Selena Gomez's husband Benny Blanco has unveiled a dramatic new hairstyle that has everyone talking. The 38-year-old music producer appeared on the latest episode of Complex's YouTube series GOAT Talk alongside his friend, rapper Lil Dicky, also 38. However, fans could not take their eyes off Benny's hair as he ditched half of his trademark curly brown locks and completely shaved the left side of his head while keeping the hair on the right side untouched.
Fan Reactions
Blanco made no mention of his striking new look as he and Lil Dicky discussed their picks for 'greatest of all time' across television, music, and cinema. However, fans had strong opinions about Blanco's unconventional style, with many feeling 'so bad' for Gomez. One person commented on Complex's video, joking about whether Blanco had 'lost a bet.' Some followers weren't entirely convinced the haircut was genuine, suggesting Blanco might have been wearing a 'bald cap.'
Recent Hair Session with Jennifer Aniston
Blanco's makeover comes just over a week after an impromptu hair session with Friends legend Jennifer Aniston. Both Blanco and the 33-year-old Gomez appeared with Aniston in a recent advertisement for her haircare brand LolaVie, which she founded in 2021. In the footage posted to Aniston's Instagram last Tuesday, Blanco turned up at her house unannounced, prompting the actress to tell the camera, 'say I'm not here.' Once inside, Brad Pitt's ex-wife reluctantly offered to examine his curls, only to recoil in shock as she touched his hair. Gomez then questioned her husband, 'What are you doing here?' before revealing she had brought goodies from her own beauty line, Rare Beauty.
After expressing gratitude, Aniston styled Blanco's locks, joking she was glad to discover 'no creatures' lurking in his thick curls. Admiring his hair, Aniston said: 'Wow, God giveth, huh?' She then attempted a low ponytail on Blanco, a style he confessed he had never tried before. She worked some LolaVie Glossing Detangler through his hair before switching to her own hair, prompting a bewildered Blanco to ask, 'are you just done with mine?' He complimented her handiwork, declaring his hair felt the 'softest it's ever felt.'
Aniston asked who inspired his visit, and Blanco named her Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman. After his transformation, Blanco tried on Aniston's Jimmy Choo stilettos while Gomez browsed her wardrobe. The couple left behind Rare Beauty products as a token gesture. 'Bye, love you!' Gomez shouted as Aniston confided to the camera that the encounter was 'so weird' but the present was 'so sweet.' Aniston captioned the post: 'To pony or not to pony... that is the question,' alluding to the low ponytail. The footage delighted Aniston's celebrity friends, with Sandra Bullock volunteering for a hair makeover, writing 'Me next' in the comments. Blanco wrote, 'my hair has never felt better' before playfully adding, 'i'm moving in.'
