Selena Gomez never disappoints!

The Only Murders in the Building star, 34, brought serious glamour to the 2026 Emmys in a strapless gold mirrorball gown, looking like a literal award at the starry Sept . 14 red carpet.

Completing her structured and dazzling ensemble, Gomez wore her hair in romantic waves and looked radiant with peachy-pink makeup with bold blush.

Although it appeared that Gomez walked the carpet without her husband Benny Blanco, the couple, who tied the knot on Sept. 27, 2025, posed for sweet PDA-filled photos on the step and repeat before heading inside for the ceremony, which is hosted by Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay. Her role marks the first time a woman has hosted the ceremony solo in 15 years.

Gomez is nominated alongside Martin Short, Steve Martin and the rest of the Only Murders cast for Outstanding Comedy Series. Short, who plays Oliver Putnam in the show, earned a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Last year, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum turned heads at the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards in a bold red floor-length Louis Vuitton halter gown featuring a high neckline that extended down in a sweeping floor-length train accentuating the open back of her dress.

Her hair was tied into a slicked-back updo to display her dazzling Tiffany & Co. earrings, which also coordinated with her hand jewelry, including more Tiffany & Co. pieces. She finished her look with strappy Santoni heels.

Meanwhile, Blanco looked dashing in an all-black look consisting of a suit and beaded mock neck top. He also wore a yellow gold Audemars Piguet timepiece.

Gomez revealed in an Instagram post shared the morning after last year’s ceremony that her music producer partner staged a romantic, candlelit surprise for her at home.

In one of the pictures, Gomez smiled with arms outstretched as she stood by her swimming pool surrounded by lit candles. The actress wore a ruched gray Louis Vuitton gown and styled her hair in a sleek bun.

“Grateful for all these people forever and always. Came home to a surprise my baby put together ☺️,” Gomez wrote in the caption, as Blanco sweetly responded in the comment section, “I win an award every night (you).”
