Just weeks after tying the knot, 33-year-old actress and singer Selena Gomez attended the prestigious Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 18, 2025. Gomez exuded old Hollywood elegance in a stunning black gown with sparkling embellishments, paired with a black suit jacket and a bold red lip.
Gomez's appearance at the event, which raises funds for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, comes as her cooking show "Selena + Restaurant" was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. This is Gomez's third Daytime Emmy nomination, having previously been recognized for her work on "Selena + Chef" and its holiday spin-off.
In a recent interview, Gomez opened up about how her culinary skills have improved since the first season, saying, "Season 1, I was a complete disaster, and not to say I still don't have my moments, but I've come a long way." Her latest series, "Selena + Restaurant," follows Gomez as she explores the competitive Los Angeles food scene with her best friend, Raquelle Stevens.
