Selena Gomez Sparkles in Custom Prada Dresses at Rare Impact Fund Gala

Selena Gomez doubled up on custom Prada for her fourth annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit.

The “Only Murders in the Building” star, 34, hosted the youth mental health fundraiser at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, cycling through two Italian-made looks as the evening progressed. She arrived on the carpet in cherry-red satin: a strapless, curved neckline with draped peplum, all-over beading and matching crimson pumps. Inside, she slipped into a shimmering champagne column gown embroidered with multicolor crystals and sequins, its hem trimmed in swinging silver fringe.

Stylist Erin Walsh paired the red look with $15,600 Bucherer Fine Jewellery curved stud earrings, each set with more than 80 baguette- and brilliant-cut diamonds. Gomez wore diamond rings on both hands alongside her marquise engagement ring from husband Benny Blanco, who attended the event. For the second look, Bucherer’s shoulder-grazing Inner Fire earrings — 12.22 carats of diamonds — echoed the dress’s fringe.

Hairstylist Renato Campora gave Gomez a center part, slicked at the front and falling into soft waves down her back. Makeup artist Hung Vanngo created a smoky eye with glossy nude lip, while manicurist Tom Bachik painted her nails in Olive & June’s SC, a deep Bordeaux jelly red.

On the carpet, Gomez offered a simple mental health tip. “A small thing you should do a day — I would suggest feeling all the feelings you need to feel, and then go bowling or something after so you can have a good time,” she said.

The nonprofit work took a personal turn during the program. Gomez tearfully announced a new award dedicated to the late daughter of her “Only Murders in the Building” co-star Martin Short; the girl died by suicide earlier this year.

Wednesday marked another chapter in Gomez’s growing relationship with Prada. The house crafted the Cinderella-inspired baby blue gown she wore to the 2025 Golden Globes, and in April outfitted her for a Rare Beauty launch party in a cotton-candy pink satin minidress.
