Forget florals for spring. Selena Gomez is making a case for flower-inspired outfits in the fall.

  • Selena Gomez wore three floral outfits to the Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
  • She first arrived wearing a custom Valentino gown that sparkled and featured a rose embellishment.

Florals for spring might not be groundbreaking, but they're perfect for fall red carpets, according to Selena Gomez.

The actor, musician, and beauty brand founder hosted the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday night.

The gala — attended by celebrities like Martin Short, Taylor Lautner, and Francia Raisa — helped raise money in support of Gomez's Rare Impact Fund, which aims to expand mental-health services for young people and reduce associated stigmas.

When she first arrived on the red carpet, the Rare Beauty founder donned a custom Valentino dress that was covered in silver sparkles, round crystals, and a fabric rose that connected its bodice to its halter neckline.

Shortly after, Gomez changed into a shorter number designed by Rahul Mishra.

"The look aims to imitate the petals of an Iris flower through intricate hand embroidery," Mishra wrote on Instagram. "The design originates in our Couture Fall 2023 collection 'We, The People,' that is an ode to our fashion workers who articulate the looks at our atelier."

And for her final look of the evening, Gomez changed into a shorter, darker minidress.

Designed by Monse, the black dress had long sleeves, a high-neck bodice, and a surrealist print that featured a zebra, butterfly, and multiple flowers. It retails for $1,090.

Last night's looks followed another floral ensemble that Gomez recently wore at the MTV Video Music Awards.

She walked the red carpet in early September wearing a daring red gown with subtle floral details designed by Oscar de la Renta.

For both the VMAs and the Rare Impact Fund Benefit, Gomez was styled by Erin Walsh.

And on both nights, Gomez played into the floral appliqué trend that's taken celebrity style by storm in 2023.

As Vogue reported in April, standard floral prints have all but been replaced with 3D flower embellishments — think statement flowers on dress bodices and smaller ones attached to choker necklaces.

If Gomez's recent looks are any indication, the trend is still going strong.
