Forget Oval—Selena Gomez Just Got Engaged With the Next *Huge* Engagement Ring Trend
Ever since her Wizards of Waverly Place days, Selena Gomez has had serious personal style, so when it came time for her to get engaged, her engagement ring was always going to be unique and undetermined by the wedding realm's biggest trends. Now that she has gotten engaged—Gomez's partner, Benny Blanco, proposed last night—we know exactly how different and remarkable her real-life ring is.
"Forever begins now," Gomez captioned a slideshow of Instagram photos on December 11 showcasing the proposal and her dazzling marquise-cut diamond engagement ring. "Hey wait… that's my wife," Blanco responded in the comments. The music producer did good. He selected the perfect ring, a diamond set on a yellow-gold pavé band; location, a grassy picnic; and choice of cuisine, Taco Bell. Of course, the singer and actress's nails were painted to perfection for the occasion in a barely noticeable pale pink, and she wore a cropped faux-fur jacket, Banana Republic's Icon wide-leg jeans (which just so happen to be 40% off right now), and white sneakers.
According to The Clear Cut founder Olivia Landau, elongated marquise diamonds like Gomez's are one of the most surprising cuts that she's been seeing more and more recently. Not too long ago, this shape was considered untrendy, and many future fiancés wanted oval-shaped diamonds instead, Landau told Who What Wear assistant shopping editor Ana Escalante earlier this year. However, there's been a significant rise in demand for marquise cuts, and Gomez's big news is sure to encourage even more.
The couple made their first public appearance together in December 2023, though they've been working together professionally for years. Blanco produced two of Gomez’s tracks in 2015, "Same Old Love" and "Kill Em With Kindness," and "Trust Nobody" in 2016. They also collaborated in 2019 on "I Can't Get Enough" and in 2023 on "Single Soon." That last one couldn't be further from the truth.
In addition to her future husband, many more celebrities flocked to Gomez's comment section to congratulate her on the big moment. "Congratulations beauty," Suki Waterhouse wrote. Lily Collins jumped in with "Ahhhhhhhh yes yes yes!! Best news ever. Couldn't be more happy for you both," followed by a bunch of red heart emojis. Hulu, the network Gomez's comedy series Only Murders in the Building runs on, is crying, according to the company's IG account, and Nina Dobrev is "so happy" for the couple.
