Selena Gomez Dazzles At 2025 SAG Awards

Gomez embraces old Hollywood glamor as she shines on the red carpet without fiancé Benny Blanco.

Selena Gomez made a memorable appearance at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) held on Sunday, February 23, 2025, at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. The multifaceted star, also recognized for her performances, undoubtedly turned heads with her stunning attire.

The 32-year-old actress and singer channeled old Hollywood glamor wearing a dazzling off-the-shoulder midnight blue gown custom-designed by Celine. The gown featured structured draping across the bust and shoulders, highlighted by a dramatic thigh-high slit, showcasing her legs and elegance. Gomez complemented this sophisticated look with black strappy sandals and diamond drop earrings, as well as her exquisite engagement ring from fiancé Benny Blanco.

Gomez attended the SAG Awards without Blanco, who didn’t appear to be with her at the event. Following their engagement announcement back in December 2024, fans were eager to see the couple together again. The engagement ring—an impressive marquise-shaped piece—was reportedly crafted with great care, symbolizing their deepening relationship. The ring design was overseen by jewelry experts Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, and its estimated worth is around $200,000, indicating how serious Blanco is about their future together.

Even though Gomez was not nominated for individual awards this year, she participated actively as she presented during the ceremony, which was hosted by Kristen Bell. She was recognized for her roles in the Netflix musical “Emilia Pérez” and the acclaimed series “Only Murders in the Building,” where she showcased her acting chops. The ensemble she was part of notched nominations for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in Motion Picture, and she was involved as part of the cast for comedy series ensemble nominations as well.

Over the past year, Gomez has kept busy, not just focusing on acting but also developing her music career. Just before the SAG Awards, she and Blanco announced their collaborative album titled “I Said I Love You First,” set to release on March 21, 2025. Gomez teased her followers with the announcement saying, "I always trick you guys 🥰 my NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco is out on 3/21 🖤," garnering excitement from fans for this upcoming project.

Her musical partnership with Blanco has added another exciting dimension to her career. Reflecting on their connection, Gomez shared, "It was really simple. We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that's how easy it was for me. I liked him before he liked me." Blanco reciprocated these sentiments, confirming their close connection and how it became evident from the onset of their collaboration. "This is the girl I'm going to marry," he remarked, expressing his commitment.

Back on the red carpet, Gomez’s look included expert styling from Erin Walsh, whom she has worked with since June 2023. This collaboration has seen her enchant audiences with various high-profile appearances over the past year, with her style encompassing everything from Atelier Versace to Prada. At last year’s SAG Awards, Gomez dazzled guests wearing a bridal-style gown by Atelier Versace, indicating her transformation on the red carpet is quite intentional.

The SAG Awards ceremony, which honors outstanding performances from the film and television industries, showcased plenty of star power, with nominees from popular series and films as well. Notably, the performance of “Emilia Pérez” and “Only Murders in the Building” demonstrated the diversity and excellence prevalent within today's entertainment industry. Despite not receiving the individual award this time, Gomez and her peers took center stage during the festivities, emphasizing teamwork and collective achievements.

This year, “Shōgun” and “Wicked” received the most nominations with five nods each, reflecting the competitive nature of the awards this year, with Jane Fonda also receiving the Life Achievement Award, emphasizing the annual event's significance.

Gomez has expressed feeling fulfilled and happy to be recognized alongside her peers, showcasing both her personal and professional milestones. Reflecting on this momentous occasion, she noted, "I am in such a happy place right now, and it feels great to be able to say this." This snapshot of her career reveals both her drive and her commitment to her craft as she continues to navigate the intricacies of fame and relationships.

While attending the SAG Awards, Gomez not only turned heads with her glamorous look but also demonstrated the balancing act between her roles as an artist, actress, and fiancé. With exciting projects on the horizon and continued recognition for her performances, fans can expect to see more inspiring moments from this multifaceted star.
