Best friends don’t copy - they match…at least when it comes to Ralph Lauren. Selena Gomez tied the knot with Benny Blanco on 27th September in sun-soaked Santa Barbara, and in a move that had fans buzzing, both wore custom Ralph Lauren looks. For Selena, it was a nod to her BFF Taylor Swift, a designer devotee who recently said ‘yes’ to a Ralph Lauren gown for her own engagement to Travis Kelce. The choice felt personal and perfectly in line with Selena’s understated style.
Sources hint that Taylor was one of Selena’s bridesmaids - hardly surprising, given the pop princess’s penchant for showing up for her nearest and dearest. Speaking of which, Selena’s bridal entourage was reportedly made up of her longtime girlfriends, who have stood by Gomez over the years. Back in December 2024, when Selena announced her engagement, Taylor cheekily commented: ‘Yes, I will be the flower girl.’ Perhaps that playful promise came to life on the sunny Californian day.
Selena’s bridal look had been the subject of speculation for months. She’d been dropping subtle hints about a halter-neck silhouette, with fans noting cues from the fringed Cult Gaia number she wore to her beauty perfume launch and the red gown she wore to the Emmys last month. On the wedding day, those whispers became reality.
Selena’s wedding dress also felt completely in line with her signature high-low approach. The star often reaches for brands like Mango and Missoma. Much like Taylor Swift, whose looks are aspirational yet very easy to imagine wearing yourself. She kept her hair simple too, and tapped into celebrity hair stylist Renato Campora, who created: a side-parted, bouncy blowout that was sleek without looking overdone.
And yes, it wasn’t just Selena who got the Ralph treatment - Benny Blanco opted for a tailored Ralph Lauren suit, nicely complementing his bride. Gomez celebrating her big day in a house that has woven itself into both her and Taylor’s love stories, felt fitting and very best friend coded.
