Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco kicked off their wedding weekend Friday evening with a star-studded rehearsal dinner at a mansion in Hope Ranch, Goleta Valley, Calif.
“Only Murders in the Building” stars Steve Martin and Martin Short were spotted arriving at the lavish 1,863-acre estate, looking sharp in suits.
In another photo obtained by Page Six, Martin, 80, was seen laughing and chatting with fellow Hulu co-star Paul Rudd while guests gathered nearby at a long table set with wine glasses and water.
Short, 75, attended without Meryl Streep — whom he has been reportedly dating — after she had to bow out of the wedding weekend, a source recently told the Daily Mail.
Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, hosted their rehearsal dinner at a mansion in California’s Hope Ranch.
Page Six confirmed that one A-lister, 76, was unable to attend because they were filming a scene at Dolce & Gabbana’s fashion show in Milan for the upcoming Devil Wears Prada sequel.
Taylor Swift reportedly joined the outdoor fête on Friday, though paparazzi did not capture a clear image of the pop superstar, 35. Swift — a close friend of Gomez — is expected to attend the main wedding as well, having been spotted arriving in Santa Barbara, Calif., earlier Friday to make it to the event.
Page Six also reported exclusively that the Grammy winner will be staying in a rental home near the wedding venue for security reasons.
So far, images of Gomez, 33, and Blanco, 37, at their rehearsal dinner have not surfaced online.
Swift — seen at the airport hiding under umbrellas — will be staying at a private rental home for security reasons.
The couple is set to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony Saturday at a private estate in Santa Barbara, according to The Sun.
Guests — with the exception of Swift — are reportedly staying at the El Encanto Hotel, where $3,500-a-night rooms are booked for the entire wedding weekend.
“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” an insider told the outlet.
“Everyone is so excited despite the mystery; they know it will be an amazing time.”
Guests are expected to stay nearby at the El Encanto Hotel throughout the wedding weekend.
The update comes nearly a month after the former Disney Channel star enjoyed her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in August.
Gomez shared a carousel of photos from the luxurious yacht celebration with friends, including longtime pals Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook, and Courtney Lopez.
In one photo, the “Love You Like a Love Song” singer wore a backless pearl halter dress paired with a white veil reading “Bride to Be” in cursive, along with a white bikini.
Gomez first confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, revealing that they had been secretly dating for six months.
After more than a year together, Blanco officially proposed to the “Only Murders in the Building” star last December.
“Forever begins now,” Gomez captioned a carousel of photos showing off her diamond engagement ring at the time.
