May 7, 2025: Fashion’s biggest night, the Met Gala 2025, dazzled with style and elegance as it rolled out its iconic blue carpet for the biggest stars from all around the world. Held on May 5, 2025, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” paid tribute to Black dandyism, sharp silhouettes, and personal style. The dress code, “Tailored for You,” invited attendees to celebrate individuality and the art of custom tailoring.
While fans were eagerly waiting to see Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco grace the red carpet together, they were left disappointed as the couple was notably absent from the event. However, Selena did not leave her followers empty-handed. She shared a series of pictures on Instagram that captured her having a blast with Benny and friends, providing fans with a glimpse of the evening’s more casual moments.
In the post, Selena was seen enjoying herself in a stunning floral white dress, exuding a sense of effortless beauty. The carousel included a picture of Benny Blanco savoring some cheesy bread with their friends, followed by a snap of a hearty bowl of pasta — a clear nod to the “supper club” vibes Selena mentioned in her caption: “Supper club. Engagements, childhood food and Dave, sorry I didn’t try your pasta?”
The fun-filled moments from the after-party seemed to make up for their absence on the Met Gala carpet. Fans may have been left wondering why Selena and Benny skipped the iconic red carpet, but the couple likely had other commitments keeping them busy.
Last year, Benny Blanco proposed to Selena in a surprise engagement during a charming picnic with Taco Bell takeout, a proposal that reportedly took Selena completely off guard. While the Met Gala may have been a missed opportunity for the couple to make a grand entrance, they have had plenty of other high-profile events to attend.

Selena, who has been on a whirlwind tour of red carpet events, was seen at the Oscars earlier this year, where she showed her support for her film Emilia Perez, which had multiple nominations. Additionally, Selena received nominations for her performance at the BAFTA, SAG, and Golden Globe awards, proving that her talent continues to shine brightly on the big stage.
While fans eagerly anticipate seeing Selena and Benny together at the next big event, for now, their low-key celebration at the Met Gala after party remains the highlight of the evening for many.
