The 30-year-old organised the event back in July. The reason? To make up for the fact she's still single even though she thought she would have been married by 25. She even wore a pink bridal-style gown.
"I grew up thinking I would be married at 25. It wrecked me that I was nowhere near that – couldn't be farther from it," she told Rolling Stone magazine.

Guests at the bash included Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Camila Cabello.
Elsewhere in the interview, Gomez insisted she often feels like she doesn't belong and describes pop star Taylor Swift as her only famous friend.
"I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor Swift, so I remember feeling like I didn't belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but … was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy?"
