Kim Kardashian Dubs Friend Lauren Sanchez 'Legendary' In Venice Wedding Review
"The Kardashians" star publicly showered praise on her friend for pulling out all the stops to throw a beyond-fancy ceremony for herself and also give her guests a good time.
Kim Kardashian and several members of her family, including Kris Jenner, were present in Venice to witness Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos say their vows.
The mogul shared her version of events, high on the excitement of her elaborate Venice wedding, on her Instagram Story. It is not news that the reality star and Sanchez have maintained a close friendship for about two years.
Kardashian uploaded a pic of her pal from her Vogue cover shoot and captioned it "LEGENDARY." The picture featured the new bride leaning by the window, staring into space, with her lace veil hanging down.
The second slide was an image of Sanchez on the front cover of the editorial with her gorgeous wedding gown on full display. Kardashian could not hide her excitement as she wrote:
"What a beautiful bride you are @laurensanchezbezos!!! We all cried watching you walk down the aisle in pure bliss!"
Kardashian added in the next slide that the forest where Sanchez exchanged her vows was magical, but their love was undeniable, which was why they all enjoyed their friends' unwavering support for the day.
"Forever rooting for the happiest couple! You deserve it all," the reality star concluded and tagged their individual social media handles.
Kardashian and Sanchez's friendship has transitioned into more than just a Hollywood connection. According to The Daily Mail, a source revealed that the reality star adores Sanchez because she does not try to overshadow her and always compliments Kardashian at every opportunity.
She also reportedly enjoys the fact that Sanchez is content in her own world and has not tried becoming a reality star, actress, or business mogul like the SKIMS founder.
The 55-year-old also reportedly puts her excellent networking skills to use and is always ready to pull a string or two for her friend, another trait Kardashian is a huge fan of.
"And because Lauren is engaged to Jeff Bezos, she has so very major contacts, she has a massive Rolodex, her phone contact list is off the charts. She can call just about anyone up," the source disclosed back in March.
The journalist also has a very cordial friendship with Kris Jenner and never fails to run helpful ideas by her, born out of respect and mutual admiration.
Another fun fact is that the ladies have just a slight difference in their height. When the SKIMS founder clocked 44 last October, Sanchez was there to celebrate her.
The licensed pilot took to Instagram to tell anyone who cared to listen that Kardashian never fails to light up any room she enters. Sanchez and Kardashian have also vacationed in Europe together, having the best time on Bezos' multi-million-dollar yacht.
Kardashian was spotted chilling alongside Sanchez and Bezos at Chanel's 16th Annual Pre-Oscar Awards Dinner in March. The duo reportedly chatted deep into the night, as if they had known each other for years, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, which hosted the event.
Last September, Kim and Sanchez celebrated the launch of her new book together. More members of her family, including Khloé Kardashian, Kris, also graced the occasion.
Aside from Kardashian and her family, Sanchez also shares close relationships with other iconic figures in the entertainment industry.
According to PEOPLE, Katy Perry and her alleged former fiancé are top of their list of their closest friends. The party of four even took a trip to Croatia and Italy on Bezos' half-a-billion-dollar luxury yacht.
Perry joined Sanchez, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, and others in April for a history-making all-female space trip on Bezos' Blue Origin rocket. The "Roar" singer was also present at the journalist's bachelorette party in Paris.
She is also good friends with model Brooks Nader, and they have been spotted grabbing dinner multiple times in 2024. Sanchez and Jennifer Lopez are also very good friends, and she has admitted to looking up to the singer for fashion inspiration.
Nicky, Kathy, and Paris Hilton are listed among Sanchez's friends, with Kathy attending her book launch in 2024. Sanchez is equally great friends with Ivanka Trump, who attended her recent wedding in Venice.
Eva Longoria, Miranda Kerr, Jessica Alba, Nina García, and Jessica Seinfeld are all new members of Mrs. Bezos' close circle.
The iconic couple spared no expense in making their day feel like something out of a storybook. As reported by USA TODAY, the multi-day wedding ceremonies reportedly cost around $50 million.
While the actual cost has not been disclosed, the Venice regional governor noted that an impromptu venue change increased the price from approximately $34 million to around $55 million.
The Amazon founder and his wife began dating six years ago after jointly separating from their partners the same year. Bezos reportedly proposed to the journalist in 2023 during a trip on his luxury yacht.
Now that they are married, they have become a blended family of nine, with seven children between them: three from Sanchez and four from Bezos' previous marriage to MacKenzie Scott.
Kim Kardashian sure had a time at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' former chef says she's afraid of retaliation after verdict: ‘Fear for my safety'
The former personal chef to Sean 'Diddy' Combs says she now fears for her safety after the Bad Boy Records founder was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal sex trafficking trial. On Wednesday, the 'I'll Be Missing You' rapper, 55, was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted on two sex-trafficking charges and one racketeering charge. Following the verdict, Jourdan Atkinson — who alleges she was a witness and victim of his physical abuse during her tenure — sent a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian asking that Combs be denied bail while awaiting sentencing, which the judge ultimately agreed to.

The private chef was one of the government's witnesses, though she did not testify at the trial. Advertisement In the clips, Atkinson alleged that Combs had physically abused her during the time she had worked for him. 'This is a grave miscarriage of justice,' she said in the video. 'I stand on everything that I have always said.' She also alleged that she saw Combs abuse his ex-girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, of which there was proof in a hotel surveillance video shared by CNN last year. Advertisement 'I am not okay. I have not been okay. I do not feel safe. I do not know where to go from here,' Atkinson captioned her post. 'I stand with Cassie, as I always have. I do not understand the way this case was handled.

