Gomez Raises $600K Amid Rare Beauty Controversy

Selena Gomez hosted the third annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles on Oct. 29, 2025, raising more than $600,000 to support youth mental health. The gala, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel with performances by Laufey and The Marías, raised funds for the Rare Impact Fund (launched in 2020), which supports dozens of nonprofits reaching millions of young people worldwide. Gomez arrived in a hand‑dyed mauve/purple Danielle Frankel minidress styled by Erin Walsh, changed into a burgundy/maroon minidress onstage, and was joined by husband Benny Blanco; Effy diamond jewelry and custom satin pumps completed her looks. Her early‑2000s‑inspired beauty look drew mixed reaction online, and the evening unfolded amid a separate controversy after an alleged Rare Beauty model publicly accused Gomez of making "degrading" comments.
