Selena Gomez’s 2026 Glow-Up: From Golden Globes Glam to Bronze Beauty Trends and Married Life Bliss
Selena Gomez is having a moment in January 2026, and it’s easy to see why. Fresh off her standout appearance at the 83rd Annual Golden Globes on January 11, the actress, singer, and Rare Beauty founder is radiating confidence, style, and joy.
Nominated for Best Female Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her role in Only Murders in the Building, Selena turned heads on the red carpet in a custom black Chanel gown featuring an elegant white feathered off-the-shoulder neckline.
The Old Hollywood-inspired look, complete with a sleek bob and subtle glam, perfectly captured her poised yet approachable vibe.
What made the night even sweeter? She was accompanied by her husband, Benny Blanco, whom she married in a dreamy Santa Barbara ceremony in September 2025.
The couple shared affectionate moments throughout the evening—kisses on the carpet, cozy poses, and that unmistakable newlywed glow.
Instead of hitting the glitzy after-parties, they opted for a low-key dinner with Selena’s co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, as she shared on her Instagram Stories.
It’s a refreshing glimpse into their grounded relationship amid Hollywood’s spotlight. Selena has described married life as “such a dream so far,” and their easy chemistry at the Globes only reinforces that.
Beyond the awards buzz, Selena’s business empire is expanding in a big way. Rare Beauty, her inclusive makeup brand launched in 2020 to promote self-acceptance and mental health through the Rare Impact Fund, is rolling out nationwide at Ulta Beauty starting February 1, 2026.
This marks the brand’s first major retail expansion beyond Sephora, making fan-favorite products like the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush and Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick accessible in over 1,500 stores.
The launch includes exclusive kits and a special donation partnership: from February 1–28, 50% of in-store checkout donations will support the Rare Impact Fund and Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation.
Tying into this excitement is the recent debut of the Warm Wishes Soft Matte Powder Bronzer, which has sparked a viral “toasty glam” trend. Selena celebrated with a full bronze moment—bronzed skin, smoky eyes, metallic lip, and a matching bronze manicure that feels like summer in the middle of winter.
Her tank-top selfies and effortless styling (think Jacquemus and Tiffany & Co.) have fans buzzing about incorporating warm tones into their routines, with celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Bella Hadid echoing the bronzed vibe on recent red carpets.
Even in downtime, Selena keeps it real. Just days after the Globes, she posted a natural, makeup-free selfie captioned with a casual “Breakfast for dinner after the Globes,” showing her grounded side amid the glamour.
At 33, Selena’s evolution is inspiring. From her Disney days to a multifaceted career in acting, music, producing, and entrepreneurship, she’s overcome personal challenges with mental health advocacy and authenticity at the forefront.
In 2026, she’s not just trending—she’s thriving as a symbol of self-acceptance, warm effortless style, and balanced success.
With more Only Murders episodes ahead and potential new music on the horizon, Selena Gomez proves that embracing who you are leads to the best glow-up yet. Whether you’re swiping on bronzer or cheering her personal happiness, her journey feels like one worth following.
