After months of swirling rumors, spirited protests, and high-voltage curiosity, the much-anticipated wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media personality Lauren Sánchez have finally kicked off. Set against the romantic backdrop of Venice, Italy, the grand affair is already being hailed as the 'wedding of the century.'
All eyes on the bride
Known for her fearless red carpet fashion, Lauren Sánchez wasted no time making a memorable entrance as the multi-day festivities got underway. As A-list guests, celebrities, and industry moguls descended on Venice, anticipation built for the couple’s first official appearance. Lauren did not disappoint-her debut look is already sparking headlines and setting the tone for a series of jaw-dropping bridal ensembles.
A Schiaparelli masterpiece straight off the runway
For the opening celebration, Sanchez turned to none other than Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry to craft her show-stopping gown. The striking corseted dress hails from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2025 couture collection and drew inspiration from Art Deco design. It showcased a structured silhouette and a lavishly embroidered skirt, perfectly balancing drama and elegance.
Schiaparelli, celebrated for its avant-garde approach and surrealist details, has dressed countless Hollywood icons-and now adds Lauren to its roster of standout muses.
Understated accessories with a major sparkle
While her gown commanded attention, Sanchez kept her accessories tastefully minimal. She paired her couture dress with a pair of classic diamond studs and her spectacular 30-carat engagement ring-reportedly one of the largest celebrity engagement rings in recent memory. Her beauty look was equally refined: a nude matte makeup palette and her signature soft, pulled-back ponytail lent an effortless polish.
Venice becomes the stage for a modern fairytale
From gondola arrivals to candlelit soirées, the wedding festivities promise to blend Italian charm with unparalleled luxury. The couple, engaged since May 2023 after Jeff Bezos proposed aboard his yacht Koru, are expected to host a series of themed events over the weekend, with some of the world’s most influential names in attendance.
If Lauren Sánchez’s first ensemble is any indication, this wedding will deliver couture moments that will be remembered-and emulated-for years to come.
