Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding Dress Disappears After Lavish Venice Ceremony

July 3, 2025, 8:46 pm

Jeff Bezos’ lavish wedding to Lauren Sanchez in Venice is still splashing headlines, but this time for a shocker. Just days following the opulent three-day extravaganza, one of the new bride’s 27 bespoke wedding gowns has apparently been stolen.

Wedding Dress of Lauren Sánchez Reportedly Stolen in Venice

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, one of the wedding gowns has gone missing since Bezos and Sanchez exchanged their vows during a Venetian wedding. There has been no news about the designer label or the missing dress’s label, according to the Daily Mail.

Mystery Woman Suspected in Gown Theft

It is further reported that a yet-to-be-identified woman who was smartly dressed for the event managed to slip past the security guards. She was later “kindly escorted out.” Nevertheless, her personal information was not taken, and currently, it is suspected that she may have stolen the dress.

Drama Around Dolce & Gabbana Gown

Sanchez’s Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown allegedly caught fire. Luckily, it wasn’t the dress she got married in. At her wedding, the former journalist was a lacy white turtleneck Dolce & Gabbana bridesmaid-style gown. It featured floral lacy sleeves, a fitted bodice, a high neck, and a flowing skirt.

Lauren Sánchez Shared Photos and Vogue Feature

Furthermore, the wedding gown consisted of an massive train and front buttons. Sanchez posted photos of her, Bezos, and her wedding dress on her Instagram and captioned it “I do.” She also presented the beautiful wedding gown on a pre-wedding photoshoot for Vogue where she expressed how she felt like a “princess” when she got her fitting done in Milan.

Former news anchor Lauren Sanchez married Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in a grand ceremony in Venice, Italy, on June 27, according to E! News. The luxurious celebration took place on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore and lasted three days.

Her Children Played Key Roles

Lauren’s three children had important roles during the wedding. Her sons, Nikko (24) and Evan (19), walked with her down the aisle. She shares Nikko with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez and Evan with ex-husband Patrick Whitesell.

Her 17-year-old daughter, Ella, whom she also shares with Patrick, served as her maid of honour. Ella delivered a heartfelt reading during the ceremony.

A Star-Studded Guest List

The wedding had fewer than 200 guests, but it included several high-profile celebrities. Among those present were Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Eva Longoria, Orlando Bloom, Ivanka Trump, Bill Gates, and Karlie Kloss.

A Romantic Performance Kicked Off the Ceremony

The wedding began with Matteo Bocelli singing Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” which received cheers from the guests, reported People.

A Stylish Couple

Ahead of the wedding, photographers spotted Bezos and Sanchez leaving the Aman Hotel separately. Lauren wore a retro white suit with a silk scarf, while Bezos chose a black tuxedo with aviator sunglasses. Later, she changed into a chic off-shoulder black dress and a wide-brimmed hat, while Bezos wore a brown t-shirt and matching trousers.

Last-Minute Venue Change Due to Protests

The couple originally planned to marry at Scuola Grande della Misericordia on June 28. However, due to ongoing protests against the event, they moved the ceremony to a more secure location. Protesters criticized the wedding as a symbol of wealth inequality.

A Fresh Start on Social Media

Shortly after the wedding, Lauren deleted all previous posts from her Instagram and changed her display name to Lauren Sanchez Bezos. Now, her profile features only one post—a photo of her and Bezos walking down the aisle. The caption simply reads: “06/27/2025.”

A Look Back at Their Relationship

Bezos and Sanchez announced their engagement in May 2023, a few years after they publicly confirmed their relationship. Just last month, Lauren flew into space aboard Jeff’s Blue Origin rocket alongside Katy Perry and Gayle King.

Reflecting on that experience, she told Blue Origin:
“All the love that was in that capsule, and all the heart and the feelings, and seeing Jeff before I left, I just… I had to come back. I mean, we’re getting married! If I didn’t come back, that would be a bummer for me.”

Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez Spotted at Harry’s Bar in Venice After Wedding

June 29, 2025, 2:23 pm

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were first seen as bride and groom in the city streets of Venice, Italy, after their wedding on June 27 in a glamorous, celebrity-filled event.

The pair decided to have lunch at Harry’s Bar, a renowned local eatery, accompanied by friends Usher and Tommy Hilfiger. Page Six said the bar was shut to the public while they enjoyed their private lunch. A source said, “Harry’s doesn’t have a water taxi drop-off, so they had to be dropped off at the hotel across the street and make their way through.”

