Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are going down the rabbit hole this Halloween.
On Saturday (Oct. 26), the “Single Soon” singer took to social media to show off photos of her and boyfriend Blanco’s whimsical Alice in Wonderland-inspired costumes.
“Curiouser and curiouser..,” the Only Murders in the Building star captioned the gallery on Instagram.
In the snapshots, the Rare Beauty founder, 32, appears in a blonde wig and light blue dress as Alice and the music producer and songwriter, 36, is decked out in full makeup as Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s 2010 movie adaptation of the book.
“my prosthetics r giving handsome squidward meets longlegs,” Blanco wrote in the comments section of Gomez’s post.

The couple also shared more snapshots of their impressive fantasy outfits on their Instagram Stories. Gomez posted a clip from Disney’s 1951 animated film version of Alice in Wonderland, which closely resembled her Halloween outfit. And Blanco shared short videos from what appeared to be a Halloween party.
One of his Instagram Story posts show a video of Gomez seated at a table while the two are eating dinner. “It’s a video,” he says to Gomez, who seemingly thinks she’s posing for a photo. “Why do you always do that to me?” she replies with a smile.
The couple has been dating for more than a year now, with Gomez announcing their relationship in December and revealing that they’d been dating for six months at that point. Before upgrading to her necklace, the pop star often wore a letter “B” ring on her finger.
Before they got together, Blanco and Gomez were friends and collaborators. In 2019, they teamed up with Tainy and J Balvin for the song “I Can’t Get Enough” — as referenced in the producer’s adorable birthday post for his girlfriend this year — and Blanco worked on the pop star’s 2023 hit “Single Soon.”
“It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice,” Blanco marveled to the Wall Street Journal earlier this year. “And then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love.’”

Dion — who opened the Colosseum with her first residency in 2003 — appeared to be seated beside her sons, Nelson and Eddy Angélil, who offered comfort to their mother following the touching encounter.
This isn’t the first time Adele and Dion have crossed paths in Sin City. In 2018, Adele attended Celine’s second residency at the same venue. In an Instagram post at the time, the “My Heart Will Go On” artist expressed her appreciation after meeting Adele backstage at the performance.

“Wasn’t able to do all my shows, but was thrilled that Adele came to one of them… I love her so much!!” Dion wrote in a since-deleted post.
Adele also shared her excitement after meeting Dion. “Queen Celine! What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you so much for the attention to your crowd and insane humor. Happy New Year lady x,” the “Hello” hitmaker wrote on Instagram.
Her Weekends With Adele runs through late November. Earlier this year, Adele stated that she will take a lengthy break from music after the residency concludes in the fall.

When Jin named his new solo track “I’ll Be There,” he didn’t do so lightly. According to the BTS star, he genuinely wants to give his listeners comfort, starting with the lead single from his upcoming album Happy.
In a new video interview with Dolby Atmos shared exclusively with Billboard, the 31-year-old South Korean singer explains that he wrote his new song — which dropped Friday (Oct. 25) — with the hope of “providing happiness” to his fanbase. “When ARMY feel tired and lonely, I hope this song gives them strength,” Jin says in the clip.
“I have a very clear idea of what kind of emotions I want to share with our fans,” the performer continues. “I want our fans, our ARMY, to be happy.”

The interview comes as part of Jin’s new partnership with Dolby Atmos in honor of his new solo music. The “Super Tuna” artist also filmed an alternative music video with the audio technology company — which Billboard exclusively premieres below — featuring Jin driving a convertible through swirling, colorful lights, performing “I’ll Be There” in a futuristic glass room, flirting with a few actresses on set and dancing with a group of people in an airport.
Jin also dropped a standard music video for “I’ll Be Alright” Friday, just a few weeks ahead of the Nov. 15 release of his debut solo album, Happy. In his new interview, the star revealed that — much like “I’ll Be Alright” — the songs on the six-track LP “have choruses that everyone can sing along to.”
“It’s a song that will put a smile on your face,” he added of his new single. “I hope to spread those feelings to my fans because they give me so much energy, laughter and joy.”
Jin’s album will make him the final member of BTS to release a solo LP, following previous projects from Jung Kook, Jimin, V, SUGA, RM and J-Hope. The group’s full-band activities are currently on pause as five of the members finish their mandatory military service, which Jin was the first to complete in June followed by RM earlier this month.
