Benny Blanco, music producer and husband of actress Selena Gomez, recently unveiled a striking new hairstyle that has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans. On the latest episode of Complex’s YouTube series GOAT Talk, Blanco appeared alongside rapper Lil Dicky sporting a dramatic look: half of his trademark curly brown hair was shaved completely on the left side, while the right side remained untouched.
This bold style choice comes shortly after Blanco addressed concerns about his personal hygiene, following fans’ critical comments about his visibly dirty feet and pleas for Gomez to “divorce him.” Despite the buzz, Blanco did not comment on his new haircut during the episode, instead focusing on a lively debate with Lil Dicky about their picks for the greatest figures in television, music, and film.
Fans, however, couldn’t help but fixate on Blanco’s unconventional appearance. Many expressed sympathy for Gomez, with some speculating that he might have lost a bet.
Others questioned whether the look was real, suggesting Blanco could be wearing a bald cap. Comparisons ranged from humorously likening his hairstyle to Gary Oldman’s character in The Fifth Element to wondering if Gomez was truly “madly in love” given the edgy cut.
In a related clip shared on Jennifer Aniston’s Instagram, Blanco made an unannounced visit to the actress’s home. Aniston humorously urged the camera to “Say I’m not here” before agreeing to assess Blanco’s curls. She was visibly surprised by the texture of his hair as she ran her fingers through it, even joking that she was relieved to find no “creatures” hiding within.
Aniston styled Blanco’s hair into a low ponytail-a look he admitted he had never tried before-using her LolaVie Glossing Detangler. Blanco praised the result, saying his hair felt the softest it ever had. When asked why she decided to give him a makeover, Aniston mentioned her Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman as the inspiration.
After the styling session, Blanco slipped on a pair of Aniston’s Jimmy Choo stilettos while Gomez browsed through her wardrobe. The couple left a small selection of Selena’s Rare Beauty products as a thank-you gift. Gomez warmly said goodbye, while Aniston reflected on the unusual but sweet encounter, captioning her post with a playful nod to the ponytail she created: “To pony or not to pony… that is the question.”
The video delighted fans and fellow celebrities alike. Sandra Bullock chimed in with a lighthearted “Me next” for a hair makeover, while Blanco himself joked about the experience, writing, “My hair has never felt better. I’m moving in.”
