Selena Gomez went out in New York City after getting a sought-after French award on Thursday for her role in the quirky show Emilia Perez.

Gomez, who is 32 years old, plays the lead role in the Spanish-language crime comedy about a cruel drug gang boss who fakes their own death to become a woman.

Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldana, Edgar Ramirez, and Adriana Paz all give great performances in the movie directed by Jacques Audiard.

The Ordre des Arts et des Lettres was given to Gomez and the rest of the Emilia Perez group at Villa Albertine in New York, which is the French Institute for Culture and Education.

The award is given to people whose writing, art, or other artistic works have “significantly contributed to the enrichment of French cultural inheritance.”

It was given to them by Mohamed Bouabdallah, who is the head of Villa Albertine and a French cultural diplomat in the United States. 

The beautiful green award was pinned to Gomez’s sexy black blazer dress’s silk lapel. 

The rich woman thanked Ambassador Bouabdallah and Villa Albertine as she posted pictures from the event on Instagram.

“Thank you, @mbouabdallah_, for giving the Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres to Emilia Perez tonight at @villa.albertine in honour of my cast!” He used to work for Disney Channel.

She sent a selfie showing off her medal and pictures of the group clinking champagne glasses with Ambassador Bouabdallah.  

For the important night, she wore a sleek blazer dress with black shoes that had gold heels that sparkled.

Gomez had long, straight brown hair that went down her back and chest.

When it came to her makeup, the head of Rare Beauty wore smokey eyes and a matte rose-colored lip.

The bronzing powder helped shape her already beautiful features, giving her cheeks a rosy glow.

Gomez walked down a New York City path with two bodyguards following her.

Gomez has had a busy week in New York City. On Monday, the premiere of Emilia Perez took place at the New York Film Festival.

For the event at Manhattan’s Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall, the brunette beauty walked the red carpet in a skintight black halter dress that made her slimmer body stand out, which led to rumours that she might be competing in the Olympics.

Her brown hair was pulled back into a sleek bun, and her makeup artist gave her fierce eyeliner for the event.

Zoe Saldana, Adriana Paz, Karla Sofia Gascon, and Edgar Ramirez were all there with her, just like they were on Thursday.

Selena plays Jessi Del Monte, the transgender wife of a Mexican drug lord, in Jacques Audiard’s highly acclaimed film, which opens in some theatres November 1 and then starts streaming on Netflix November 13.

Going through all the hard work to make this movie was worth every bit of it, Gomez, who has 648.8M fans on social media, said last week.

“Jacques, @karsiagascon, @zoesaldana, @adytapaz, @edgarramirez25, I am so proud of this project.” (my whole family) and I can’t wait for you all to see it! “This movie changed my life!”

Emilia Pérez has a “certified fresh” 87% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes right now, based on 63 reviews.

The movie won a big award at its world premiere at Cannes in May and had its U.S. debut at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival last month.

Selena also went to Sabrina Carpenter’s sold-out Short n’ Sweet Tour show at Madison Square Garden while she was in New York City.

There was a lot of talk about Selena after a video of her dancing seductively on her hot co-star Edgar during a show went viral.

Fans were scared that the video showed that Selena’s relationship with 36-year-old music artist Benny Blanco was in trouble.

But on Tuesday, Selena put an end to the crazy rumours.

She did this by posting a new video of herself and Edgar dancing at another show. She joked about it by writing, “OMG how dare I dance with my bestie.”

After dating the singer in secret for five months, Selena made it official that she was dating Benny in December 2023.

Benny has been a big part of Selena’s social media since then, and he was her date to the 2024 Emmy Awards last month.

There have been rumours that they are engaged ever since Selena showed up in LA in August with a ring on her wedding finger.
