“She looks like Marilyn Monroe,” a fan added, praising Gomez’s hairstyle.

The singer arrived wearing a strapless black velvet gown with a white feathered bodice, created by Chanel under the direction of Matthieu Blazy.

According to fashion reports published the same day, the dress required 323 hours of work.

The actress, best known recently for her role as Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building, appeared poised as she posed for photographers, evoking a classic aesthetic for high-profile events.

But while most viewers were busy congratulating Gomez for her look, others started fixating on a completely different aspect of the gown: its silhouette.

“She looks pregnant!” a fan wrote, a comment echoed by others who dissected still images and red carpet footage.

At the same time, attention drifted toward Blanco, who stood beside Gomez in a black suit that many online critics described as “unkempt.”

Several users questioned why Gomez would appear next to someone they viewed as looking “sloppy” on one of Hollywood’s most high-profile nights, going as far as to mockingly share Beauty and the Beast and Lady and the Tramp pictures.

Blanco has long been targeted by critics for his mannerisms, physical appearance, habits, and quotes

The backlash did not emerge in a vacuum. Blanco has long been a polarizing figure among a segment of Gomez’s fanbase, particularly since the couple went public with their relationship in December 2023 and later announced their engagement in December 2024.

Over the past year, Blanco has drawn criticism for comments he made in interviews about hygiene, including admitting that he does not shower daily and prefers to let “the oils on [his] skin” build up naturally.

Similarly, in February 2025, Blanco went viral for a Valentine’s Day gesture that involved filling a marble bathtub with melted nacho cheese and creating a trail of tortilla chips leading to it as a surprise for Gomez.

For some fans, the red carpet appearance reinforced a narrative they had already formedabout Blanco

“I do not get it. He creeps me out!” a netizen added. “Out of all the men she chose him!?” another asked.

Beyond hygiene jokes, some fans have also criticized Blanco for past remarks about Gomez’s career and public image, interpreting them as dismissive or poorly worded.

For instance, in March 2024, Benny Blanco joked that Selena Gomez had been “basically retired” from music before they began working together.

The remark immediately angered fans who viewed it as minimizing her career and rewriting her success.

“Imagine dating Selena Gomez and acting like you revived her career,” one user wrote at the time. “She was selling out arenas while he was producing meme songs.”

The couple married in September 2025, and have discussed their wish to become parents one day

Despite the noise online, Gomez and Blanco appeared unfazed on the carpet, posing together as photographers captured the moment.

The couple married on September 27, 2025, tying the knot in California after nearly two years together.

Gomez confirmed the wedding herself, posting a series of photos on Instagram with the caption “9.27.25,” showing the newlyweds embracing, holding hands, and sharing quiet moments throughout the day.

In the months leading up to the wedding, the couple had openly discussed their future, including children.

Blanco said in a June 2025 interview that he wanted to be a father, adding, “I want to be a dad, though, God willing.” Gomez echoed that sentiment on multiple podcasts, saying she loved children and looked forward to that stage of life when the time came.

“Power couple.” Despite the hate, most fans were delighted to see the couple together
