Look of the Week: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s love language is matching looks
Coordinated celebrity couple looks are a tale as old as time. From Victoria and David Beckham’s memorable matching leather ensembles in 1999 to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s iconic double denim attire in 2001, numerous stars have synchronized their wardrobes to express their relationship status.
The latest couple to embrace the matchy-matchy trend is actress and singer Selena Gomez and record producer Benny Blanco. Newly engaged and fresh from releasing a new album, “I Said I Love You First”, marking their first project as a couple, the pop music duo was spotted in coordinated western outfits as they arrived at Madison Square Garden in New York to watch the Knicks vs. Celtics basketball game on Tuesday.
Gomez and Blanco looked like a mirror image of each other as they wore matching camel-colored, calf-skimming coats and low-heeled cowboy-style boots. But they also added individual touches to their looks: Gomez opted for classic pieces including blue jeans and a black handbag, while Blanco ditched his typical rainbow colors for a pair of cow-print pants and a striped baby blue and white Coors Rodeo work shirt. During the game, the couple sat courtside and posed affectionately for the jumbotron.
The approach to joint dressing was not a departure from the norm for Gomez and Blanco, who first met in 2015 when Blanco co-produced Gomez’s single “Same Old Love.” Last December, they announced their engagement on Instagram, with Gomez showing off her glittering Marquise-cut diamond ring. Since then, the pair have appeared together publicly at several high-profile events, including the 82nd Annual Golden Globes in January, where Gomez wore a pastel blue off-the-shoulder gown alongside Blanco in a harmoniously pale white suit. In February, they appeared on the cover of Interview Magazine, clad in matching pinstripe zoot-suits; Gomez in full-glam makeup and Blanco nestling dotingly onto her shoulder with his usual groomed scruff.
The couple also made a stylish appearance at the 2025 Oscars in March, with Gomez dazzling in a custom Ralph Lauren gown, featuring over 16,000 drops of glass and hand-sewn Rosemont crystals, and Blanco opting for a white suit and diamond brooch instead of a tie. Both exuded an air of old Hollywood glamour, though Blanco later commented on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that Gomez deserved “a medal of honor” for her glamorous effort. Meanwhile, he joked that he “looked like a slob” in comparison.
While that was far from the case, it appears that Blanco never misses the opportunity to praise Gomez. That’s evident on his TikTok account, which often features him cooking for her, prompting some followers to endearingly joke that his page has become a Gomez fan account.
