On Saturday night, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco walked the red carpet at the 5th Annual Academy Museum Gala. The newlyweds were enjoying their first public appearance since getting married in September, showing just how deep their connection is with their matching looks.
Gomez wore an Armani Prive black velvet column gown under a black tuxedo jacket. The neckline of the gown was embellished with a sweep of rhinestones. The Rare Beauty founder had diamond De Beers earrings dangling from her ears. She wore her hair back in a slicked-back chignon and wore red lipstick for a pop of color. Blanco was also wearing black velvet and a two-piece suit over a smokey blue silk shirt. He paired the ensemble with black loafers and a series of necklaces.

Gomez and Blanco were married on September 27th in Montecito, California. Gomez wore numerous looks throughout her epic wedding weekend, including four Ralph Lauren wedding dresses. The guest list was as star-studded as any museum gala, including Paris Hilton, SZA, Zoe Saldaña, Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.
A source told Us Weekly at the time that the couple wrote their own vows and things got pretty emotional.
“Everyone in the room was sobbing and it was very emotional,” they said, adding that during Blanco’s “heartfelt and tender” vows, Gomez “rolled her eyes and cried.”
