Bachelorette Festivities in Cabo San Lucas
Selena Gomez recently celebrated her upcoming wedding to music producer Benny Blanco with a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The festivities took place over a weekend, during which Gomez was joined by close friends, including Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, Courtney Lopez, Connar Franklin Carpenter, and her cousin Priscilla DeLeon. The singer shared a series of photos and videos on Instagram, showcasing her bridal-themed outfits and the joyful atmosphere of the celebration.
Gomez embraced her bride-to-be status, donning various white ensembles throughout the weekend. Notable outfits included a pearl-encrusted halter mini-dress, a long-sleeved mini dress with floral embellishments, and a white bikini paired with a veil that read "bride to be." The group engaged in activities such as yacht outings, candlelit dinners, and movie nights, with the backdrop of their villa decorated with balloons spelling out "Mrs. Levin," a nod to Blanco's real name, Benjamin Joseph Levin.
Official Statements & Responses
Sources close to Gomez described the bachelorette party as a "very fun but chill weekend," emphasizing the significance of celebrating with her long-time friends. An insider noted, "Selena is a simple girl, and the little things go a long way with her. She truly exudes happiness when she talks about Benny." The couple, who got engaged in December 2024, have been together since June 2023, and their wedding is anticipated to take place in September 2025.
Criticism & Opposition
While Gomez's bachelorette party was a joyous occasion, it was noted that some of her famous friends, including Taylor Swift, were absent from the celebrations. Reports suggest that Gomez's friendship with actress Nicola Peltz has also soured, with claims that Peltz's behavior led to a rift between the two. Sources indicated that Gomez felt disappointed by Peltz's "diva-like" actions, which reportedly included seeking attention during social gatherings.
What's Next
As Gomez prepares for her wedding, she has hinted at a more relaxed approach to traditional wedding customs. In a recent interview, she mentioned that she and Blanco might skip the first dance, although she expressed a desire to have a special dance with her grandfather, who never had the chance to walk her mother down the aisle. The couple is expected to tie the knot in a ceremony attended by close friends and family, with many A-list guests anticipated to be present.
