• Selena Gomez was named a billionaire in September, largely thanks to her success with Rare Beauty.
• Since then, her style has subtly shifted toward timeless fashion.
• Specifically, Gomez has adopted an all-black wardrobe featuring designers like Ralph Lauren.

Selena Gomez graced magazine covers, was nominated for two Golden Globe awards, and hosted her second Rare Impact Fund Benefit in 2024.

She also became a billionaire in September, largely thanks to the success of her massive cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty.

The actor and entrepreneur has shied away from talking about her financial achievement, saying that she's "grateful" but finds it "distasteful" to discuss money publicly.

However, her style has shifted slightly to complement her status as one of the most influential and successful businesswomen in her field.

Here's how her fashion has evolved since becoming a billionaire, from colorful minidresses to luxury ensembles.

Selena Gomez has always worn fun, feminine fashion.

Gomez, 32, might have entered the Hollywood scene as a young Disney Channel star in jeans and T-shirts.

Eventually, however, she swapped her casual looks for metallic gowns, bold cutouts, and fun, colorful minidresses.

Her style often merged classic pieces with edgy trends and crossed a wide range of aesthetics. Still, Gomez's fashion always steadily evolved with her and her career.

The multi-hyphenate star really came into her own style in 2023.

She began working with stylist Erin Walsh that year. Together, the duo experimented with flashy, skin-baring gowns, pops of red, and chic business attire.

And as Gomez approached billionaire status, she elevated her looks.

Gomez hasn't flaunted her wealth with her style — but she has embraced luxury.

In May, she attended the Cannes Film Festival to promote her film "Emilia Pérez," and she looked like a classic Hollywood star on the red carpet.

Gomez wore a black Saint Laurent gown with white, off-the-shoulder sleeves, Santoni heels, and statement diamonds from Bulgari.

Instead of colorful minidresses, she began wearing sparkling numbers in darker shades.

At the August premiere of "Only Murders in the Building," Gomez sported a $555 halter dress from Self-Portrait.

It had a lace neckline with a silver bow attached and black sparkles from top to bottom.

The chic design was an elevated version of the youthful minidresses she's worn throughout her career. Gomez completed the look with $3,264 Roger Vivier heels and Marli jewels.

Statement jewelry also became a major part of her wardrobe.

For the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Gomez donned a sparkling Rodarte gown with a halter neckline, peplum waist, and rose appliqué.

It was her jewelry, however, that stole the show. She wore a variety of Tiffany and Co. rings and dangling earrings.

Walsh described Gomez's look on Instagram as "the divine feminine."

Gomez has turned to classic American designers like Ralph Lauren for custom pieces.

At the 2024 Emmy Awards, she wore a black velvet gown with glitter-covered halter straps. The Ralph Lauren design, which was made specifically for Gomez, also had a mermaid-style skirt that pooled around her feet.

The actor amplified the classic gown with Tiffany and Co. jewels and Ralph Lauren heels.

Gomez has seemingly adopted a solid black uniform, no matter the style or designer she wears.

In September, Gomez attended the New York Film Festival. As has become customary for the actor, she wore all black.

Vera Wang custom-made the halter, scoop-neck gown for Gomez. It featured a floor-length skirt, a form-fitting bodice, and a large bow attached at the back. There were also matching over-the-elbow gloves.

Gomez wore the dress with an assortment of rings and earrings from Tiffany and Co.

Rather than wearing daring dresses, Gomez has recently opted for simple ones with intricate details.

Just look at the Schiaparelli gown she wore to the 2024 London Film Festival in October.

The velvet dress extended to the floor and had a gold-encrusted keyhole in the center of its bodice.

Baublebar jewelry and Louboutin heels completed the luxurious look.

Velvet is another key part of Gomez's billionaire wardrobe.

For the 2024 Academy Museum Gala, the Rare Beauty founder wore a custom piece from Alaïa. It had a leather bralette beneath a blue velvet gown with a deep, scooped neckline.

The fabric looked rich and timeless but also fashion-forward when paired with leather detailing and chunky silver accessories from Tiffany and Co.

Still, timeless, neutral styles are Gomez's signature.

She recently attended The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala while wearing a $585 midi dress from Self-Portrait.

The elegant piece had white ruffles across its sleeves and an off-the-shoulder neckline, which added a feminine touch to its dark fabric.

For accessories, Walsh dressed Gomez in Chopard jewels and Manolo Blahnik heels.

• Selena Gomez is engaged to Benny Blanco after a year and a half of dating.
• Gomez shared pictures of the engagement ring on Instagram on December 11.
• The two musicians have collaborated on several songs, starting in 2015 with Gomez's album "Revival."

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first collaborated on a song together in 2015. Nine years later, they are engaged.