Bezos was dressed down in a brown T-shirt with sunglasses, while Lauren wore an off-the-shoulder black dress, accompanied by a cream handbag, wide hat, and dark glasses. The couple were taken to the event in a water taxi.

Owner of Harry’s Bar responds

Later that night, at 9 p.m., Harry’s Bar reopened to its normal clientele. Its proprietor, Arrigo Cipriani, said to Corriere della Sera, “Bezos is a discreet man who has come here to marry. I can’t understand any issue with that. Venice is Venice and this will do nothing.”

To ensure order, there were additional police officers than normal posted close to the bar and hotels. Stories also mentioned that Bezos and Sanchez had reserved two high-end hotels; the Aman and the Gritti Palace, privately for themselves and guests. Consequently, some guests who had made bookings at the Aman months in advance were shifted to the St. Regis Hotel, at company expense.

Protests Occur in Streets

Despite the glamour, not everyone in Venice was pleased. On Saturday, thousands of residents and demonstrators took to the streets to protest. Many were frustrated by billionaires like Bezos hosting extravagant events in Venice, even as locals struggle with soaring costs and overcrowding due to mass tourism.

While Venice has played host to high-profile celebrity weddings in the past, this one generated especially strong criticism. Demonstrators waved placards that had slogans like “Kisses yes, Bezos, no” and “No Bezos, no war.” One had “No space for Bezos,” targeting the Amazon chief’s space company, Blue Origin.

Lauren Sanchez Takes Bezos Name on Instagram After Wedding

June 28, 2025, 3:00 pm

Lauren Sanchez has now officially taken on her new last name on social media following her union with Jeff Bezos. The ex-news anchor changed both her name and handle on Instagram, now posted as Lauren Sanchez Bezos with the user name ‘@laurensanchezbezos’.

Only an hour ago, Lauren posted the first look at their lavish Venice wedding on Instagram. Notably, all other pictures on her feed have been archived, with only the wedding picture and the photo of her wearing her bridal gown still visible.

A Venetian Wedding

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were married on June 27, 2025, in a lavish black-tie ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice. Their multi-day celebration included a welcome dinner prior to the big event. The union was referred to as the ‘wedding of the century’.

The guest list was tinsel town affair, featuring big shots like Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, and many more. Indian celebrities like socialite Natasha Poonawalla and businessman Mona Patel also attended to join the celebrations.

Lauren’s Surprising Wedding Dress

On her special day, Lauren chose a traditional bridal appearance. Vogue reports that she wore down the aisle in a high-neck, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding gown by Dolce & Gabbana with a veil.

Jeff Bezos, who wanted a preview, has been said to have begged to view the dress first. “I almost gave in!” Sanchez admitted prior to the wedding. “But I want to surprise him. Once you get a little older, not that much surprises you anymore. I just can’t wait to see his face.”

Her decision surprised those who thought the bride would choose the red-carpet, strapless modern looks she frequently sports on the red carpet. To justify her choice, Lauren told Vogue, “It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that captures a moment,’ and where I am now. I am a different person than I was five years ago.”

She also captioned the gown in an Instagram post as “Not just a gown, a piece of poetry.”

Lauren Sánchez Flaunts $5 Million Pink Diamond Ring

June 28, 2025, 1:01 pm

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are ending their nearly two-year engagement with a lavish three-day wedding celebration in Venice, Italy. The celebrations started off with a welcome party in Madonna dell’Orto Church, according to Page Six, before the couple went on to their wedding ceremony on San Giorgio island in the Venetian lagoon on Friday, as per Reuters. Around 200-250 guests are estimated to be joining them in the festivities.

The extravagant party has unleashed widespread interest regarding the expenses. While some accounts put the wedding bill at about $10 million, others put it at higher costs.

About the Ring

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos popped the question to Sánchez in May 2023 with a stunning engagement ring that consists of an enormous pink diamond. Vogue described the ring as having a cushion-cut pink diamond surrounded by four prongs, set between small stones on the band and a pair of pavé halos.

Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, told FOX Business that the sparkling gem “looks to be close to 30 carats” based on images he reviewed. “Pink diamonds are extremely rare, one of the rarest in the world,” Fried said. “For several years, pink diamonds were discovered in the Argyle mines in western Australia, but they’ve now closed those mines. It is breathtaking to lay eyes on a pink diamond of that magnitude.”

