Newlywed Selena Gomez Shines at Academy Museum Gala

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.

Gomez also shared the valuable advice she has received from her close friend, singer Taylor Swift. "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room," Swift's words of wisdom have stuck with Gomez, who continues to stay grounded despite her growing success.
