LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Benny Blanco isn’t afraid to walk his own path especially if it means going barefoot on daytime TV.

The 37-year-old producer and fiance to Selena Gomez made a memorable entrance on the Monday, April 7 episode of 'The Jennifer Hudson Show', ditching shoes entirely and flaunting a set of sparkly toenails as he strolled through the show’s "spirit tunnel" walk.

In a video shared by the show, Benny Blanco could be seen handing out roses to the entire staff as he walked barefoot down the welcoming corridor.

"This is so nice. I love everyone," he said at the end of the tunnel, his glittering toes coordinating with his layers of gold necklaces and relaxed, paint-splattered cargo pants. Up top, he kept it simple with a white tee and a short-sleeved button-down. He later slipped on a pair of green slides.

He later jumped into the TikTok comments with a playful jab at himself, writing, "Wait where r my shoes?"

In recent months, he’s proudly shown off elaborate designs from California nail artist Nails by Tay. From Persian rug-inspired toenails in fall 2024, to lime-themed art and even pickle designs (complete with the logo of Gomez's favorite pickle brand, Best Maid Pickles), Blanco has turned his toes into a rotating art gallery.

Back in January, he debuted a sushi-themed pedicure featuring sculpted bento boxes and various nigiri across all ten toes.

Blanco and Gomez announced their engagement in December 2024, and their creative energy hasn’t slowed down. The duo dropped their collaborative studio album 'I Said I Love You First' in March, featuring fan-favorite singles 'Sunset Blvd' and 'Call Me When You Break Up'.

Benny Blanco’s latest appearance on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' sparked buzz, with many wondering why he decided to go barefoot for the spirit tunnel walk. 

One confused user summed it up with, "Why he shoeless tho?" while another pointed out, "That’s actually so sweet that he’s giving out roses to them… but where are his shoes?"



 



 

One commenter wrote, "Why he looks like an awkward kid," and another echoed, “He looks weird or is it just me???”



 



 

An individual compared his look to a fan-favorite TV character from a Nickelodeon's teen show, writing, "Honestly he reminds me of Mr. Sikowitz from Victorious."



 

On a more ciritical note, one wrote, "Came thru shoeless, soulless, and motionless," while another said, "I’m going to give bro a pass for the roses to the ladies." 

"Someone put some shoes on that man's feet," another comment read.
