Selena Gomez was spotted out for the first time since announcing her engagement to Benny Blanco on Wednesday.
Actress Emilia Perez, 32, who was proposed to with a stunning 8-carat marquise-cut diamond ring, sent a friendly wave to fans as she arrived at the Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday.
It comes just days after the star took to her main Instagram page to reveal that the record producer, 36, had popped the big question after a year and a half of dating.
While Gomez opted not to wear the statement ring for the outing, she looked glamorous in a black velvet skirt and white blouse tucked in to her waist.
She completed the outfit with a long black coat and also slipped on a pair of black closed-toe pumps.
Selena’s short brunette locks were parted to the side and fell in light curls until they touched the ends of her shoulders.

The Wolves singer accessorized the look with a pair of dangling silver earrings and a silver ring on her right hand.
Her makeup was classic, consisting of a coat of mascara on her eyelashes and a bold red tint on her lips.
Gomez had a big smile on his face and easily carried his smartphone in his hand as he arrived at the venue.
Saturday’s outing was her first since she revealed that Blanco had proposed to her during a romantic picnic on a set.
The Only Murders In The Building actress posted a series of snaps to her main Instagram page that captured the special moment.
In one image, the star only showed off her left hand to give her 423 million fans and followers a close-up look at the eye-catching diamond ring.
Jeweler Laura Taylor told MailOnline: “The engagement ring chosen by Benny for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style.”
“The ring features an incredible center marquise cut diamond, about 8 carats, set on a yellow gold pave band.”

Jeweler Laura Taylor told MailOnline: “The engagement ring chosen by Benny for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style.”
Taylor added: “The marquise cut, with its elongated, pointed shape, is a striking choice, known for its shine and the way it elongates the finger, creating a striking and elegant look.”
“The pave band, with its continuous row of smaller diamonds set closely together, adds an extra layer of sparkle and luxury, beautifully complementing the center marquise diamond.”
‘This configuration maximizes the brightness of the overall design while maintaining a sense of sophistication.
“The center diamond is likely to be of exceptional quality, with VVS1 clarity and a colorless grading in the DF range. I estimate the ring is worth more than £800,000 ($1 million), depending on the precise specifications of the diamond.
The engagement also pays homage to Selena’s 2015 hit song titled Good For You, where she notably sings the lyrics: “I’m on my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond / I might even make that Tiffany jealous.”
Another photo was taken while Selena sat on a blanket placed on a piece of artificial grass.

Benny placed a loving kiss on the side of the singer’s face as they stopped to take an adorable snap together.
