Selena Gomez continues to capitalize on her success. The actress and singer has had an enormous year, filled with personal achievements, starring in "Emilia Perez," the film with the most Oscar nominations this year, earning some of the most prestigious nominations for her work in "Only Murders in the Building" and announcing her engagement to her boyfriend Benny Blanco.
The pair shared the news of their engagement in December, and appear to have been enjoying their time together greatly, attending various events together. Gomez has also worn several bridal inspired looks, opting for creams and pastels and elegant jewelry.
Gomez was recently a guest at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she stunned in an all white look made out of an elegant mini dress with a floral detail at the hips and matching heels.
She attended the event alongside some of the lead actors and filmmakers this season, including Oscar nominees Fernanda Torres and Ariana Grande, and Angelina Jolie, who was awarded with the Maltin Modern Master Award for her career.
Gomez's dress announces the start of her 'bridal era'
Gomez looked stunning at the festival, taking photos in front of the festival's iconic marquee and rounding out her look with an off white fur coat.
Her elegant dress was designed by Magda Butrym, with Gomez elevating her look with key details, including Messika jewelry, diamond rings, and of course, her engagement ring, a gorgeous jewel that's valued at around $225,000.
"Selena Gomez's engagement ring is fitting for a talent as rare as hers, given less than 5% of diamonds are marquise," said Ann Grimmet, VP of Merchandising at Jared Jewelers, exclusively to HOLA! USA.
Capping it all off was Gomez's haircut, a long wavy bob that added her look a touch of elegance, and a simple makeup palette made up of fringed lashes and beige lipstick.