Bob Vylan's Career Has Been Destroyed by Glastonbury Performance: Experts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Bob Vylan's career may be in trouble following their controversial performance at Glastonbury, experts tell Newsweek. Over the weekend, the English punk rap duo sparked outrage at the music festival in the United Kingdom. During their set, they led crowds in a chant of "death, death to the IDF," referring to the Israeli Defense Forces. On October 7, 2023, Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, killing approximately 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages. In response, Israel launched a military operation that has killed more than 56,400 people in Gaza, per the Associated Press. On Saturday, the Avon and Somerset Police said on X, formerly Twitter, that they were looking into "whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation." In a separate post shared to the social media platform on Monday, authorities confirmed "a criminal investigation is now being undertaken." Bob Vylan will likely have a difficult time recovering from their Glastonbury performance, experts tell Newsweek. Bob Vylan will likely have a difficult time recovering from their Glastonbury performance, experts tell Newsweek. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Canva The BBC, which broadcast the music festival, issued an apology: "We deeply regret that such offensive and deplorable behavior appeared on the BBC and want to apologize to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. We are also unequivocal that there can be no place for antisemitism at, or on, the BBC." Bob Vylan—who uses the stage names Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan—responded to backlash on Instagram on Tuesday. "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine," they wrote. "We, like those in the spotlight before us, are not the story. We are a distraction from the story. And whatever sanctions we receive will be a distraction." Bob Vylan Suffers Consequences Earlier this week, the U.S. State Department revoked Bob Vylan's visas to the United States. "The @StateDept has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants," Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau wrote on X on Monday. "Foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country." The duo was also dropped by their agent UTA, Deadline reported. Will Bob Vylan's Career Recover? Lauren Beeching, founder of crisis PR firm Honest London, told Newsweek it's "looking increasingly unlikely" that Bob Vylan's career will recover from Glastonbury. "The chant wasn't subtle or up for interpretation. 'Death to the IDF' was broadcast live by the BBC, and the response has been fast and serious," Beeching said. "They've lost their U.S. visas, were dropped by their American booking agency UTA, and the BBC pulled the footage while issuing public apologies. Ofcom has confirmed it is investigating, and there's a criminal inquiry underway. This is not a controversy you ride out with a break from social media." Eric Schiffer, CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, added: "Bob Vylan saw America's 40-city ATM blow into bits with one 'death to IDF' chant that turned a seven-figure tour into a cesspool of self destruction. UTA's kiss-off and a federal visa shred turned Bob Vylan from buzz band to biohazard. U.S. bookers now treat their name like smallpox on a set list. UTA ditching them is the real body-blow because agents equal oxygen." Bob Vylan was scheduled to open for singer Grandson's tour this fall. "When the State Department slaps a no-fly list on your Fender guitars, the merch table moves from Madison Square to Minsk and your rider drops from Dom Pérignon to bring your own," Schiffer continued. "Agents dump you, visas vanish, cops investigate—welcome to the triple-crown of attempted career suicide. The Glastonbury spot is now radioactive nostalgia—future lineups will treat their clip like a deathtrap warning reel." Bobby Vylan, of Bob Vylan, performs on the West Holts stage during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Bobby Vylan, of Bob Vylan, performs on the West Holts stage during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 28, 2025 in Glastonbury, Coleman, a crisis communication consultant and director of Amanda Coleman Communication Ltd, argued, however, that "the future of Bob Vylan is in the hands of their audience and whether they are prepared to continue to follow them despite this furor. "Even if the artist is prevented from traveling, they can continue to grow an audience online," Coleman explained. "During the COVID-19 pandemic, artists proved you could use social media and technology to stream and continue to grow an audience. If the social media companies cut them off, there will always be alternative channels to move onto." She added that "Bob Vylan have had more coverage since the Glastonbury Festival appearance, and many more people will know who they are." "I don't believe that all publicity is good publicity," Coleman said. "Their behavior has caused significant damage to them and has outraged many, but whether this is a fatal blow to their future is in the hands of their fans and followers." Bob Vylan's Net Worth Takes Big Hit Bob Vylan's net worth will most certainly be impacted after their Glastonbury set, Beeching tells Newsweek. "Touring is usually the main source of income for independent artists, and they were due to open for American singer Grandson's U.S. tour in October and November. That's now off the table following their visa revocation. The cancellation means lost fees, scrapped merch sales, and the breakdown of future international revenue," she shared. "Being dropped by UTA also ends access to global booking networks, corporate stages, and brand tie-ins. Even if those opportunities weren't fully developed yet, they were within reach. Now, anyone looking to work with them commercially would have to factor in reputational risk and likely backlash. That alone shrinks their options." Beeching said it was important to note that "being dropped by a booking agent like UTA is different from being dropped by a label." "Bob Vylan are independent and release music themselves. So while they don't have a label to sever ties with, losing agency support cuts off live revenue opportunities, tour planning, and international expansion," she explained. "You don't need a label to build a career anymore, but you do need access, and that's what's just been taken away." Beeching made it clear, however, that despite criticism, they will also "likely gain fans from this, especially those who view the backlash as censorship or hypocrisy." "They haven't been erased, but they have been repositioned." While Bob Vylan may also still earn money "through streaming, direct fan support and U.K. performances," the "ceiling has lowered." "From a PR and commercial strategy perspective, this shifts them from being a politically provocative act with growth potential to one the industry will now avoid. That doesn't mean financial collapse, but it does mean their future is far more limited than it was two weeks ago."
