Selena Gomez looks incredible in fresh hair extensions and glittery gold gown at Emmy Awards 2026

Selena Gomez may have missed out on an individual Emmy Award nomination, but she certainly looked like a winner on the red carpet.The 34-year-old actress – who recently offloaded a $5.4 million LA mansion – showed off fresh new extensions as she turned heads in a shining gold gown as she arrived for television’s biggest night.Gomez looked statuesque in the metallic strapless Louis Vuitton gown which hugged her curves and featured a tiled design.She also opted to pass on her usual slick back hair look that she usually sports on award shows as she let her hair down complete with extensions as they were styled into waves that flowed down her shoulders.The multihyphenate donned a pair of dangling diamond-encrusted earrings as she accentuated her porcelain skin with natural, complementary make-up topped off with a swipe of pink lip.Gomez did not receive a nomination for her work in Only Murders in the Building but the highly-popular Hulu series did receive a nod in the coveted Outstanding Comedy Series category.
