Kardashian, Orlando Bloom and other celebrities arrive at Bezos’ wedding
Celebrities, including Ivanka Trump and Oprah Winfrey, have arrived in Venice for the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos are officially one.
The billionaire Amazon founder and award-winning television journalist tied the knot on Friday, June 27th at a very luxurious Venetian wedding after a star-studded wedding event (which is likely to be a bailout for Italian cities).
The pair raised their eyebrows early on Friday, and as Sanchez Bezos waved and kissed the spectators, she headed out to the wedding on a sleek motorboat from the gorgeous Aman Hotel.
Guests on the A-list were spotted by photographers along the way at the ceremony, including sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and family patriarch Kris Jenner.

Lauren Sanchez’s wedding gown
Sanchez Bezos wore a high-neck Dolce and Gabbana silhouette dress decorated with priestly buttons covered in 180 silk chiffon combined with tulle and lace veils, inspired by a similar veil worn by iconic Italian actress Sofia Lauren in the 1958 film Horseboat.
“As you get a little older, not many things will surprise you,” 55-year-old Sanchez Bezos told the magazine about the couple’s wedding. “I can’t wait to see him.”
“I’ve come into a lot of therapy and it changed me a lot in a lot of ways. But it’s really Jeff,” she continued. “Jeff hasn’t changed me. Jeff has it. It was revealed myself. I feel safe. I think I saw it. He lets me go. Like I said about Sophia Lauren being apologetic free, he makes me free indifferent. ”
Vogue revealed that out of the 200 guests, around 70 are the duo’s family. “The wedding is very intimate,” Sánchez Bezos said. The traditional dress Sánchez Bezos wore for Fête is a confusion from her usual fashion preferences.
She wore an all-white look inspired by lingerie for President Donald Trump’s second inauguration in January.
“It’s from ‘I’m a simple, sexy modern dress’, ‘I want something that evokes the moment’, and where are you now? I’m not like I was five years ago,” she told Vogue.
Lauren Sanchez Bezos: The subtle way Jeff Bezos’ wife revealed the name change
Before posting photos of the pair’s wedding, the former guest co-host of “The View” scrubbed her Instagram with photos left in her feed (now archives). Eagle Eyed wedding spectators noticed that journalists also made another change. Transfer her display name to “Lauren Sanchezbezos” and the handle to @laurensanchezbezos.
The couple’s controversial, luxurious Venetian weddings do not have legal status under Italian law, suggesting that the couple may already be legally married in the United States, eschewing the bureaucracy associated with Italian marriages.
Bezos’ multi-million dollar events have sparked rage directly online, in an attempt to protest Blue Origin owners to pay more tax amid global dissatisfaction over the division of classes and wealth.
Bezos, 61, and Sánchez were reportedly first linked in 2019, roughly the same as the parties announced a split from their previous partners.

After the wedding, the newlyweds and their guests are expected to head to the halls of Arsenel, a renovated maritime area on the outer edge of Venice.
