Selena Gomez skipped the 2024 Grammys despite being in Los Angeles
Selena Gomez made a rare public appearance alongside boyfriend Benny Blanco at the Gucci Grammys after-party at Chateau Marmont on Sunday.
Despite skipping the main show at Crypto.com Arena, the 31-year-old Disney star stepped out with Blanco, 35, who sported a brightly-colored crochet tracksuit.
Other notable attendees included Ed Sheeran, Jessica Simpson, and Ashlee Simpson with husband Evan Ross.
Jessica Simpson turned heads in a stunning floor-sweeping red gown with a plunging neckline, highlighting her figure.
Meanwhile, Ashlee opted for leggy glamour, donning a thigh-skimming black mini dress with a black suit worn sans an undershirt.
Selena and Benny were first linked in 2019 when they collaborated on the track I Can't Get Enough.
Selena, who had previous high-profile relationships with stars like Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, confirmed her relationship with Blanco through an Instagram post in December 2023.

Why Selena Gomez skipped 2024 Grammys?
Selena Gomez skipped the 2024 Grammys despite being in Los Angeles, citing the lack of nominations as the reason for her absence.
The singer, who has been teasing an upcoming upbeat album, recently hinted at a potential shift from music to focus on acting after her next release.
According to reports she said, "I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting [if asked to pick between it and music]"
Gomez, who found success as a musician unexpectedly, expressed the desire to settle on one pursuit as she gets older.
Despite having received two Grammy nominations in the past, Gomez emphasized that she wasn't seeking accolades but aiming to prove herself in the music industry.
