Talk about a fairy tale moment straight out of an 80s teen movie!
Benny Blanco just scored ultimate boyfriend points by throwing Selena Gomez the prom night she never got to have — and fans are absolutely swooning over it.
Back in March, Benny orchestrated a prom-style photoshoot at a local mall just for Selena. She never attended prom during her teenage years, and Benny wasn’t about to let her miss out on such an iconic milestone. He went all out: renting a stretch limo, donning a classic black tux, and surprising Selena with a stunning mauve strapless ball gown complete with a chic black choker. Pure, unapologetic 80s glamour.
The adorable couple captured the night in a series of photos and a heart-melting video, with Benny gushing, “It was more fun than either of us expected it to be.” You can catch the dreamy footage here on Instagram and drool over Selena’s breathtaking prom queen look here.
This sweet prom re-creation ties into Benny’s recent 37th birthday bash, which had — you guessed it — a full prom theme! He even pinned a delicate corsage on Selena’s wrist, capturing that perfect high school sweetheart vibe. While it’s not crystal clear if the photoshoot happened the same night as the party, one thing’s for sure: Benny knows how to create memories that’ll last a lifetime.
The story, first picked up by Billboard here, has fans buzzing and filling comment sections with heart eyes. Benny Blanco is officially setting the boyfriend bar sky high, and honestly, we’re here for it.
In the age of quick romances and flash-in-the-pan flings, this old-school gesture proves that true prom magic never goes out of style!
