Continuing her commitment to mental health awareness, Selena Gomez took on hosting duties at her first Rare Impact Fund Benefit event in Los Angeles on October 4. The charity event, titled A Night of Radiance and Reflection witnessed the arrival of some A-listed celebrities from the music and film world. The star-studded ceremony was a venture organised by Selena Gomez’s beauty line Rare Beauty. It aimed to “reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and provide young people with access to the resources they need to support their mental health.” Overwhelmed at the love and support she received at her inaugural charity event, the Single Soon singer expressed her gratitude and thanked everyone for the noble cause..
In a long, heartwarming post on Instagram, Selena Gomez wrote, “My heart is full after this week’s inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit. This has always been a dream of mine and I’m forever grateful to everyone who has joined us on this mission to expand mental health services and education for young people around the world. I am encouraged by the amount of love and support in the room. The future is bright, this is only the beginning. Love you all so much.”

Selena Gomez makes sure to sprinkle some style wherever she goes. And the 31-year-old did not disappoint this time too. She sported three different looks, all on the same night. One was a silver-sequinned halter-neck gown, followed by Indian designer Rahul Mishra’s floral purple, mini-dress and a black jungle print velvet dress.
