In this captivating narrative, we delve into the glamorous world of Selena Gomez, a woman who has masterfully navigated her way through the intricate tapestry of stardom with grace and unwavering determination. Her latest venture, a fundraising event for her Rare Impact fund, raised an impressive $7 million earlier this year, adding yet another milestone to her already illustrious career.


During a speech at her 2nd annual Rare Impact Fund event in Los Angeles on Thursday evening, Selena Gomez momentarily faltered with her words.

The 32-year-old Monte Carlo actress was on stage introducing a woman named Didi as ‘Diddy.’

The brunette immediately apologized to the audience saying ‘I am so sorry!’

10 years back, Diddy was reportedly connected with his former boyfriend Justin Bieber, as they were known to attend parties together during the time when Diddy was hosting his well-known gatherings.

Currently, Diddy is incarcerated following his apprehension and accusation of coercion and intimidation related to suspected sex trafficking activities.

Additionally, during the same gathering, it was noticeable that Gomez was affectionately close to her present partner, music producer Benny Blanco.

In 2020, a former star of the Disney Channel started a charitable organization and introduced her cosmetics brand, Rare Beauty at Sephora. This move propelled her to become a billionaire by the year 2024.

The objective behind the Rare Impact Fund is to gather a total of $100 million, which will be used worldwide to enhance the availability of mental health resources and educational opportunities for young individuals.

At the yearly fundraising event held in Los Angeles, Gomez gracefully walked down the red carpet wearing a fashionable, one-shouldered blue dress.

The fitted frock hugged the Emilia Perez star’s tiny waist and showed off her toned legs.

Gomez walked around Nya Studios WEST, where the event was held, in sexy black patent leather heels.

Her cropped brunette hair was styled in soft curls that framed her heart-shaped face.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d say I donned a seductive, warm-toned smoky eye in rich brown hues, accentuated it with a soft, natural matte nude lipstick, and added a vibrant, youthful peach blush to my cheekbones.

The second yearly Rare Impact Fund Charity Event was officially set for October, as announced in a press release, promising an exciting night filled with famous stars, live entertainment, and unique performances.

Refreshments will be provided prior to a live auction, with proceeds supporting the charity’s worldwide goals.

Gomez expressed great enthusiasm about organizing this year’s Rare Impact Fund Benefit, taking place in Los Angeles, as a follow-up to the successful launch event from last year,” translates to a simpler and more natural paraphrase of the original statement.

Embracing mental health advocacy and advancing the mission of the Rare Impact Fund has transformed into my lifelong commitment. I could not embark on this journey without the unwavering support of those who stand by me.

She gratefully expressed her thanks to the amazing friends and benefactors who wholeheartedly back our projects, she finished off.

As stated in the announcement, the Rare Impact Fund is presently aiding 26 youth mental health organizations spread over five continents. These organizations can be found in various locations such as the U.S., Canada, the UK, wider Europe, India, Brazil, and Australia.

Since her diagnosis with bipolar disorder in 2018, Gomez has openly discussed her personal battles with mental health issues.

She received a diagnosis following her admission to a treatment facility, having sought help due to psychotic episodes, mania, and depressive spells that occurred during her Revival tour.

In her highly regarded Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me (2022), Gomez openly admitted, ‘To be completely truthful, I wasn’t keen on visiting a mental health facility.’

Instead of resisting, I found myself yearning for a change because I felt confined within the walls of my own thoughts and self. I feared that my existence had come to an end; I believed, My days would be forever entwined in this same monotony.

Initially given too much medication, Gomez sought assistance from another psychiatrist who eventually found the most effective treatment for her.

Gomez found that managing her mental well-being and enhancing her life was personally empowering, leading her to become passionately committed to promoting mental health awareness.

Earlier this month on Mental Health Day, Gomez collaborated with Sephora by contributing profits from her Rare Beauty collection to the Rare Impact Fund.

As an ardent advocate for mental health awareness, I wholeheartedly affirm that the ongoing mental health crisis hits our younger generation particularly hard. Remarkably, allies such as Sephora are pivotal players, not just by embracing this cause, but by pouring essential resources to broaden the reach of mental health services for those who desperately require them. This is the message I passionately convey in my statement.

Rather than giving one percent of its earnings straight away, Rare Beauty additionally gathers funds through contributions from individuals, corporations, their community, and various charitable groups.

It is believed Rare Beauty’s net sales in 2023 totaled at around $350 million.

This year, Gomez organized a unique gathering for her Rare Impact foundation, which ultimately managed to gather $7 million for the designated purpose.

Gomez was joined at Thursday’s benefit gala by a slew of close friends and stars.

She posed up with Elyse Cohen, who is the Vice President of Social Impact and Inclusion at Rare Beauty. 

The Colombian singer, Karol G, made an entrance to remember as she stepped out wearing a striking, long, burgundy gown without straps.

The tight, sparkling dress accentuated the singer’s hourglass figure and revealed her legs by means of a bold split up the thigh.

Karol, 33, wore her bleach blonde hair sleek and straight for LA event.

She and Gomez looked thrilled to be reunited as they put on an animated display for photographers. 

Next to arrive was R&B singer Teddy Swims, who would be performing for attendees with Karol G.

32-year-old native of Georgia was joined by his captivating partner, Raiche Wright, whom he’s been dating since March 2024.

For Gomez’s starry event, Swims rocked a casual-cool getup that showed off his tattoos. 

At an exclusive gathering in Los Angeles, Billy Crudup, known for his role in Almost Famous, donned a smart navy blue jacket, trousers of the same color, and a crisp white dress shirt.

Missing from his side was his wife Naomi Watts. 

Gomez’s occasion takes place during the bustling promotional period for her upcoming movie titled Emilia Perez, and her role in it has generated whispers of an Oscar nomination.

A French musical in the Spanish language narrates the story of a drug lord, Karla Sofía Gascón, who undergoes a transformation in their gender identity.

Recently, she shared with E! News that the ongoing discussions about her possibly receiving an Academy Award nomination for her portrayal of the drug lord’s eccentric wife have caused her feelings of unease.

The girlfriend of Benny Blanco expressed her uncertainty about the future, revealing her stress as she mentioned experiencing skin issues.

This comes after she said her Emilia Perez co-stars helped her to feel ‘safe’ on set.

In the movie, she is required to perform an energetic dance on a bed, confront the husband of her late drug lord “aunt”, and share a passionate kiss with her former protector.

In the comedy-drama movie, she was joined by Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon, and it’s been confessed that a deep connection formed between her and her fellow actors.

During the shoot, when asked if they developed a sisterhood, Selena replied to ‘Extra’ saying, “Absolutely, one hundred percent! These women aren’t just brave and powerful; they are caring and they instilled a sense of safety within me.

Regardless of how chaotic situations might be, it was comforting to know they were there to support me if necessary. They are incredibly skilled, so I had to match their caliber and strive to reach their level.
