It’s been a very sweet week for Selena Gomez. The Rare Beauty founder launched her first-ever brand fragrance, Rare Eau de Parfum, a gourmand offering with notes of caramel, vanilla, and sandalwood—“warm with just a touch of spice,” she recently told Vogue. To celebrate, she hosted a perfume-themed baking class with fiancé Benny Blanco, and made pistachio and caramel tiramisu.
On Thursday 7, Gomez kept celebrations going for the fragrance’s L.A. launch event. In a look styled by Erin Walsh (who often works with Gomez, as well as Alison Brie), Gomez wore a white, iridescent fringed halter dress from Cult Gaia. The slinky, shimmering dress felt bridal, a possible hint at a silhouette or style to come from Gomez, who is reportedly getting married in September.
She wore white, double-strapped stilettos with a bamboo-inspired sculptural heel—also from Cult Gaia—and sparkling silver earrings from Melinda Maria, as well as a series of cocktail rings to go alongside her pavé-set marquise diamond engagement ring.
Of course, clean, dewy glam was a central tenet for the night’s look too. Renato Campora slicked her hair into a swishy ponytail, while makeup artist Hung Vanngo created a warm brown smoky eye, and a glossy, pink-glossed caramel lip.
Bridal whites are a relatively new addition to Selena Gomez’s style lexicon; but Gomez has long been crafting a ladylike, refined, elegant aesthetic. If this playful, sensual white fringed gown is any hint at the looks we can expect from her biggest celebration to come, we’re excited.
