Hitmaker Selena Gomez<\/a> showed up to a Rare Beauty event looking gorgeous while shutting down her haters following support<\/a> from Grimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old singer and actress was all smiles while walking the red carpet for her annual charity gala, the 2025 Rare Impact Fund Benefit, held on October 29 in Los Angeles.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gomez wore a purple mini-dress with a matching shawl as she greeted guests and posed for photos, marking one of her most high-profile appearances of the year.<\/p>\n

The evening brought together supporters of the Rare Impact Fund, which aims to ensure young people have access to mental health care, stigma-free community support, and culturally responsive resources that take into account their unique experiences and backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Kimmel served as host for the night, while indie band The Mar\u00edas performed. Ahead of the event, Gomez expressed her gratitude in a statement, \u201cThis night is a celebration of how far we\u2019ve come and a powerful reminder of how much more we can do together. I\u2019m incredibly grateful to Jimmy and The Mar\u00edas for joining me in shining a light on youth mental health. Their support means the world \u2014 not just to me, but to millions of young people this work touches around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTry to imagine the mental fortitude she presumably has,\u201d she wrote, asking how people could fail to \u201cutterly morally castigate someone\u201d who keeps a viral post up for \u201cclout at the expense of everybodies mental health. “How do u think little girls feel reading stuff like this about another woman?\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Gomez, who has lupus, has long been open about her health and how it affects her body. \u201cI have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues, and for me, that\u2019s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff,\u201d she said in a 2019 interview with friend Raquelle Stevens on Giving Back Generation.<\/p>\n

Grimes continued her defense, adding, \u201cIt shud not be ok to do high school level bullying. Accounts shud be suspended for body shaming en masse.\u201d She also emphasized, \u201cThis is disturbing – in part because it\u2019s not even true if u actually watch this video.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Dark appears on Netflix’s<\/a> Nobody Wants This Season 2: The Soundtrack, marking Gomez\u2019s first music release since her March collaboration I Said I Loved You First with husband Benny Blanco.<\/p>\n

Grimes concluded her remarks in saying, \u201cI\u2019m not even in the business of knowing what celebrities do,\u201d she wrote, adding that the Internet has become \u201cunhealthy as f\u2014\u2014\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

She called the normalization of body-shaming \u201cculture death – not just for the Selena or the writer but everyone who sees this and engages with this level of dehumanization.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hitmaker Selena Gomez showed up to a Rare Beauty event looking gorgeous while shutting down her haters following…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108445,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[1244,2003,430,516,156,8231,78089,57518,111,139,69,65944,1999],"class_list":{"0":"post-108444","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-beauty","9":"tag-benny-blanco","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-elon-musk","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-event","14":"tag-grimes","15":"tag-haters","16":"tag-new-zealand","17":"tag-newzealand","18":"tag-nz","19":"tag-rare-beauty","20":"tag-selena-gomez"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108444","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108444"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108444\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108445"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108444"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108444"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108444"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
