Leonardo DiCaprio continues trying to stay under the radar by hiding his face under both a hat and hoodie as he and girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti leave Venice after Bezos wedding extravaganza
Leonardo DiCaprio continued his attempts to pass unrecognised as he departed Venice on Sunday morning, following Saturday night's final party of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding extravaganza.
The movie star, 50, was joined by his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, 27, at the swanky three-day celebration, with the couple making their exit alongside fellow actor Orlando Bloom.
And despite being one of Hollywood's most famous leading men, Leo attempted to keep a low profile by covering his face throughout his journey to the airport.
Climbing into the waiting Venetian water taxi, he hid beneath his trademark low sitting baseball cap and for extra concealment, pulled up his hooded jumper over his head.
In contrast, his girlfriend of two years, Vittoria, put on a leggy display in a fashionable summer minidress, as she received a helping hand onto the boat.
As Leo disappeared to the lower decks, the model remained stood up at the back of the boat and chatted to Orlando as they sped towards the mainland.
Orlando flashed a wide grin as he climbed aboard, wearing a button-up shirt left open to reveal a white vest underneath and several pendant necklaces.
Hollywood's newest bachelor embraced his new single status on the Italian getaway, coming just after news broke that he and his fiancée Katy Perry, 40, had called off their engagement.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star was spotted in the back of a Venetian water taxi with a woman on Thursday, who was later revealed to be Jamie Mizrahi, 36, who was actually a former stylist for Katy and Meghan Markle.
Orlando was also spotted enjoying a Venetian brunch the following morning and sipping on cocktails poolside with celebrity pals Leo and Tom Brady during a boys' day out.
Described as the 'wedding of a century,' Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday.
The nuptials began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice, followed by the intimate ceremony on Friday and then a star-studded rave.
Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people were gathering for a final night's fun, and many of the VIP guests were spotted bidding goodbye to the Italian city the following morning, including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates.
The Amazon founder, worth £177billion, took over the Italian city for a wedding estimated to have cost up to £40million, small change for the world's third richest man.

But 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia railway station carrying protest banners and waving inflatable crocodiles.
The demo was organised by the No Space For Bezos group, with some carrying Amazon boxes with the words: 'Ordered, Shipped, Delivered, Rejected.'
While insiders revealed that the billionaire and journalist were already legally married, with a source closely connected to the organisation of the week's events saying: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month.
'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.'
The source added: 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required.
'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.'
The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune.
The wedding, held two years after Bezos proposed to Sanchez aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as 'extremely intimate' with a strict no-phone policy - with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members.
The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Sanchez's official Instagram account - and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce.
She revealed to Vogue her wedding dress was inspired by the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat.
She also revealed that Bezos had begged to see her in the gown, but as is tradition for most brides, she explained that she wasn't going to let him lay his eyes upon it until the big day.
'I almost gave in,' she admitted. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.'
This was not the only tradition the couple stuck with: Sanchez also donned 'something borrowed' for the ceremony - a pair of Dolce earrings.
And she explained to Vogue that her 'something blue' was from her Blue Origin flight, revealing she carried a secret souvenir up in the rocket so she could bring it back for Bezos 'because it was one of the most profound experiences I've had in my life.'
Sánchez went on: 'Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn't describe it. It was the greatest experience I've ever had'.
The Bezos couple are thought to have splashed out a staggering $20million on their multiple-day extravagant wedding bash.
As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir.
That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment.
Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.
The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.

