Just Selena Gomez and her girls.
The “It Ain’t Me” singer celebrated her upcoming nuptials to Benny Blanco (real name Benjamin Levin) with a bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, surrounded by her closest girlfriends including Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, Courtney Lopez, Connar Franklin Carpenter and her cousin Priscilla DeLeon, and she just gave fans a peek into her fun-filled weekend as a bride-to-be.
Selena shared a slew of photos and videos from her bachelorette on Instagram Aug. 28, during which she wore a bunch of bride-ready white ensembles, including a long-sleeved mini dress adorned in floral embellishments, a white bikini under a white cover-up and a pearl-adorned halter mini-dress that she paired with a veil that said “bride to be” on it.
Activities included candlelit dinners, laying out on the beach, watching the movie Wedding Crashers, a drink-filled yacht day and lots of dancing.
And Selena’s pals didn’t hold back when it came to decorating their temporary bachelorette pad with nods to the Only Murders in the Building actress’ bride status.
In addition to lots of white balloons, including some that spelled out “BRIDE” above her bed and silver ones that said “MRS LEVIN,” they also appeared to create custom “S+B” merch for the occasion and at one point they were shown waving cutouts of Benny’s face.
And the “Who Says” hitmaker’s friends showed their love for Selena in the comments, too, by sharing how much fun they had.
Her cousin Priscilla wrote, “Still recovering. The best time,” while Connar commented, “The prettiest bride to be there ever was… loved celebrating you.” She also reposted some of Selena’s photos to her Instagram Stories and called it “the most special trip celebrating our girl.”
Benny gave the celebratory affair his seal of approval, too, by commenting with a heart eyes emoji, a tear face emoji and a red heart emoji.
In fact, the music producer seemed to celebrate his bachelor party the same weekend with several big meals and a spa day at Resorts World in Las Vegas.
He shared a few photos from his food-filled extravaganza on his Instagram Stories and wrote, “I’ll never forget this weekend.”

The Wedding Date
Haven’t received your invitation to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco‘s wedding yet? Baby, calm down, calm down.
While Ed Sheeran suggested in a May lie detector test for Vanity Fair that he’d already been invited, Benny has insisted he and Selena haven’t finalized a date.
“I was like, ‘I’m going to have a wedding, and you’re going to come to the wedding,'” Benny explained in a June interview for Australia’s Today show. “I guess literally newspapers take things out of context and stuff. Eventually Ed will come to our wedding when we do have one, but unfortunately, we have not scheduled one yet—but we will.”
And who says the couple needs to get married right away?
“I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head,” Benny added in a March interview with Rolling Stone. “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people. We’re still not over this moment.”
The Star-Studded Guest List
Ed won’t be the only celebrity on the guest list. And you probably don’t need to go round and round trying to guess who else Selena and Benny will invite.
After the pair announced their engagement in December 2024, Taylor Swift offered her services.
“Yes,” the 14-time Grammy winner and Selena’s longtime pal wrote on Instagram, “I will be the flower girl.”
The Speeches
Of course, we can’t forget about Steve Martin and Martin Short.
When Drew Barrymore suggested that Selena’s Only Murders in the Building costars officiate the ceremony, the bride-to-be replied, “Oh my gosh! I haven’t even thought about that.”
However, she had given some thought to other potential roles.
“Marty is due to give a speech,” Selena continued on the April episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “I told him he must. Steve will probably pull out his banjo, but I feel like Marty would have an epic speech.”
The Music
While fans already know Selena and Benny love each other like a love song, they might be wondering what actual tracks the two will play on their big day. And given the singer and the music producer’s careers, it’s no surprise they’re making the tunes a priority.
“We’re definitely not planning exactly at this moment, but we do want to make sure that the music’s good,” Selena shared on a March episode of The Tonight Show. “And I’m gonna let that be his job.”
The Cake
When it comes to dessert, the actress doesn’t have that same old love for a multi-tiered cake.
“Whenever that day comes, I do know I don’t want a big cake,” Selena said in a July TikTok video for her brand Rare Beauty. “I think I’d want a mini one for just us that we can freeze.”
Instead, she’d rather serve a different option and tell her guests, when you’re ready, come and get it.
“My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy,” Selena continued. “My nana’s biscuits and gravy, that sounds like dessert to me.”
The First Dance
A first dance is hardly a rare tradition, but it’s one Selena seems comfortable skipping.
“I don’t think we’re looking at having one of those,” the Wizards of Waverly Place alum said on an April episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. “Cause they’re a little…”
When Benny noted Selena gets shy, she acknowledged, “I feel embarrassed.”
But that doesn’t mean the Emilia Pérez star will stay completely off the dance floor. In fact, she said she’d like to “have a special dance with my papa.”
“He’s my mom’s father,” Selena said, referencing mother MandyTeefey, who eloped with Brian Teefey in 2006. “He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle because, good for my mom, she decided to go to Vegas and be like, ‘Whooo’ and she’s still been with him ever since they were 26. So it’s very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give him an opportunity.”
