The 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards brought plenty of A-list star power to Los Angeles on Monday night, but Selena Gomez quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrities on the red carpet. While the singer and actress turned heads in a glamorous Louis Vuitton gown, some fans were more focused on her appearance, with several speculating online about whether cosmetic treatments could have contributed to changes they noticed.
The Rare Beauty founder arrived at the Peacock Theater in a shimmering gold Louis Vuitton gown designed to resemble a mirror ball. The strapless dress featured a fitted silhouette that flowed into a floor-length skirt, creating a dramatic red-carpet moment.

Selena Gomez Looks Unrecognizable At The Emmy Awards Red Carpet
The star also switched up her hairstyle, moving away from the short cut she has been wearing recently and embracing long, loose waves cascading down her back. The look appeared reminiscent of her earlier music-video era, including the style she wore around the time of “Come & Get It.”
She completed the look with silver drop earrings, dewy makeup and a coral-toned lip.
Despite the glamorous ensemble, some social media users said they couldn't stop staring at Gomez's face and claimed that her eyes appeared different.
Several commenters specifically pointed to what they perceived as a difference in the size or appearance of her eyes, while others speculated about Botox or fillers.
“The Botox is doing some heavy lifting around the eyes,” one person wrote. “Something is different…” another commented.
“Wait why do her eyes look wide and big??” a third person asked.
“Class act. But, why the brow lift?” another wrote.
“Stop put the syringes and filler DOWN,” someone else commented. Another critic said, “Her eyes is different.”
“She’s too young still imo to do so much Botox on her face. It looks frozen,” another person claimed.
“Girl don’t touch that face no more,” someone else wrote.
“Ugh too young to get fillers/botox!! C’mon Selena!!” another commenter added.
Selena Gomez Admits To Getting Botox
While fans have speculated about various cosmetic procedures over the years, the 34-year-old has publicly acknowledged using Botox while denying that she has undergone other extensive cosmetic work.
In December 2023, Gomez responded to an Instagram critic who suggested she remove cheek fillers. She pushed back on the claim and wrote, “Hahahaha I've had Botox bb girl.”
The following year, Selena also addressed speculation about her appearance after a TikTok video compared a photo of her as a teenager with a more recent image.
The comparison appeared to suggest that she had undergone undisclosed cosmetic procedures.
“Honestly I hate this. I was on [steroids] because of a flare up,” she wrote in the comments. Gomez then clarified, “I have Botox. That's it. Leave me alone.”
Selena has previously spoken publicly about her health and the medications she has taken, and changes in appearance can have many possible explanations.
The latest comments about her Emmy Awards look remain speculation from social media users rather than confirmation that she underwent any particular cosmetic procedure.
