Gomez wore an elegant ivory dress as she hit the floor — cocktail in hand — with Iervolino.

The pair were later snapped hugging as they looked out at the ocean, with the film pro, 34, kissing the pop star on the side of her head in several shots.

The Rare Beauty founder was also presented with at least two birthday cakes: one that appeared to be chocolate while the other was adorned with fresh fruit.

Gomez blew out the candles in front of a smiling Iervolino and other guests.

While seated for dinner, Gomez and her crew were serenaded by a group of musicians before toasting to the birthday girl, who eventually removed her high heels for comfort’s sake.

Gomez’s Italian getaway comes one week after she held a star-studded bash for her 30th, with a guest list including Francia Raisa, Olivia Rodrigo, Camila Cabello, Tyga and others.

“My twenties were a journey through good, hard and beautiful moments that I will never forget. Each of them has shaped me into the person that I am today,” she shared on Instagram as she reflected on turning the big 3-0.

 “I am someone who is still learning, but is more certain about what matters and what she wants. Someone who is grateful for every single gift and every single lesson along the way,” she continued.

“I am walking forward encouraged by so many strong, empowering people around me.. I want to try my best to take the beautiful and the painful one day at a time and let it all make me into the very best me that I can be for myself/others/you.”

Gomez spent her actual birthday, July 22, with bestie Taylor Swift, captioning an Instagram snap of them together, “30, nerdy and worthy.”
