If you’ve ever frantically thrown out half of your closet looking for the perfect outfit to wear on a first date, consider yourself seen. As if a first date isn’t terrifying enough, dressing for the occasion often feels more challenging than the date itself. We can imagine this is especially true if you are returning to dating life after a lengthy hiatus and a very public relationship—a lá Selena Gomez. The Rare Beauty founder has shown snippets of her new relationship with producer Benny Blanco on Instagram and finally made it Los Angeles official when sitting courtside at a Lakers Game last night. Gomez’s date night outfit with Blanco was unfussy and comfortable yet still chic—the perfect trifecta for crafting a stellar ensemble for an evening out with your new partner.
The key to a great date night look is prioritizing simplicity and comfort, which is exactly what Gomez did. The Wizards of Waverly Place alumna styled a statement Ronny Kobo coat over a black top and pants. Her almost $900 faux leather coat has an ivory and black blocking pattern and a tie-around waist, but Gomez opted to wear it undone. Peaking out from underneath her bold topper was a black tee and $20 Zara parachute pants (celebs wear Zara, too!).
