Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Put Their Mismatched Couple ...

Much ado has been made over celebrity couples who coordinate their outfits together. But what can be said about couples bold enough to have mismatched styles? Enter Hollywood’s latest romantic fascination: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.

The two, who confirmed their romance in early December, made their first public appearance together yesterday, embarking on a date at Crypto.com Arena, where the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers were playing the Miami Heat. Celebs have long used their coveted courtside seats as an opportunity to show off their style, and Gomez and Blanco’s date was clearly no exception. Together, the two introduced a new kind of couple-style trend: black cat girlfriend and golden retriever boyfriend.

In other words, Gomez seemed to gravitate toward a darker, moodier palette, compared with her boyfriend’s playful pastel attire. She wore a long black leather coat from Ronny Kobo, which featured white lapels and paneling, with baggy black parachute pants from Zara. For an added edge, she capped off the look with metallic silver pointed-toe boots.

As for the music producer, Blanco played the counterweight to Gomez’s energy, opting for a white collared puffer jacket covered in a bright pink and tangerine-orange floral pattern. To complementing the statement outerwear, he wore a white T-shirt, white tapered pants, and white slip-on clogs.

Last month, an insider opened up about the couple’s dynamic to Entertainment Tonight.

“She feels so safe and secure with him, so she felt like it was a good time to share how happy she is with her fans,” the source said. “Benny is a great communicator, is honest and open with Selena, and listens to her. He’s respectful, isn’t a player, and not in it for the attention or fame. He doesn’t care about any of that, and Selena sees that and really trusts him.”
