Gomez, Bieber Attend Gala Amid Tension

At the Academy Museum Gala both Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez attended separately and avoided a run‑in, with Gomez making a red‑carpet return alongside husband Benny Blanco in a black Armani ensemble and Bieber in a brown Schiaparelli corset gown. Bieber also repurposed a Schiaparelli Spring/Summer 2025 couture gown on the red carpet and later wore a Jackson Wiederhoeft little black dress to a Kylie Cosmetics event. The long‑running tension between the women continues to draw attention. Insiders told outlets that Justin Bieber views Hailey’s willingness to engage in drama as a sign of loyalty and has not discouraged it. Gomez briefly posted then deleted an Instagram Story saying 'leave the girl alone,' has reportedly sought to move on and focus on her marriage and well‑being, and both women have offered comments suggesting they do not want to escalate the feud.
