Since returning to the spotlight in December, Selena Gomez has been seen horseback riding, snow-tubing, and having a wine night with her friends Taylor Swift and Cazzie David—not because Gomez shared photos on her Instagram of the outings but because her friends did on their own. Yesterday, Gomez had a very special outing that her friends shared with the world: Gomez was at one of her best friends Courtney Barry's bridal showers, ahead of Barry's wedding to Sam Lopez. Barry and her other guests shared many photos from the event. Gomez can be seen wearing a sleeveless high-neck red dress in the group shots.

During her Hotel Transylvania 3 press tour in June last year, Barry sent E! questions to ask Gomez, including one where Gomez was asked to name her one best friend. "Oh no," Gomez told E! initially because she didn't want to choose. "Okay, fine, we go through seasons but I would say Raquelle [Stevens]." On Barry, she playfully quipped, "She’s got a boyfriend though. She’s good." That boyfriend is now her fiancé, Lopez. In August, Gomez documented her "best friend" Barry's 26th birthday party on her Instagram, writing about how much her friends Barry, Stevens, and Ashley Cook mean to her. The four got friendship tattoos, and in her last of three posts, Gomez shared a very sweet message to Barry. "My actual #1@courtneyjbarry you are an incredible woman," Gomez wrote. "The way you handle life’s most confusing moments is indescribable and graceful. You are moved by the littlest stories to the most heartbreaking ones, you will give someone your perfume if they say you smell nice, you are freaking hilarious and always stand firm in your faith, a loving sister, an amazing friend and a beautiful daughter.
