Golden Globes: Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Channels Modern Hollywood Glamour In Chanel

Nominated for the fourth consecutive year for ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ the star debuted her shortest bob to date alongside husband Benny Blanco.

If the 83rd Golden Globe Awards were about evolution, Selena Gomez was its primary architect. Arriving at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday, January 11, 2026, the actor-singer bypassed the typical red-carpet “noise” for a look that whispered luxury and screamed confidence.

Nominated for Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her fifth season as Mabel Mora, Gomez arrived not just as a nominee, but as a newlywed, walking hand-in-hand with husband Benny Blanco.

The Couture Breakdown: 323 Hours of Chanel

Gomez’s choice of Chanel was a masterclass in architectural restraint. The custom black velvet column gown served as a sophisticated canvas for its most dramatic feature: the neckline.

• The Neckline: A sculptural off-the-shoulder detail that bloomed into a froth of soft white feathers and handcrafted florals.
• The Craftsmanship: According to the Chanel atelier, the gown took 323 hours to complete and featured 200 hand-crafted elements made from silk chiffon, organza, and feathers.
• The Vibe: Styled by Erin Walsh, the look was a sharp pivot from the “Cinderella” Prada gown she wore to the 2025 ceremony, leaning instead into a more mature, refined aesthetic.

The Beauty Transformation: The “Shortest Bob”

While the dress was a marvel, the internet was ablaze over Gomez’s hair—her shortest and most daring cut to date.

• The Cut: A chin-length, blunt-cut bob that accentuated her jawline.
• The Styling: Expertly set in glossy finger waves with a deep side part, the hair paid homage to 1920s glamour while remaining strikingly modern.
• The Makeup: Gomez kept her complexion luminous, opting for a bold matte red lip (likely a new shade from Rare Beauty) that anchored the entire monochromatic ensemble.

Awards Outcome: A Night of ‘Hacks’ and ‘Studio’

Despite the immense buzz surrounding Only Murders in the Building, which was renewed for a sixth season set in London, the night belonged to the veterans of the category.

Though Gomez didn’t take home the statue, her fourth consecutive nomination cements her as a mainstay of the television elite. As one critic noted on X, “Selena Gomez is no longer just attending these shows; she’s defining them.”
