Selena Gomez just arrived at the 2025 BAFTAs in one of her best award season looks yet, wearing a silver halter neck gown absolutely dripping with crystals. She accessorized her fit with diamonds (what else?) and a deep red manicure.
Sel is nominated for a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA along with Ariana Grande for Wicked, Felicity Jones for The Brutalist, Jamie Lee Curtis for The Last Showgirl, Isabella Rossellini for Conclave, and Zoe Saldaña for Emilia Pérez. She's also presenting an award at the show.
The multi-hyphenate's BAFTAs appearance comes just days after she and Benny Blanco released the first song, "Scared of Loving You," off their new album. Selena chatted to Interview about working with Benny, "Sometimes it’s difficult for me to speak up. Most of my anxiety right now is wanting him to speak because I feel like he’s more talented than I am in this field. It’s like working with a great filmmaker. Whether we were together or not, I think he still would’ve listened to everything that I had to say, and he was able to almost transcribe it into music, into what the feeling of what I was talking about should be. And I really found that to be helpful because this album definitely feels just as much mine as I’m sure it does his."
Meanwhile, Benny added that "Every time she’s singing, I feel it so deep. Whether she wrote the song or not, it doesn’t matter. She could sing the phone book and convince me that it’s a depressing song. The thing that Selena does that not a lot of artists do is she’s never afraid to tell the truth, even if it might not be the most popular thing. Sometimes she’s sad, sometimes she hasn’t figured out love, but she always says it in the realest way that so many people can connect with. So many pop stars are unattainable, but somehow she’s the largest person in the room and makes each person feel like she’s exactly like them."
