Gomez’s fitted dress highlighted her toned silhouette, and her black patent leather heels added an extra touch of elegance as she posed for cameras and mingled with guests. Known for her impeccable style, the Who Says singer paired her ensemble with a sultry brown smokey eye, nude matte lips, and a peach blush, exuding a polished yet natural glamor. Her cropped brunette hair, styled in soft curls, perfectly framed her heart-shaped face.

The benefit, announced last month, promised a “star-studded evening” filled with live entertainment, special performances, and a high-energy auction to raise funds for the Rare Impact Fund’s global initiatives. Guests at the exclusive event were treated to a luxurious evening of food and drinks before the live auction began, with all proceeds going directly to support mental health awareness and resources.

Gomez, 32, has made mental health advocacy a cornerstone of her work, both through her beauty line and her nonprofit, the Rare Impact Fund. In a statement released ahead of the event, she expressed her gratitude to the supporters and sponsors who helped make the evening possible. “I am so excited to host the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit here in Los Angeles and to continue building on the success of last year’s inaugural event,” Gomez said. She further mentioned that mental health advocacy and furthering the Rare Impact Fund’s mission has become an important part of her life and it was impossible for her to do all this without the support of her close ones.

As the evening progressed, Gomez continued to thank her friends, sponsors, and attendees for their dedication to the cause, underscoring the importance of mental health in today’s society. The Rare Impact Fund, created as an extension of her Rare Beauty brand, has been instrumental in funding mental health initiatives and providing resources to those in need, with Gomez’s advocacy reaching fans and communities globally.