A Diamond Worth Millions

Fried went on to estimate that Sánchez’s stunning ring would be worth an auction price of ‘about $5 million’ if it were to ever come on the open market, deeming it ‘really one of one’. He went on further to say, “It’s impossible to overstate the rarity of such an unusual pink diamond and a rough diamond that could be cut into a 30-carat polished diamond. Lauren’s ring might be a temporary fashion icon, but it will probably end up in a museum along with other symbolically valuable diamond jewelry collections.”

In an interview with Vogue, Sánchez remembered Bezos proposing in May in a nighttime proposal when he sneakily hid the ring under her pillow. She admitted she ‘blacked out a bit’ when he ‘opened the box’ to propose.

Jeff Bezos Marries Lauren Sanchez in Venice—First Photo of Newlyweds Revealed

June 28, 2025, 10:57 am

Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tied the knot Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice’s lagoon, out of the sight and sound of protesters.

“This city seems impossible! It can’t exist and yet, here it is!” an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist Thursday who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat.

But protesters had a different view, wondering how long Venice can endure: While the billionaires party, activists say the fragile city is sinking, overrun by tourists, and a victim of depopulation as locals unable to pay soaring rents are forced out.

“No Kings, No Bezos” read a sign in green neon projected on the St Mark’s Campanile tower on Thursday night.

– Serenaded –

Sanchez late Friday posted a photo on Instagram — under a new name, laurensanchezbezos — showing her in a long flowing white dress and him in black tie, though it did not provide any indication where it was taken.

Bezos and Sanchez, a former news anchor and entertainment reporter, celebrated their nuptials with guests including Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom.

The tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are staying at the Aman hotel, a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge.

Other A-list guests are staying at the Gritti Palace and the St. Regis.

The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports.

The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice’s iconic St Mark’s Square.

The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said.

Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said.

Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities.

– ‘Enchanted’ –

Wedding guests snapped by paparazzi as they hopped into boats included Jordan’s Queen Rania, French luxury goods executive Francois-Henri Pinault, American football player Tom Brady, US fashion designer Spencer Antle, the singer Usher, and Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner.

The guests reportedly lunched Thursday in the gardens of Villa Baslini, on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista.

The celebrations are set to end Saturday with a party likely at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse.

Bezos and Sanchez are donating three million euros ($3.5 million) to the city, according to Veneto’s regional president Luca Zaia, and are employing historic Venetian artisans.

Venice’s oldest pastry maker Rosa Salva is baking 19th-century “fishermen’s biscuits” for party bags that will also contain something by Laguna B, renowned for its handblown Murano glass.

Trump and her family visited a glass-blowing workshop on the small island of Murano on Wednesday, according to the owner.

“They were amazed and enchanted by the magic of glass,” Massimiliano Schiavon told the Corriere della Sera, adding that the family had a go at blowing glass.

Venice, home to the oldest film festival in the world, is used to VIPs whizzing around in speed boats, and happily hosted the star-studded nuptials of Hollywood actor George Clooney in 2014.

Some say this wedding too brings good business.

Italy’s tourism ministry said Friday it expected the wedding to bring the city nearly one billion euros, with about 895 million of that estimated to come from the “media visibility” generated.

But critics say Bezos, one of the world’s richest men and founder of a company regularly scrutinised for how it treats its workers, is different.

“Tax Billionaires”, read protest signs along canals.

“In the time it takes you to read this, Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased by more than your monthly salary”, they read in English and Italian.

Environmental activists have also pointed to the carbon footprint of the mega yachts and dozens of private jets — at least 95 — bringing the rich and famous to the city.

But Samuel Silvestri, a 55-year-old salesman, welcomed the extravaganza.

“Over-tourism is caused by those people who come with a backpack and their own food, and contribute very little,” he said, “not those who transform Venice into a mini-Monte Carlo. This marriage helps the image of the city.”

Italy’s health ministry has issued a red heat alert for Venice for the weekend, part of a heatwave affecting much of southern Europe.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are celebrating in Venice, Italy. But according to a new report, they are already married. The reports revealed that the couple tied the knot weeks ago. A source said, “The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.”

Celebration Begins in Venice

On Thursday, TMZ spotted the couple in a water taxi cruising through Venice. They appeared relaxed and cheerful.

At the same time, several celebrities arrived in the city. Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and Ivanka Trump were among them. So were Kim, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner.

Who Is Lauren Sanchez?

