The wedding bells are ringing louder and louder for Selena Gomez, who just checked off a landmark occasion from her bridal to-do list ahead of her and Benny Blanco‘s nuptials: the bachelorette party.
In a Thursday night (Aug. 28) post on Instagram, the singer-actress gave fans a peek inside the action-packed celebrations she and her closest girlfriends enjoyed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, leading up to the big day. Spending lots of time by the beach, Gomez sported a white bikini and a “Bride to Be” veil in some of the snaps.
The group also enjoyed a couple of dinners by the water, for which the Rare Beauty founder wore different white dresses. The house they stayed in was decked out with celebratory balloons spelling out “Bride” and “Mrs. Levin.” (The producer was born Benjamin Levin.)
Among the group of ladies in Gomez’s crew — which, if keeping with tradition, will make up her party of bridesmaids/maids of honor at her wedding — were Ashley Cook, Connar Franklin Carpenter, Courtney Lopez, Racquelle Stevens and the Emilia Perez star’s cousin Priscilla DeLeon. Not pictured was Gomez’s bestie Taylor Swift, though some fans online are speculating that the Eras Tour headliner was actually behind the camera of many of the snaps, as they have a similar yellow filter on them that often appears on Swift’s photos.
Gomez’s girls’ trip comes about nine months after she and Blanco announced their engagement, which came after about a year of dating. “forever begins now..,” the beauty mogul wrote at the time, with Swift commenting, “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Less than a year later, Swift is also engaged. On Tuesday (Aug. 26), she and Travis Kelce shared the big news on Instagram, and Gomez quickly wrote on her Instagram Story, “When bestie gets engaged.”
Though Gomez’s bachelorette trip would make it seem as though her wedding day is coming up soon, neither she nor Blanco have shared when they plan on tying the knot. The producer did say, however, that they were aiming for a “chill” ceremony and reception on a July episode of Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast — although at that point, the couple hadn’t started wedding planning yet.
“Honestly, I really want to take a little break,” he said at the time, confirming that he and his fiancée hadn’t begun planning. “I’ve been working so much … I just want to lay in bed and forget what day it is, because we’ve been in bed just watching stuff. Not usually, but with Selena, I can do it all day. She makes me want to hang out and cuddle, just watch things, eat food, and have the best time ever.”
