She made people gasp when she walked into the 2nd annual Rare Impact Fund event in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
She used to be on the Disney Channel and is 32 years old. She started the non-profit in 2020 along with her Rare Beauty makeup line at Sephora, which helped her become a billionaire by 2024.
The Rare Impact Fund wants to raise $100 million to help young people around the world get better access to mental health assistance and education.
Gomez walked the red carpet at the LA fundraiser once a year in a stylish blue one-shoulder dress.
The dress was tight around the Emilia Perez star’s small waist and showed off her toned legs.
Gomez wore hot black patent leather shoes as she walked around Nya Studios WEST, where the event took place.
Her short, dark hair was curled in soft waves that framed her heart-shaped face.
The singer of “Who Said” wore a sexy brown smokey eye, a matte nude lip, and a peach blush on her cheeks to look young.
In September, the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit was announced. A press release said it would be a “star-studded evening” with “live entertainment and special performances” all night long.
Before the live auction, there will be food and drinks. The money raised will go toward the non-profit’s global goal.
Gomez said in a statement, “I am so excited to host the second annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit here in Los Angeles and to keep building on the success of last year’s inaugural event.”
“Supporting mental health and the Rare Impact Fund’s mission has become my life’s work, and I couldn’t do it without the help of the people around me.”
“A huge thank you to our amazing friends and sponsors who really believe in our work,” she ended.
The press release says that the Rare Impact Fund “currently supports 26 youth mental health organizations across five continents.” These include organizations in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe as a whole, India, Brazil, and Australia.
Since she was identified with bipolar disorder in 2018, Gomez has been open about her own mental health problems.
It was at a treatment center that she was diagnosed. While on her Revival tour, she had psychosis, manic episodes, and sadness.
“I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t want to go to the mental hospital,” Gomez said in Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me (2022), her popular show on Apple TV+.
“I didn’t want to, but I just couldn’t stay stuck in my mind any longer.” I thought the end of my life was near; I thought, “This is how my life will always be.”
Gomez got help from a different psychiatrist after being given too much medication at first. This psychiatrist helped her find the best care for her.
Gomez became an advocate for mental health because she was able to take charge of her own mental health and make her life better.
Gomez worked with Sephora to give money from her Rare Beauty line to the Rare Impact Fund in honor of Mental Health Day earlier this month.
“Partners like Sephora are instrumental, not only by believing in this mission but also by contributing crucial funds to expand mental health resources for the young people who need them,” Gomez said in a statement. „The mental health crisis continues to disproportionately affect young people.
One percent of Rare Beauty’s sales are already given to the fund directly, and the fund also gets money from individuals, business partners, the community, and other charitable groups.