Lauren Sanchez was born in 1969 in New Mexico. She grew up in California. She came from a modest background. In an interview, she said, “I used to sleep in the back of my grandmother’s car when she would go clean houses.” Lauren added, “My family came from nothing.”

Sanchez studied journalism at the University of Southern California. She left in 1994 to start working in television.

Career in Media

She built a strong career as a reporter and anchor. Lauren worked for Fox Sports Net, Extra, and Good Day LA. She earned an Emmy nomination for her sports show Going Deep. In 1999, she won an Emmy for anchoring UPN News 13.

Later, she hosted Fox 11 News at Ten and co-hosted Good Day LA. She was also the first host of So You Think You Can Dance.

New Path in Aviation

At age 40, Sanchez became a licensed helicopter pilot. She said her father, a flight instructor, inspired her.

In 2016, she launched Black Ops Aviation. It was the first female-owned aerial film company. Her company has worked with Netflix and Amazon.

In 2024, she flew to space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. She joined Katy Perry and Gayle King on the suborbital flight.

Her Relationship with Jeff Bezos

Sanchez met Bezos while filming for Blue Origin. Her company had been hired for aerial footage. In 2019, Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott. That same year, Sanchez filed for divorce from Patrick Whitesell. They began dating soon after.

Engagement and Celebration

Bezos proposed in 2023. They celebrated with an engagement party aboard his yacht off the Amalfi Coast. Now, even though they are already married in the U.S., they are hosting a grand celebration in Venice.

Is Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez’s Wedding Invite Made on MS Paint? Netizens Wonder

June 26, 2025, 1:35 pm

While Venice has been bustling with preparations for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s opulent wedding, it’s their invitation card that has surprisingly taken center stage and not for the reasons many might think. Since Bezos is the world’s third-richest individual, the stakes were high on the wedding’s details. So when an image of their invitation appeared online, it went viral in no time, triggering large-scale debate and criticism.

The card, which is created with italic fonts and a combination of symbols among them doves, butterflies, shooting stars, gondoliers, and even the Rialto Bridge seems to be an homage to Venice. But there were those who were left underwhelmed by what they perceived was a mediocre execution. Its design, which was seen to be amateurish and clumisely ornate, came under fire.

Memes Flood Social Media

Some social media users did not let up. One cracked, “This invite appears to have been created by an 11-year-old,” and another snickered, “Was the invite drawn on Microsoft Paint?” Others labeled it “flat” and way short of what one would expect from a billionaire couple’s wedding. One critic even created a similar invite, saying that it only took him 15 minutes to create.

Certain readers criticized the amount of work that went into it, commenting, “What a cruel invite. Looks like a donor dinner business,” and another said, “This was the best idea their wedding planner had? Good grief, Lisa Vanderpump’s daughter from Housewives organized better than this for her wedding.”

Heartfelt Message Gets Overlooked

The invitation does have a heartfelt note requesting guests not to bring a gift. Instead, it says, “We are making donations in your honor and with thanks to you for coming all the way to celebrate with us in Venice. Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to protect the city’s cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the essential lagoon habitats that shield Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to assist in research and education for sustainable solutions.”

Although the sentiment of the donation was welcome by most, the visual appeal of the card did not live up to expectations one would have of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. One response captured it best with, “The donation is very generous, but the invitation itself is not what I would expect from a billionaire. I don’t know, it looks like clip art.”

In the meantime, Bezos and Sanchez have already landed in Venice to prepare for their pending wedding, which is likely to be held later this week.

Celebrities At Jeff Bezos Wedding

The Jeff Bezos wedding features stars from Hollywood, fashion, politics, and business. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Barbra Streisand, Karlie Kloss, and Gayle King were seen among the arriving guests. Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, Barry Diller, were also spotted boarding a water taxi.

Lauren Sanchez, a former journalist, has strong ties in both business and entertainment circles. That’s reflected in the powerful and glamorous list of attendees. The wedding also includes Canadian investor Michael Kives and his wife, Lydia. The event highlights the couple’s influence and ability to bring together major names from multiple industries.

Locals Criticise Wedding Disruption

While Jeff Bezos’ wedding brings global attention to Venice, many residents have voiced concern. The activists have said that the celebrations disrupted daily life and contributed to overtourism. The locals have reported heavy boat traffic, blocked streets, and media activity, which have affected normal routines.

Despite the backlash, the wedding celebrations continue this week. Some Venetians see the event as another example of the city being used for lavish displays. Others, however, welcomed the attention Venice received. The event remains one of the most talked-about weddings of the year.