How was it for you? Jeff Bezos's wedding guests, ranked in order of happiness
There comes a point in any multi-day wedding when the mood takes a subtle but irreversible turn from sheer jubilation to near incarceration. When the esprit de corps that radiated from guests during welcome cocktails on Thursday night has entirely evaporated, to the extent that at least six people among the party have idly daydreamed about a massacre. When all small talk dried up several days ago, during the colour-coded warm-up pre-lunch wedding-eve-eve game of rounders, meaning even childhood friends are simply standing in barren silence, flat champagne in one hand, thicket of dirty bamboo skewers in the other. When dozens of people have French-exited to avoid the day-four life drawing and tarot after-after-after party, despite the airport being a six-hour taxi ride away and there being no flights until March. It's a volta you so rarely see caught on camera – usually because the photographer died of exhaustion shortly after the first dance – which is why we must treasure the below image of Bill Gates. Here is a deeply serious, respected 69-year-old man who absolutely does not want to go to a dolce notte pyjamas-and-lingerie party with Orlando Bloom and some of the Kardashians, but alas, he RSVP'd and gave his dietary requirements. His sentence is written. Gates was in Venice as a guest at the little-reported union of Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sánchez. In the build-up, 'the wedding of the century', according to Vogue – a big call, 25 years in and when Prince Louis is showing such promise as a party guy – saw the Floating City at risk of sinking under the weight of expectation, but it seems to have gone off without incident. (Not that we'd have known if it hadn't: despite so many press photographers descending on Venice that we'd have had to resort to watercolours of the scene if news had broken at home, all we got were galleries of celebrities impatiently waiting for water taxis.) Who exactly are Bezos and Sánchez's friends, given one is a businessman of near Bond-villain wealth and notoriety and the other is a journalist turned helicopter pilot? A good question, and one we're no closer to answering after a £34million feature-length weekend of felicity that included a foam party, a Great Gatsby-themed party, the aforementioned jim-jam jamboree and, at some point, a wedding. We were promised an A-list crowd and we… only sort of got it. There were superstars, foreign dignitaries, fashion doyennes, middling celebrities and miscellaneous rich people, but the thread between most of them and the happy couple was rarely clear. What seemed more likely was that invitations were sent to the 1,000 wealthiest and most famous people on the planet, and around 200 thought: 'Yeah, why not? I'm free that weekend.' By Sunday morning, some may have been regretting that decision. So, here are 10 guests, ranked from least to most happy to be there. It's pure speculation, of course, but this we do know: right now, they never want to see one another again. 10) Bill Gates The former world's richest man likely attended the wedding of another former world's richest man out of curiosity. 'It's been a while. What are guys like me doing for second weddings these days? I should go check Jeff's out,' he might have thought, looking tenderly across at his new girlfriend, Paula Hurd. The haunted look in his eyes in those day-three pyjamas suggests he will not be rushing into marriage again. There's simply no way Gates didn't make his excuses to Ellie Goulding or whoever he was chatting to, and then pretend to take a call, before jumping in a water Uber within 10 minutes of arriving. 9) Sydney Sweeney It's a puzzle, quite why the most in-demand young actress in the world at the moment, a 27-year-old woman so desired that she's literally selling soap made from her own bathwater, decided to travel to Venice to attend the wedding of a 61-year-old e-commerce magnate. It's something to do, I guess. Hopefully she arrived with a suitcase full of that soap to flog, as she reportedly proved a hit – especially with famous men in their late 40s who have recently split up with famous women. 'Tom Brady and Sydney Sweeney fuel romance buzz after 'dancing til 2am' at Bezos wedding blowout,' shrieked one headline. 'Newly single Orlando Bloom spotted hanging out with Sydney Sweeney in Venice,' read another. According to an 'insider' the Daily Mail found, 'Sydney apparently is the most sought-after person to be around at the Bezos wedding. Everyone wants to talk to her, and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life.' We know how Bloom's cleaning himself tonight, then. 8) Queen Rania of Jordan You may be starting to get an idea of how delightfully chaotic this guest list is, and it really is. In fact, there's a very real chance the following conversation took place: 'Hello, I'm Khloé Kardashian, who are you?' 'Hi, I'm the Queen of Jordan. What do you do?' 'Well, I'm one of the stars of Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the founder of protein popcorn brand Khloud. And you?' 'I'm the Queen of Jordan.' And so on. 7) Sam Altman Speaking of artificial intelligence, here's Sam Altman. He's a tech billionaire, so it is at least easy to understand why the OpenAI boss might have met Bezos and become friends with him. Trickier to parse is how the socially reclusive, firmly nerdish, famously serious Altman dealt with being at a pounding foam party with Oprah, Gayle King, and unlimited blush rosé. Thoughts and prayers. 6) Leonardo DiCaprio For reasons we can only guess at, Leonardo DiCaprio always appears in public looking like a housemaster from a small Home Counties private school scurrying out of Westminster Magistrates' Court after being found guilty in a case relating to him leaving a GoPro in the sixth form girls' dormitory. That is: cap pulled down to the goatee, stiff palm out for guidance, a quick shuffle to a car, no questions please. This was the case again at the wedding in Venice, an event he agreed to attend despite one of the party themes being The Great Gatsby – which is a bit like Daniel Radcliffe hanging around in the car park at Warner Bros Studios. 5) Orlando Bloom Is it possible for an entire wedding to have 'big divorce energy'? Well, this one did. Not only were Bezos and Sánchez on their second weddings, but a curious number of guests, from Brady to Ellie Goulding, divorced recently and used the weekend to be noticeably single. Orlando Bloom and the astronaut Katy Perry were never technically married, but news of their recent split after nine years together still threatened to steal Sánchez and Bezos's thunder when it broke this week. As it happened, Perry is on tour (on Earth) and couldn't attend. Bloom, then, planned to use the weekend to 'relaunch' himself in a new phase of his life, or so we were told. And you'd have to say that this is an easier way of doing that than finding a good film project. 4) Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Is it likely they attended purely to experience the giddy rush of being at a high-profile event where protestors were chanting and threatening to shut down the whole thing but not because of them? No, they probably know the couple. But is it possible? Yes, absolutely. 3) Lauren Sánchez She's only behind Jeff because no man has ever looked happier than Jeff. Also, she went to space earlier this year, so it's debatable whether this is actually her highlight of 2025. 2) Jeff Bezos Just look at him. Imagine his rocket. Sorry. 1) Kris Jenner The ultimate culmination of so much momaging, so much glad-handing, one heroic stint commentating on that space flight and probably so many emails asking whether invitations have been sent out yet. She did it. The whole gang (minus Kourtney and Rob) at the wedding of the second or third most powerful man in the world. No wonder she didn't stop smiling. Though it's not entirely clear what other option she has.

