Selena Gomez causes buzz at Emmys for new 'title' among the super-rich

According to Pagesix, Selena was welcomed by the audience when she arrived at the Peacock Theater. She wore a Ralph Lauren mermaid dress with metallic details on the halter neckline.

Emmy is the most prestigious award in the US television industry, belonging to the "big four" in the performance industry awards group, including: Oscar (cinema), Grammy (music), Tony (drama). The event was first held in January 1949, taking place annually, except in 2021 when it was not held due to the pandemic.

Selena Gomez made headlines when she became a billionaire at the age of 32 with a net worth of about $1.3 billion, thanks to the profits of her cosmetics company, according to Bloomberg. She also had success in music when her albums regularly ranked high on the Billboard charts. Some of Selena's hits include Lose You to Love Me, Hands to Myself, Good for You. Before becoming a singer, she was known for her roles in Disney films.

In addition, a series of moments at this prestigious event also created media attention. Selena Gomez appeared on stage with her Only Murders In The Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, to present the award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. The former Disney star teased her two colleagues: "I'm honored to work with two men who are not 'barren cat owners'."

The former Disney actress's statement immediately went viral and was widely shared online. Many comments suggested that Gomez was referring to Taylor Swift. Previously, the owner of The Eras Tour had called herself a "barren cat lady" in a post supporting Kamala Harris.

Gomez was accompanied to the event by her boyfriend Benny Blanco. Blanco showed affection for his girlfriend in front of the camera. Previously, Gomez shared that she could not conceive naturally due to health problems. Therefore, she and Blanco considered using a surrogate or adopting a child.

Ilona Maher, the rugby player who caused controversy at the Paris Olympics for her excess body fat, made her Emmy Awards debut. She wore a strapless black and blue velvet peplum dress, paired with earrings, rings, and bracelets. According to People, Maher is overcoming body image stereotypes to become a model. After posing for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, she will appear on Dancing with the Stars.

Vogue named Richard Gadd's win one of the seven best Emmy moments of the year. When he accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series/Series/Anthology for Baby Reindeer, he said: "Ten years ago, I was devastated and hopeless. I never thought I would ever get my life back together. And here I am, more than a decade later, receiving one of the biggest awards in television." In the past, the actor was stalked, harassed, and threatened by a journalist.

Anna Sawai is the first Japanese actress and the first Asian artist to win the prestigious Emmy Award for Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Shōgun. She gave a heartfelt and poignant speech, thanking her co-star Hiroyuki Sanada (who won for Lead Actor) for "continuing to open doors for people of Asian descent" like her.

Nicola Coughlan was praised by People for "shining like a real diamond", while Vogue said the Bridgerton star overshadowed the guests with a silver off-the-shoulder Futuristic corset-style dress with a bubble peplum on the long skirt.

This year, the Shogun series leads the pack with 25 nominations. The Greatest Night in Pop by Vietnamese-born director Bao Nguyen received three nominations, including Best Director and Best Sound Editing for a Nonfiction Film.

In addition to the works, the event also attracted attention thanks to the red carpet activities of top Hollywood stars. On this occasion, Harper's Bazaar magazine selected a series of beauties who scored points with revealing outfits over the past decade.
