Selena Gomez shows off her flawless makeup in glamorous photos as the Rare Beauty founder prepares for a star-studded night out at the Academy Museum Gala

Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez showed off her flawless makeup look as she prepared for a star-studded night out at the Academy Museum Gala.

In photos posted to her Instagram Stories, Selena looked stunning with a fresh touch of pink lip gloss, shimmering eye shadow and a touch of blush.

Her dark brown hair was combed back into an elegant bun, which further enhanced her beautiful complexion.

Selena, 31, beamed with happiness as she posed alongside boyfriend Nicola Peltz, 28, ahead of the A-list event.

The duo snapped photos at the Beverly Hills Hotel with Nicola’s husband Brooklyn Beckham, 24 – who marked their friendship ‘anniversary’ with more photos on his own account.

Beckham shared photos of them preparing to attend the gala as they posed at the iconic hotel in their glamorous attire.

“Our anniversary xx,” Beckham captioned the posts.

The photos continued on his Instagram Stories, where Beckham shared photos of him posing with both his wife and the Only Murders In The Building actress, along with a photo of Selena’s placeholder.

Nicola previously revealed that her friendship with Selena took off after they attended the Academy Gala together.

“I had met her in passing a few years ago, and then we all went to this event in September, the Academy Gala,” she said Cosmopolitan earlier this year. ‘We just hit it off and had the best time. And then we became super, super close. I feel like she is my soul sister.

‘I love her so much. She is truly one of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. The kindest person ever. Truly, her heart is gold. I feel like I’ve known her forever.’

She said her husband also got along well with Selena: “Oh my god. We say, “Yes, we are a group.” All three of us are best friends.”

“I think it’s really beautiful when you have friends in your life who encourage you,” the Welcome to Chippendales actress added. “And if I’m just walking down the street and a girl says, ‘Oh my god, I love your outfit,’ it means so much more than if a guy says it. Like, ew, whatever. But when a girl compliments you, it’s so much more special.”

The annual KNAW Museum Gala started in 2021 and aims to raise money for the museum’s exhibitions and public programming.

The event always features a red carpet so star-studded that it rivals the Academy Awards themselves, and the opening gala raised a whopping $11 million for the museum.

Several stars were also honored at the glamorous soirée, including Meryl Streep, who accepted the Icon Award, honoring an artist whose career has had a significant global cultural impact.

Michael B. Jordan won the Vantage Award, which honors an emerging artist or scholar who helps contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema.

Oprah Winfrey received the Pillar Award, which recognizes exemplary leadership and support for the Academy Museum.

Sofia Coppola was honored with the Visionary Award, which honors an artist or scientist whose innovations have advanced the art of cinema.

“We are thrilled to come together again at our third annual Academy Museum Gala to celebrate the power, global impact and indelible importance of cinema,” Jacqueline Stewart, director and president of the Academy Museum, said in a statement earlier this year declaration.

“I am truly honored to recognize four artists, Meryl Streep, Michael B. Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and Sofia Coppola, whose creativity and passion have inspired and shaped our culture in such powerful ways.”

The event was initially scheduled to take place in October, but was postponed due to the Hamas attack on Israel.

There were concerns that the Hollywood strikes would also impact the event, but that came to an end earlier this year.

The Hollywood actors’ strike finally ended last month after 118 days, capping the longest strike ever for film and television actors.

The month before the writers’ strike ended, they celebrated a new deal with a five percent pay increase, streaming bonuses, and AI protections.
