Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have officially entered the couples’ costume chat! And let me tell you, this is no “we-both-wore-black-and-called-it-a-day” kind of situation. Oh no. These two are playing hardball with Halloween, and the internet can’t handle it.
On Saturday, October 26th, the multi-hyphenate queen of our hearts, Selena Gomez (singer/actress/makeup mogul/all-around icon) decided to bless us with some serious holiday content on the ‘gram. Her partner in crime? None other than Benny Blanco—musical wizard, snack lover, and now official Mad Hatter impersonator.
Down the Rabbit Hole They Go 🐇
In case you thought Selena and Benny were going low-key for their first couples’ costume together, think again. These two chose to embody Alice in Wonderland—but make it fashion. Selena twirled into the party as Alice herself, rocking a blonde wig that looked like it could have been snatched straight from Goldilocks’ wig closet. She paired it with a sheer blue dress and, of course, topped it all off with an enormous black bow because—duh—it’s Selena. Details matter, people.
And then… there was Benny. Oh boy, Benny. This man did not come to play. Benny channeled the Mad Hatter with the enthusiasm of a theater kid who just got cast in their dream role. He painted his face ghostly white, threw on a wild red wig that screamed “I cut my own bangs, thanks for noticing,” and even slapped on some prosthetics to really seal the deal.
But the real moment? Benny slid into the comments section and described his look as: “handsome Squidward meets daddy longlegs.” And honestly? He’s not wrong. The vibes were confusing, yet oddly mesmerizing. A fever dream, but make it chic.
New Couple, Who Dis? 🥂
This is the pair’s first Halloween as a couple since confirming their relationship in December 2023, and what a way to kick things off! Forget cutesy matching outfits; these two said, “Let’s make people wonder if we’ve had too much candy—and maybe also caffeine.” Honestly, we’re obsessed.
And just to flex a little more, Selena later waltzed into Nobu in Malibu still wearing her Alice costume. You know, as one does. Imagine casually ordering sushi while dressed like a character from a Lewis Carroll novel. Selena, please—save some cool points for the rest of us!
Gallery Time! 📸
We’ve got the photos of their fantastical fits, and they are everything you could dream of—and more. Honestly, if these two aren’t invited to host next year’s Met Gala, what are we even doing here?
All in all, we can only hope that the happy couple enjoyed their Halloween as much as we enjoyed witnessing it. If this is their first Halloween, imagine what next year holds. Fingers crossed for Benny as Jack Sparrow and Selena as a pirate cat or something equally chaotic.
Stay tuned—this is a love story as whimsical as Wonderland itself.
