Selena Gomez reunites with Emilia Perez co-star Zoe Saldana at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado
Selena Gomez reunited with her Emilia Pérez co-star Zoe Saldaña to promote their queer crime musical at the 51st Annual Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, CO on Sunday.
The 32-year-old Emmy nominee – who relies on stylist Erin Walsh – bundled up in a brown winter coat over a red-and-white-striped boatneck top, baggy blue jeans, and white sneakers despite the 70F-degree summer weather.
A glimpse at Selena’s shrinking 5ft5in figure in 2024 versus 2023 certainly sparked rumors she’s hopped aboard the trendy Ozempic train.
Hairstylist Marissa Marino coiffed Gomez’s raven locks into a rustic French braid.
Make-up artist Melissa Murdick brought out the Only Murders in the Building producer-star’s natural beauty by defining her brows and applying mascara, foundation, and blush for the special screening.
Outside the venue, Selena was swarmed by a throng of female fans asking for selfies and autographs.
Gomez beamed while interacting with her ardent fanbase as a male bodyguard towered over her from behind.
That same day, the ‘Texican’ pop star’s rumored fiancé Benny Blanco posted a most-likely couples quiz on TikTok during which they agreed on practically all of the answers despite having their eyes closed.
Selena and the 36-year-old music producer – who began dating in June 2023 – both considered the other the ‘better kisser’ with ‘better style’ but they did not answer ‘whose mother-in-law likes them more’ as they are not yet married.
Gomez said I love you first, needs the most attention, and was most likely to get arrested while Blanco (born Benjamin Levin) is the funnier one, the better cook, and he takes the longest to get ready.
The two-time Grammy nominee and the 11-time Grammy nominee had no answer for which of them starts the most arguments and which of them was the most spoiled.
Benny co-wrote and produced Selena’s 2023 song Single Soon, which peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
But Gomez – who previously dated Drew Taggart, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber – has technically been collaborating with the curly-haired musician as far back as 2015 on her second studio album Revival.
The former Disney Channel star portrays Jessi Del Monte, a transgender Mexican cartel leader’s wife, in Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language film hitting select theaters November 1 before streaming November 13 on Netflix.
Meanwhile, Zoe (born Zoë Yadira Saldaña Nazario) portrays unappreciated lawyer Rita Moro Castro in Emilia Pérez, which currently has an 88% critic approval rating (out of 41 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The half-Dominican, half-Puerto Rican 46-year-old – who relies on stylist Petra Flannery – coordinated with Selena in baggy blue jeans, a baby-blue Henley top, matching maxi-cardigan, and brown platforms.
Hairstylist Mara Roszak gave Saldaña’s highlighted locks some wave and make-up artist Vera Steimberg brought out her natural beauty.
Joining the Lioness producer-star and Gomez in Colorado on Sunday were their castmate Adriana Paz, director Jacques Audiard, and castmate Karla Sofia Gascon.
The 72-year-old French filmmaker was awarded with the Silver Medallion Tribute at Telluride on Friday night after winning the Jury Prize as well as an 11-minute standing ovation during the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Cannes also awarded the best actress prize jointly to the Rare Beauty founder, Zoe, Paz, and Gascón.
Selena is said to earn well over $600K/episode to produce and portray the Arconia resident and artist Mabel Mora in the 10-episode fourth season of the who-done-it series Only Murders in the Building, which currently airs Tuesdays on Hulu.
Gomez will next compete for the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series trophy at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, which air September 15 on ABC.
The Love On singer faces heavy competition against Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson, The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri, Loot’s Maya Rudolph, Hacks’ Jean Smart, and Palm Royale’s Kristen Wiig.
Only Murders also scored an eye-popping 21 nominations total, including outstanding comedy series.
Selena is also prepping to portray 11-time Grammy winner Linda Ronstadt in David O. Russell’s untitled biopic produced by her former manager John Boylan.
Elsewhere on the streets of Telluride, Angelina Jolie rubbed elbows with Naomi Watts as critic Leonard Maltin lurked behind them.
The 49-year-old Oscar winner was absolutely charmed by the 55-year-old Oscar nominee’s precious pooch Izzy, whom she adopted in 2020 from the LA non-profit Tobie’s Small Dog Rescue.
Izzy nearly upstaged 150lb Great Dane Bing, who co-stars with Naomi and Bill Murray in Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s drama The Friend about recovering from loss.
