Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco welcomed their celeb guests, family and friends Friday evening with a rehearsal dinner held at a mansion in Hope Ranch in Goleta Valley, Calif.
The “Only Murders in the Building” actress’s co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short were photographed walking into the lavish 1,863-acre estate, looking dapper in suits.
In another photo Page Six obtained, Martin, 80, was seen chatting it up and laughing with his other Hulu co-star Paul Rudd as a group of guests sat nearby at a long table set with wine glasses and water.
Short, 75, for his part, arrived without Meryl Streep — whom he is rumored to be dating — because she had to drop out of the wedding weekend unexpectedly, a source recently told the Daily Mail.
Although Taylor Swift was not snapped at the outdoor fete on Friday, either, she had been spotted sneaking out of a plane in Santa Barbara, Calif., earlier in the day ahead of the highly anticipated nuptials.
Page Six exclusively reported Friday that the pop superstar — who is best friends with Gomez — will be staying a rental home near the wedding venue for security reasons.
Images of the bride and groom at their rehearsal dinner have not yet surfaced online.
Gomez and Blanco are set to tie the knot in an intimate ceremony Saturday at a private estate in Santa Barbara, according to the Sun.
Their guests — sans Swift, 35 — will reportedly stay at the El Encanto hotel, whose $3,500-a-night rooms are booked throughout the wedding weekend.
“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” an insider told the outlet.
“Everyone is so excited despite the mystery, they know it will be an amazing time.”
The update came nearly a month after the former Disney Channel actress, 33, was seen enjoying her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in August.
Gomez shared a carousel of photos from the luxurious yacht celebration with friends which included her longtime gal pals Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook and Courtney Lopez.
In one of her photos, the “Love You Like a Love Song” hitmaker wore a backless pearl halter dress with a white veil that read “bride to be” in cursive and a white bikini.
Blanco, 37, officially popped the question to the “Only Murders in the Building” star last December after more than a year of dating.
“forever begins now,” Gomez captioned a carousel of photos showing off her diamond sparkler at the time.
Gomez confirmed on Instagram that she had been secretly dating Blanco for six months in December 2023.
