Selena Gomez Celebrates Bachelorette Weekend in Style Before Wedding to Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez has officially stepped into bride-to-be mode with a glamorous bachelorette celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The 33-year-old Rare Beauty founder gathered her closest friends—women who have been by her side for over a decade—for an intimate pre-wedding getaway ahead of her marriage to music producer Benny Blanco. The celebration struck the perfect balance between luxury and meaningful connection, featuring private chef-prepared dinners, a day on the water, and plenty of sun-soaked relaxation at their exclusive villa. “It was a very fun but chill weekend,” a source told Us Weekly, highlighting how much it meant to Gomez to share these precious pre-wedding moments with her long-time friends. The celebration comes months after the couple announced their engagement in December 2024, with Gomez captioning their announcement photo with the heartfelt promise: “Forever begins now.”
Throughout the weekend, Gomez showcased her exceptional bridal style with a series of white ensembles that perfectly captured her transition into bride status. Perhaps most striking was her evening look—a $1,500 Retrofête “Yaeko” halterneck mini dress adorned with dazzling sequins and faux pearls. The form-fitting piece featured an open back design and was described by the designer as the “perfect choice” for a bachelorette celebration. What made this outfit particularly charming was Gomez’s pairing of high-end luxury with accessibility—she topped the designer dress with a surprisingly affordable $16 tulle layered veil from Lulus, which featured delicate “bride to be” lettering in elegant cursive. The combination perfectly encapsulated Gomez’s approachable yet sophisticated personal style, demonstrating that memorable bridal moments can blend investment pieces with budget-friendly accessories.
For daytime celebrations, Gomez was the picture of ethereal beauty in a hand-crocheted Cult Gaia dress that retailed for $758. The off-the-shoulder design featured three-dimensional floral appliqués that created a modern yet timeless silhouette. “She went for a look that feels modern, sculptural, and subtly bridal,” explained Lauren Champi in a press statement on behalf of Infinity Creative Agency. “Think goddess energy meets best-dressed guest, with the kind of understated drama that cool brides alike can’t stop pinning.” Gomez completed this dreamy ensemble with a matching scrunchie and delicate gold hoop earrings, creating a cohesive look that embraced bridal white while maintaining her signature style. The outfit perfectly complemented the Mexican coastline as she and her friends enjoyed the spectacular views of Cabo San Lucas.
No beach getaway would be complete without swimwear, and Gomez chose a white L’SPACE bikini that balanced elegance with beachy relaxation. Her Sunrise Shell Bikini Top, priced at $130, featured underwired molded shell cups with scallop detailing and beautiful beads—a mermaid-inspired design that elevated the classic white swimsuit. She paired this with the matching Lucia Bikini Bottom ($88), which showcased string side ties adorned with coordinating beads. For a mirror selfie taken in their villa, Gomez added a crochet cover-up that completed the resort-ready ensemble. This attention to detail, even in her casual beachwear, demonstrated how thoroughly Gomez embraced the bridal aesthetic throughout the celebratory weekend, creating a cohesive visual story across all her appearances.
The celebration marks an important milestone in Gomez and Blanco’s relationship, which became public in December 2023. While the couple initially sparked romance rumors earlier that year, they waited until they were certain about their connection before sharing it with the world. Since then, Gomez hasn’t been shy about expressing her feelings for Blanco, who has clearly made a profound impact on her life. In a touching comment on a fan page’s Instagram post, she wrote, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” adding the rhetorical question, “Why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” This genuine affection provides a heartwarming context for the bachelorette celebration, suggesting that this weekend of friendship and pre-wedding joy is just the beginning of Gomez’s next chapter.
As Gomez transitions from bachelorette celebrations to wedding preparations, her Cabo getaway represents much more than just a fashionable pre-wedding party. It symbolizes the beautiful intersection of her past and future—honoring the friendships that have sustained her through over a decade in the spotlight while celebrating the love that will carry her forward. The thoughtfully curated weekend balanced luxury experiences with intimate moments, designer fashion with accessible touches, and celebratory festivities with meaningful connection. As fans eagerly await details of the upcoming Gomez-Blanco wedding, this bachelorette celebration offers a glimpse into how the star approaches significant life moments—with style, authenticity, and surrounded by the people who matter most. The future Mrs. Levin, as she’s now being called, is embracing this new chapter with the same grace and openness that has endeared her to fans throughout her career.