The news comes a year and a half after Gomez and Blanco began dating and a year after they went public as a couple. The newly-engaged musicians have shared a lot of digital PDA since telling fans they were romantically involved.

Here's a detailed timeline of their relationship.

October 9, 2015: Gomez releases 'Revival,' which includes two collaborations with Blanco

Blanco has built a reputation as a sought-after pop producer, helping to create mega-hits like Kesha's 2009 breakthrough "Tik Tok" and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" in 2010.

In 2015, he was credited on two songs in Gomez's second solo album "Revival." The songs, "Same Old Love" and "Kill Em With Kindness," were both released as singles.

Gomez and Blanco are credited as cowriters on "Kill Em With Kindness," which she has described as "lyrically my favorite song" from "Revival."

At the time of the album's release, Gomez was still heavily associated with her on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber, though she was actively trying to change that narrative.

February 28, 2019: Blanco releases 'I Can't Get Enough' featuring Gomez, Tainy, and J Balvin

Blanco began making his own music in 2018. The following year, he released "I Can't Get Enough" as a stand-alone single.

The song features Gomez, who sings the lead vocal in English, and J Balvin, who sings his verse in Spanish. It was coproduced by Tainy. All four artists appear together in the music video.

Blanco promoted the song on Instagram, sharing several photos of himself cuddling with Gomez on set.

"Benny has a cool way of bringing people together, even in the weirdest ways," Gomez said in behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot.

October 26, 2020: Blanco seems to throw shade at Gomez while promoting a new song with her ex-boyfriend

Blanco started working with Bieber in 2009 and told Variety the two musicians were like "brothers." The pair worked together on hits like "Eenie Meenie," "Love Yourself," and "Cold Water."

In a 2020 interview with Zach Sang, Blanco discussed his close friendship with Bieber after he cowrote and coproduced "Lonely," the second single from Bieber's sixth album, "Justice."

"Justin's not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists," Blanco said. "Like you know, they're like, 'This is my new single and here's my makeup line.' And he's like, Justin's like, 'Yo. I have a pimple and I have anxiety today.' He's always been upfront about that stuff."

Gomez had unveiled her own makeup line, Rare Beauty, earlier that year. Fans were quick to interpret the comment as a thinly veiled insult.

At the time, representatives for Blanco did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment, nor did he publicly address the backlash.

August 25, 2023: Gomez releases 'Single Soon,' coproduced by Blanco

Gomez and Blanco teamed up again for "Single Soon," released as a standalone song.

In the music video, Gomez pays homage to Carrie Bradshaw and celebrates a boyfriend-free lifestyle.

Earlier that summer, Gomez posted a TikTok shouting her status as single to a group of football players. "I'm single, I'm just a little high maintenance," the singer said in the video.

December 2023: Gomez and Blanco become Instagram official

In late 2023, fans began to speculate that Gomez and Blanco were dating.

Gomez confirmed her romance with Blanco in her Instagram story on December 7, 2023. She shared a photo of the couple cuddling and a photo of herself wearing the letter "B" on her left ring finger.

When fan accounts picked up the news, some reacted with disappointment or concern — mostly due to Blanco's perceived insult from 2020, as well as his enduring friendship with Bieber, whom Gomez accused of emotional abuse.

Gomez replied to several negative comments on Instagram, defending Blanco and describing him as "the best thing that's ever happened to me." Although it's unclear when their relationship turned romantic, Gomez implied they'd been dating for six months.

She also addressed a critic who alluded to Blanco's "cookie-cutter" comment, saying Blanco is "still better than anyone I've ever been with."

Throughout the month, Gomez continued to post photos with Blanco on Instagram. She shared another black-and-white shot of the couple cuddling on December 12, 2023, and a photo of him kissing her cheek on December 30, 2023.

Blanco even made it onto Gomez's Instagram grid that month; he appears twice in a slideshow she posted with the caption, "New York, my favorite moments w you this week."

January 3, 2024: The couple has their first public outing at a basketball game

Blanco and Gomez sat courtside at Crypto.com Arena to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Miami Heat.

That same day, Blanco shared two snaps of Gomez in his Instagram story.

"She seems to be really feeling herself at the moment," a source close to Gomez told People. "Maybe that's Benny or maybe that's just where she's at personally and professionally."

"Everyone is so happy that she's happy," the source added.

Gomez attended the 2024 Golden Globes as a nominee; she earned a nod for best performance by a female actor in a TV series, musical or comedy, for "Only Murders in the Building."

May 24, 2024: Blanco says he didn't realize he was on a date with Gomez on their first date

Appearing on an episode of SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show," Blanco said he didn't realize his relationship with Gomez had turned romantic during their first date.

"She was like, 'Hey, you want to hang out,' and I was like, 'Yeah,' we go and we hang out," he said. "I remember sitting there, and she's like, 'Well, I would have worn something different for this date, and I was like, 'What? We're on a date?'"