Jessica Alba's lookalike daughter Honor, 17, quietly steals the spotlight at Bezos-Sánchez wedding
Jessica Alba 's teenage daughter Honor is all grown up. The 44-year-old actress-turned-entrepreneur was accompanied by her firstborn child, 17-year-old Honor, at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's Venice wedding.

Her long, honey-toned locks were arranged in a center part and sultry, fluffy waves that fell over her chest. The mother-of-three, who filed for divorce in February, carried a ivory-colored Chanel handbag. Baby2Baby co-CEO Kelly Sawyer was also in Jessica's carousel post, posing for a selfie. Sanchez and Bezos headed to their final party in Venice on Saturday night after a three-day wedding extravaganza. Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people gathered for a final night of celebration. Oprah Winfrey, Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the A-listers on the celebrity-filled guest list. Sharing her separation from Warren earlier this year, Alba wrote online: 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash.' The message continued, 'I'm proud of how we've grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth an evolution as individuals.' Despite the breakup, she paid tribute to her ex with a heartfelt message on Father's Day two weeks ago. 'Happy Father's Day, @cash_warren,' the movie star wrote to her estranged spouse. It was written over a throwback photo featuring the film producer cradling their newborn son while their daughters looked on.

Karl Lagerfeld's ‘secret villa' could be yours for a cool €4.6m
Karl Lagerfeld spent years overseeing a meticulous renovation of his 19th-century 'secret villa' near Paris, ripping out its old-fashioned parquet flooring and many of its ceiling mouldings, redecorating it in a futuristic style. He had a ground-floor room transformed into a replica of his boyhood bedroom in his parents' home near Hamburg, adding leopard-print wallpaper and an original Louis XVI bed. On the lawn beside the pool house was a fenced-off play area for Choupette, his beloved Burmese cat. And yet the late fashion designer never lived in the Pavillon de Voisins and spent the night there only once, according to members of his entourage. Rather than sleeping in the mansion he would stay in an ultra-modern glass house beside the swimming pool in the property's five acres of grounds.
