Selena Gomez graced the front row of the New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers basketball game this week at Madison Square Garden, looking as chic as ever.
Adorned in a long, stylish maroon leather trench coat and a flirty black midi skirt, the Rare Beauty mogul, 31, topped off her look with knee-high black crocodile-embossed boots.
Accompanied by her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco, the April 22nd game served as the perfect date night for the celebrity couple.

Selena Gomez Stuns In Maroon Leather Trench And Black Crocodile-Embossed Boots For NYC Date Night With Benny Blanco
To dazzle up her ensemble even more, the “Love On” singer added shiny gold hoop earrings and slicked her brunette tresses into an elegant, side-parted updo. As for her makeup look, Gomez opted for black liner, mascara, rosy blush on her cheekbones and a 90s-esque berry red lipstick.
Blanco, 36, snuggled up to his girlfriend while watching the game and donned a collared, cream, button-down short-sleeve top with floral embellishments on the sleeves, blue floral-printed trousers and brown loafers.

The Only Murders in the Building actress was also photographed talking to fellow famous attendee Sting, who sat next to her and her beau of almost one year. Other notable basketball fans spotted at the star-studded event included Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Carmelo Anthony and Saturday Night Live cast members Ego Nwodim and Cecily Strong.
This outing from Gomez and Blanco comes just after the “Lose You To Love Me” hitmaker shared new, cute loved-up pics with Blanco in Instagram Story posts for her 429 million followers last week. During Blanco’s 36th birthday party last month, a photograph was taken of the “Single Soon” crooner kissing him on the lips. In a separate picture captured inside a car, Blanco can be observed kissing his girlfriend’s left hand adorned with red manicured nails as she takes a selfie with her right hand.
On March 9th, the couple commemorated Blanco's birthday with Gomez wearing a striking red sequin dress that showcased a daring low neckline and a thigh-high slit, adding to her overall sensational appearance. She embellished the ensemble with a stunning diamond necklace and earrings that glimmered with radiance.
One day prior, Gomez posted an IG tribute to her boyfriend, writing: "Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me." She continued: "I love you @itsbennyblanco."
The love story between the two Grammy winners is certainly blossoming, as seen from their recent outings and continual shoutouts to each other on social media. According to an insider, the romance between Gomez and Songwriters Hall of Famer may be progressing to the next level. As per Life & Style, a source recently revealed to the mag that Gomez eagerly anticipates Blanco’s proposal.
"Selena can’t wait for Benny to propose," a source recently told the outlet. They added: "She’s been telling friends she’s finally found the right guy and she’s ready to walk down the aisle. There are some who fear she’s rushing into things a little bit, though. They don’t want Selena to get her heart broken."
The insider went on, noting that an engagement between Gomez and Blanco might happen sooner than many expected. "Benny is planning a romantic proposal — he’s just waiting for the right time," the source said, adding that the Wizards of Waverly Place alum and record producer "have talked rings." Blanco has reportedly "even gone shopping — so he might pop the question any day now," according to the tipster.
Gomez and Blanco have apparently "already discussed their dream wedding," and Gomez "wants lots of color and tons of flowers." Gomez (who revealed on Instagram in December that Blanco is "better than anyone I’ve ever been with") also has been looking at wedding dresses, as noted by the source.
