This appearance came following Selena Gomez's red carpet debut with husband Benny Blanco at the Academy Museum Gala. It was their first since tying the knot in September 2025.

"Selena Gomez on The Jennifer Hudson Show."

Netizens were notably quick to jump into the comment section of the X post as they penned their thoughts about Selena Gomez's energetic appearance. Below are some of their remarks:

"So much aura she didn’t need to dance 😭", noted a fan.
"That dress is gorgeous on her, totally agree! But honestly, I kinda disagree on the power of her celebrity overall, Fenty Beauty's 40 foundation shades changed the industry for good, you know? Selena's brand is great, but which celeb brand really made the biggest impact on beauty standards? 🤔", commented another.
"She seriously looks so stunning in that outfit. 😍 It's cool she was on to promote the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place reboot with David Henrie and Janice LeAnn Brown, tbh. Did you catch the episode already?", questioned a third.

Others also chimed in:

"Selena Gomez dropping some real talk on The Jennifer Hudson Show feels like a breath of fresh air in a sea of scripted interviews. Jennifer Hudson’s vibe always brings out a side in people you don’t get to catch every day, and Selena clearly wasn’t here to play it safe or just promote something. There’s something about the way they both carry themselves that makes any conversation more than just surface level, it’s like they are sharing parts of their journeys that aren’t always highlighted in the spotlight, and that’s the kind of raw honesty I think we’re all craving more of right now", penned an X user.
"Wow, Selena is absolutely glowing in that maroon outfit on The Jennifer Hudson Show set! The crowd’s lining up with roses, and she’s soaking it all in with such grace. Posted just a few hours ago, it’s clear she’s the star of the moment. Love how she’s embracing the love, pure queen energy! What do you think about her look and the warm welcome?", lauded another.
"Wow! I thought she would do something! She just gave Miss America vibes" wrote a third.

Fans can keep an eye on the official pages for more updates.
