Congratulations are in order for a bunch of Hollywood A-listers. Georgina Rodriguez just said ‘yes’ to Cristiano Ronaldo’s jaw dropping proposal, Charli XCX has officially tied the knot with The 1975’s drummer George Daniel, and now, we’re counting down the days until Selena Gomez walks down the aisle to become Mrs. Benny Blanco.
The Only Murders in the Building star announced her engagement to the singer-songwriter last December with an Instagram post captioned ‘forever begins now'. Over the weekend, Gomez hosted the launch party for Rare Beauty’s debut Eau de Parfum - a milestone moment in her new beauty empire - and while the fragrance may have been the star of the evening, her outfit was impossible to ignore. Dressed in a white, fringed Cult Gaia gown with a slinky silhouette and light shimmer, she subtly semaphored 'bride'. The dress paired with Cult Gaia’s signature bamboo-heeled sandals and silver earrings felt like it could easily transition from fragrance fête to rehearsal dinner.
It’s worth noting that Selena’s style often leans into approachable high-low dressing. Think Mango co-ords, sleek leather boots, and Missoma jewellery, making her choice of such an iridescent dress all the more telling. Modern bridal fashion often involves an entire wardrobe of white looks from courthouse chic to afterparty sparkle, and stars like Charli XCX have embraced the idea ofre-wearing bridal-adjacent outfits, who recently recycled her afterparty dress from the We Love Green festival in France. Selena’s launch party look could very well be part of that same multi-outfit-multi-purpose narrative.
With her September nuptials reportedly on the horizon, every public appearance doubles as a potential style clue. If this Cult Gaia moment is anything to go by, we may have just caught our first glimpse of the bridal energy she’ll be serving on the big day and it’s as polished, playful, and cool as you’d expect.
