Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber share a hug at the Academy Museum Gala. (Read More Here).

Stepping out separately, the two attended 2022 Academy Museum gala Oct. 15, and in style. Selena looked chic in a black tuxedo jacket and matching pants by Giorgio Armani, paired with Cartier jewelry—including a $219,000 panther-shaped ring. Hailey arrived in a black, strapless, Saint Laurent spring 2023 Ready-to-Wear cut-out gown.

It is unclear if she and Selena, her husband Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, interacted. While this is not the first time they have been spotted at the same place, the gala is the most high-profile event they have both attended, and it took place just over two weeks after the model gave a tell-all interview addressing critics of her relationship. She and Justin wed in 2018, months after stepping out together and after news of his split from Selena was made public

Following the release of the interview, Selena said in a live TikTok video that “some of the things that I don’t even need to be aware of are just vile and disgusting, and it’s not fair, and no one, ever, should be spoken to in the manner that I’ve seen.” She urged people to be kind to each other.

Also spotted at the Academy Museum Gala, supermodel Kaia Gerber, Emma Stone, Kerry Washington, George Clooney and wife Amal Clooney, Sophie Turner and husband Joe Jonas and two fan-favorite guests of honor—Oscar winners Julia Roberts and Tilda Swinton, who were honored with the Icon Award and the Visionary Award, respectively.

Both women opted for black at the elegant, star-studded event. Selena, 30, opted not to do a dress, going for a sleek menswear inspired tuxedo look instead. She paired the jacket, which featured chic satin lapels, with a wide legged trouser showing off a strappy sandal underneath. The Wondermind founder accented the ensemble with a pair of silver dangly earrings and a bold index finger ring that appeared to be from Cartier‘s iconic panthere line.

Meanwhile, Hailey, 25, stunned as she posed for photographers in strapless black gown with a center cutout designed by her go-to designer Yves Saint Laurent. Hailey finished her simple but elegant look with jewelry from Tiffany & Co., wearing a 1955 Citrine Necklace from their archives along with (1955) and Paloma Picasso‘s Studio Hexagon Ring.

In an in-depth interview, Hailey spoke openly for the first time about Selena’s past with Justin and where she personally stands with the Disney alum today. “It’s all respect. It’s all love,” the Rhode Beauty founder explained on the the Call Her Daddy podcast. “That’s also why I feel like, well, if everybody on our side knows what happened and we’re good and we can walk away from it with clarity and respect, then that’s fine! That brought me a lot of peace. WE know what happened. It is what it is. You’re never going to be able to correct every narrative,” referencing hate she’s experienced from fans of Justin and Selena’s romance.

She also set the record straight about allegations Justin cheated on Selena with her, making it very clear that she was never romantically involved with Justin at any time when he dated the Rare Beauty founder. Notably, Justin and Selena had a lengthy on-again, off-again relationship dating back to 2011 as teens, finally ending things for good after a split in the spring of 2018. Hailey said that her husband and Selena were “closing the door” on a long chapter of their lives, and were also not “in a relationship.”

Just months later, he married Hailey that September followed by a reception one year later — also rekindling a romance, as the two dated in 2016. Justin and Hailey have now been married for four years, and recently celebrated their wedding anniversary on Sept. 14.
