Selena Gomez attends Santa Barbara International Film Festival in a chic minidress
The Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2025 marked a special milestone for Selena Gomez as a Virtuosos Awards honoree. She accepted the award for her outstanding work in Jacques Audiard’s Oscar-nominated film, Emilia Pérez. Gomez stunned on the red carpet in a chic Magda Butrym minidress, looking elegantly beautiful. According to the luxury clothing brand’s official website, her cream-colored floral appliqué sheath dress comes in black, red, and pink. The details further mentioned that the dress comprised an open back design with a “sleeveless silhouette, and 3D floral appliqué at the hip.”
Photos from the 40th SBIFF exhibited Gomez arriving at the Arlington Theatre by layering her ensemble with a fuzzy, oversized coat. She paired the dress — that did not extend beyond her thighs — with white, pointed-toe sling-back heels. Gomez styled her gorgeous black and shoulder-length hair into beach waves, which struck out even more in contrast to her whitish ensemble. Moreover, she accessorized with marvelous jewelry, such as a couple of rings, including her engagement ring. As for her makeup, the singer opted for neutral tones, a matte lip, and subtle dramatic eyes.
Others who attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival 2025 alongside Selena Gomez were Ariana Grande, who was also a Virtuosos Award honoree. A clip showed the “Wicked” actor looking as dreamy as ever in a pink, floral gown that looked straight out of a fairy tale. More photos from the star-studded event showed the Rare Beauty founder speaking on stage and posing with the honorees, including Grande, Clarence Maclin, Fernanda Torres, John Magaro, Mikey Madison, Monica Barbaro, and Sebastian Stan.
