love story, but Blanco’s red-carpet dodge kept the focus on her. For now, their bond thrives off-camera, leaving the solo snaps a minor mystery in a major year.
