Selena Gomez delivered a masterclass in wedding glam, starting with her Old Hollywood-style bob.
Gomez, 33, turned to Joico hair artist Renato Campora, who styled her tresses into a chic bob for her Saturday, September 27, wedding to Benny Blanco.
“In preparing Selena Gomez’s hair for a celebration of joy, unity, and love, every detail had to be perfect.” Campora said in a press release shared with Us Weekly after the couple’s nuptials. “To ensure a flawless foundation, I began by washing her hair twice with Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo, followed by a 30-minute treatment with the Joico Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque. This powerful combination resets the hair by removing buildup and thoroughly cleansing the hair.”
Campora noted that his treatment helps create hair “that’s primed to absorb essential nutrients, reduce frizz, enhancing moisture, shine, strength and protection from heat styling.”
Next, Campora towel-dried Gomez’s hair and carefully sectioned it off before combing her locks into a deep side part.
“Using a rat-tail comb, I created a deep side part and transitioned back to the nape of the neck, where I sectioned the hair into two-inch sections,” he explained. “Each section is treated with Joico JoiWhip Design Foam from roots to ends, then blow-dried with a large round brush and pinned to set and cool. I continued this technique across the entire head to achieve a voluminous and polished base. Once cooled, the hair is noticeably shiny, bouncy and full of life.”
To style Gomez’s mane, Campora used a three-quarter-inch spring curling iron to create a marcel wave pattern and pinned each curl to cool and hold its shape.
“After all curls have cooled for 20 minutes, I removed the pins and gently brush through each section to blend the waves together. Special attention is given to the face-framing pieces, which are shaped to highlight and enhance the facial structure,” Campora said, adding he finished her look with Joico’s unreleased Hold Hero High Hold & Shine Boosting Finishing Spray to ensure the look would remain perfect throughout the evening.
“The final result [was] a flawless, timeless [and] healthy-looking Hollywood Glamour Marcel Wave Bob for a day that celebrates love, beauty and perfection,” Campora concluded.
Gomez’s elegant bob complemented her white wedding gown. She stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren halter dress with diamond earrings and rings from Tiffany & Co.
Ahead of her star-studded ceremony, a source exclusively told Us Weekly, “She wants to be the first one to post her bridal look before she walks down the aisle.”
Another source also gave Us some details ahead of the couple’s nuptials, sharing that their rehearsal dinner was held on Friday, September 26.
“It will be a huge, A-list, star-studded wedding planned by Mindy Weiss,” the insider said, noting that Taylor Swift and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costars Martin Short and Ashley Park will be in attendance, along with Paris Hilton.
The source added, “Guests still do not know exact locations for the rehearsal or the wedding.” Instead of sharing the location, shuttle buses will pick attendees up at their hotels and take them to events.
Gomez announced her engagement to Blanco, 37, via Instagram in December 2024. She shared a zoomed-in photo of her dazzling ring, which featured a boulder of a marquise diamond set on a gold band with more diamonds.
At the time, Jared Jewelers expert and VP of Merchandising Ann Grimmett told Us that the main diamond is estimated to be six carats. The jeweler added that the ring is “rare, given that less than five percent of diamonds are marquise,” and estimated the eye-catching rock to be worth $225,000.
The cut of the diamond dates back to the 18th century when King Louis XV of Paris had his jeweler design a diamond in the shape of his mistress’ lips.
Gomez and Blanco went Instagram official with their relationship in December 2023, when the singer commented that the music producer is “absolutely everything in [her] heart.”
“He has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” she gushed.
The couple met in 2015 and worked together on a number of her hits, including “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love.”
Years later, in 2023, they posed next to each other at Hilton’s birthday party, which sparked romance rumors. Shortly after, she confirmed their relationship.