Blanco said they continued hanging out and described Gomez as his "best friend."

In the interview, Blanco said he wanted to marry Gomez but hadn't planned anything yet. He also said his next goal was to have children.

July 22, 2024: Blanco shares tribute for Gomez's 32nd birthday

In the Instagram post, Blanco reshared the photo from the music video of his 2019 song "I Can't Get Enough" and shared a new photo of Gomez holding a white teddy bear.

"I used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life… happy bday bb ! i love u!" he captioned the post aluding to the music video for their collaboration back in 2019.

Gomez commented on the post: "I love you 🧸."

September 9, 2024: Gomez reacts to Blanco's comments about marriage and shares she can't have kids

During Gomez's Vanity Fair cover interview in September 2024, she was asked about Blanco's wishes to get married.

"He can't lie. After the interview, I was dying laughing. Like, 'Anything else you wanted to put out there?'" She said, adding later that neither she nor Blanco are in a rush to get married.

Later in the interview, Gomez said she plans to start a family by 35 but that she can't carry a child and would want to adopt.

"I haven't ever said this, but I unfortunately can't carry my own children," Gomez said. "I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while."

She added she's "in a much better place" about the situation."At the end of the day, I don't care. It'll be mine. It'll be my baby," she said.

November 20, 2024: Gomez says she shares so much about Blanco on social media because she sees a future with him

When asked about why she has been very public about her relationship with Blanco, Gomez told The Hollywood Reporter: "I guess this is the safest I've ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down."

Gomez was asked about Blanco again during an interview with CBS Sunday on November 30, but this time about her thoughts on Blanco's inclusion in 2024's People's Sexiest Man Alive issue.

"That's my man," Gomez said.

December 11, 2024: Gomez and Blanco get engaged

Gomez announced that she and Blanco are engaged on Instagram on Wednesday evening. She marked the engagement with a slideshow of pictures showing the ring and captioned the post: "Forever begins now…"

Fellow stars congratulated Gomez on the post, including Gomez's close friend Taylor Swift, who wrote, "Yes I will be the flower girl."

• Selena Gomez said she has a "tactic" for getting into auditions if casting directors don't think she's a fit.
• The actor told THR that she doesn't tell them in advance that she's auditioning.
• Gomez said this has been "the biggest challenge that I've faced as an actor."

Selena Gomez has been acting since she was a child and is one of the most recognizable stars to break out of Disney Channel into mainstream success — but she still has to fight to get into audition rooms and prove herself.

"If they think I'm too young for a part, or whatever the case may be, we use a tactic where we don't tell them it's me auditioning so that they just have to accept me auditioning," Gomez said in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, released Wednesday.

Gomez said that sometimes when casting directors learn that she wants to audition, they tell her that she's not fit for the project before she's even read for the part. In other instances, she's told that they're interested in hiring a lesser-known actor — but end up casting someone notable.

"But I'm not angry, it's the position I have and it's OK," Gomez said. "It just means I'm going to continue to do things that are hopefully compelling and different."

Gomez said this has been "the biggest challenge that I've faced as an actor," but she's found other workarounds for getting into auditions.

"I'll sometimes send in a tape when they don't know it's me, or if it's in person, my managers will just say, 'Oh, we have a client that'll have a read," she said. "And most of the time, they'll go, 'OK."

The actor said this trick worked for the 2016 movie "The Fundamentals of Caring," which starred Paul Rudd. Gomez said that she thought she lost out on the role immediately upon walking into the audition, but asked if she could read the lines anyway. Gomez ended up landing the role of Dot, a hitchhiker.

"You kind of have to do the dance," she said.

Gomez got her start in acting on "Barney & Friends" before her breakout role as a teen wizard-in-training named Alex Russo on Disney Channel's "Wizards of Waverly Place," which lasted for four seasons and included a 2009 TV movie.

She simultaneously began her music career while on the children's TV network. After "Wizards" ended, Gomez took on edgier roles in films like the A24 movie "Spring Breakers."

Gomez, now 32, said she's still typecast and perceived to be a fit only for certain kinds of roles that are in line with her past work, characters that are "more soft-spoken and the underdog."

"I love those movies, but I have goals of wanting to work with specific people, people on my dream board, and so whenever those opportunities arise, I'll put myself in that room, no matter what it takes," she told THR. "And I'll say, 'Let me show you that I can do it.'"

Recently, the actor earned an Emmy nomination for her performance as a true-crime podcast host and mystery solver on Hulu's "Only Murders in the Building." She also plays the wife of a cartel leader in the film "Emilia Pérez," which has been gaining awards season buzz.

"I've been very strategic and trying my hardest to pick projects that are going to be compelling and not necessarily what people would envision me doing," she said. "That's something I get a high off of."
