Selena Gomez turned heads on the Emmys 2026 red carpet on Sept. 14, arriving at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles in a form-fitting gold Louis Vuitton gown covered in beaded stripes.
The Only Murders in the Building star paired the strapless look with Tiffany & Co. gold-and-diamond drop earrings, silver cocktail rings and a $175,000 Bird on a Rock bracelet. She wore her black hair down and kept her makeup glowy and minimal.
Only Murders in the Building's Emmy Nomination
Gomez's series, in which she stars alongside Martin Short and Steve Martin, is nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series at this year's ceremony. It faces competition from Abbott Elementary, Nobody Wants This, The Bear, Shrinking, Margo's Got Money Troubles, Hacks and Widow's Bay.
Only Murders in the Building has won seven Emmys across its first five seasons. The show is currently filming its sixth and final season in London.
Gomez has previously joked that she wouldn't be upset if the series left the ceremony empty-handed. The 34-year-old said she practiced her Emmys loser face on The Tonight Show in 2024, crediting the inspiration to a classic Friends episode. Responding to a fan online at the time, she wrote, "Facts. @jenniferaniston taught me too lol."
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Marriage
Gomez attended the ceremony with her husband, Benny Blanco, whom she married in September 2025. Speaking to Vanity Fair in 2024, Gomez said, "I've never been loved this way. He's just been a light. A complete light in my life."
The Wizards of Waverly Place alum has also called the 37-year-old her best friend, saying, "I love telling him everything."
Blanco has said the feeling is mutual. He told Interview magazine in 2025 that he knew almost immediately he wanted to marry her. "The second we started hanging out, I was like, 'This is my wife,'" he said. "I was telling my mom, 'This is the girl I'm going to marry.'"
He added that their connection went beyond any single moment together. "She's the first person that I've been with where I'm like, 'I don't even give a f--k what's going on,'" Blanco said. "I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn't miss anything."
