Hailey Bieber Poses with Selena Gomez at Gala Event After ‘CHD’ Interview

The viewed drama in between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez is all water under a bridge — something HB verified in an interview … and is now double validating with a picture.

The 2 stars cheesed it up Saturday night … presenting together for a picture taken by expert BTS celebration photog Tyrell Hampton at the Academy Museum Gala in L.A., where the stars were out in force and dressed to the nines amidst Oscar season.

Both ladies looked sensational in their clothing, with Selena strolling the red carpet solo in a fit … and ditto for Hailey, who remained in a cropped gown. Justin Bieber wasn’t there.

It appears they crossed courses either inside the museum at an after-party, and obviously felt cozy enough for a joint breeze. Selena’s holding Hailey’s leg and they’re both leaned in close. Tyrell’s caption … “plot twist” — undoubtedly referencing Hailey’s current sit-down.

You’ll recall … Hailey dished about the fan-fueled idea that she’d taken Justin far from Selena, a story that’s been going on for many years now — which she shot down entirely.

She stated she appreciated Justin and Selena’s relationship while it was going on, and didn’t interfere at all.

Eventually, JB and SG died and he got with Hailey … and she even stated she believes he required closure from his history with Selena to officially proceed.

Hailey likewise stated she and Selena were on excellent terms, and had actually even spoken given that she and Justin got together … and eventually hitched. As for the poisonous fans pitting the 2 girls versus each other, HB had some option words for them too.

If her words weren’t’ persuading enough for folks, the evidence remains in the polaroid. All is well!

BTW … we weren’t joking when we stated this was a Hollywood who’s-who. The heavyweights appeared for this thing — consisting of George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, Emma Stone, Olivia Wilde, Kerry Washington, Jessica Chastain, Keke Palmer, Glenn Close, Tilda Swinton, Rebel Wilson, John Cho, Adrien Brody and more.
