Selena Gomez’s ‘Controlling’ Gesture Toward Benny Blanco at Their Wedding Revealed by Body Language Expert
For “Calm Down” singer Selena Gomez, her wedding day to Benny Blanco in Santa Barbara radiated joy — a barefoot skip across the lawn, a shimmering satin gown, and a carousel of photos shared with millions online.
The bride stunned in a custom hand-draped halter-neck dress embroidered with delicate detail, while Blanco chose a sleek Ralph Lauren tuxedo. Gomez, 33, captioned her Instagram post simply: “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.”
Her happiness leapt from every frame — beaming smiles, playful gestures, and candid laughter. Yet, according to body language expert Judi James, their photos told a deeper story.
