Selena Gomez kept wedding gown private and posted decoy image

Selena Gomez said she intentionally kept the gown she wore to her wedding concealed, revealing in a televised interview on Oct. 21 that the images she first posted from her Sept. 27 California ceremony showed a different Ralph Lauren dress than the lace gown she actually wore to say I do. Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco exchanged vows in a private ceremony attended by friends and family, and Blanco posted additional photos the day after the wedding.

On The Jennifer Hudson Show, Gomez explained why she posted a decoy image from the event. "I tried to do this sneaky thing. I did not want anyone to get photos of my wedding unless it was from me," she said, adding that she keeps her life as private as she can. The first carousel she shared featured a high-neck, backless Ralph Lauren halter with a dramatic train. Gomez identified a different custom Ralph Lauren lace gown, embellished with hand-painted corsetry, hand-shaped lace flowers, crystals and embroidery, as the dress she wore during the ceremony, calling it her favorite. She and Blanco later unveiled additional looks from the day, including a shorter reception dress and a floral-embellished blazer minidress.
