Selena Gomez made a stylish appearance in New York City on Tuesday, promoting her new musical comedy Emilia Perez. The Spanish-language film, featuring Karla Sofia Gascon as a cartel leader undergoing a gender transition, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and garnered acclaim, including a joint Best Actress award for Selena, Karla, and their co-stars Zoe Saldana and Adriana Paz.

After a limited theatrical release in the U.S. and Canada on November 1, Emilia Perez was released on Netflix later that month to positive reviews. With the film now widely available for streaming, Selena was spotted heading to tape an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
She showcased her legs in a sleek black leather miniskirt, paired with matching hose and towering stilettos. Selena styled the skirt with a white top and completed the look with a sequined jacket and a nearly floor-length black coat trimmed with faux fur. Her raven hair was elegantly styled in a bob, and her makeup featured a slick of flesh-toned lipstick.

This public appearance comes amid a social media stir regarding her longtime boyfriend, Benny Blanco, who appeared in People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive issue. While John Krasinski graced the cover, Benny’s inclusion sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising his unique charm and humor, while others expressed disbelief.
In August, Selena fueled engagement rumors with a mirror selfie that featured a heart emoji over her left-hand ring finger, while Benny was spotted behind her. Although there were whispers of an engagement, she has since been seen without any ring at promotional events.
Selena has referred to Benny as the “love of my life,” revealing that she was the first to say “I love you” in their relationship. They went public in December 2023 after dating secretly for six months. A source disclosed that Selena feels ready to settle down and sees a future with Benny, mentioning their discussions about marriage and children.
With her property portfolio that includes homes in Los Angeles and Manhattan, Selena is reportedly considering a move to New York, where Benny is based. He is a successful music producer who has collaborated with a range of artists, including Selena herself.
Earlier this year, Selena shared her plans to adopt a child independently if she remained single by age 35, reflecting on her journey of self-acceptance during her time alone.
