Selena Gomez's wedding hairstyle caught me off guard—until I recalled this discreet reveal.

Selena Gomez's wedding hairstyle caught me off guard—until I recalled this discreet reveal.

      Forever starts now: Selena Gomez wed producer and songwriter Benny Blanco last night in a cozy ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. In a series of fashionable photos shared on Instagram, it's evident that Gomez's appearance exuded timeless sophistication—from her halter neck Ralph Lauren gown to her shimmering, oval-shaped nails to her glamorous, vintage Hollywood bob. We're eagerly awaiting those nail details (we're sure celebrity manicurist Tom Bachik will share more!), but Who What Wear did manage to obtain a sought-after hair breakdown from her long-time stylist, Renato Campora. He describes the style as a "Hollywood glamour marcel wave bob," featuring a deep side part and 1930s-inspired S-shaped curls. This look strays slightly from conventional bridal hairstyles, which typically include sweeping updos, sleek chignons, and half-up, half-down styles—but it's such a romantic choice that I anticipate numerous brides in 2026 will replicate it. Observant beauty enthusiasts might recall that Gomez sported a very similar hairstyle at this year's Oscars in March, which was also styled by Campora.

      Coincidence? We think not—but there's no better occasion for a potential wedding hair trial than Hollywood's biggest night, right? Continue reading for all the details on Gomez's wavy wedding bob, straight from Campora himself.

      Campora began by washing Gomez's hair twice with Joico Defy Damage Protective Shampoo, followed by a 30-minute treatment with Joico Defy Damage KBOND20 Power Masque. "This effective combination resets the hair by eliminating buildup and thoroughly cleansing it," he states in a release. "The outcome is hair that’s prepared to absorb essential nutrients, minimize frizz, enhance moisture, shine, strength, and protection against heat styling." After towel-drying Gomez's hair and applying Joico's Dream Blowout Glass 72HR Frizz Fighter throughout her strands, he created a deep side part using a rat-tail comb. He then divided the hair into two-inch sections, applying Joico JoiWhip Design Foam from roots to ends and blow-drying with a large round brush, ensuring to pin each section to set and cool. "I applied this technique across the entire head to create a voluminous and polished base," he shares. "Once cooled, the hair appears noticeably shiny, bouncy, and full of vitality."

      "For styling, I start at the front of the head, just above the ear, working in one-inch horizontal sections," he adds. Each section was sprayed with Joico Heat Hero Glossing Thermal Protector before using a three-quarter-inch spring curling iron to form the marcel waves—again pinning each section to cool and set. "I repeated this process around the front, then moved to the opposite side, and finally to the back—beginning at the nape and working my way upward," he explains. Once the curls cooled for 20 minutes, "I removed the pins and gently brushed through each section to blend the waves," Campora states. "Special care was taken with the face-framing pieces, which are shaped to enhance and accentuate the facial structure." A generous mist of shine-enhancing hair spray to finish, and there you have it: "A perfect, timeless, healthy-looking Hollywood glamour marcel wave bob for a day dedicated to love, beauty, and perfection."
