Lauren Sánchez embraced 'her inner Hollywood siren' with 'classic lingerie styling' for post-wedding party in a Versace gown, says stylist - but added a hidden 'playful and romantic' detail
Lauren Sanchez Bezos has embraced her 'her inner Hollywood siren' by styling classy lingerie for her final wedding party, according to a style expert.
The newly-wedded Mrs Bezos, 55, could not stop beaming as she stepped out of the Aman Hotel in Venice alongside her new Amazon billionaire husband Jeff Bezos while heading to a post-wedding event on Saturday evening.
The newlyweds threw Dolce Notte (Italian for sweet night) themed event where guests donned classy evening wear which consisted of lingerie and pyjama-inspired ensembles.
Lauren - eager to be the star of the show at her nupitals - dazzled in a head pleated rose pink Atelier Versace gown designed by Donatella Versace herself.
The show-stopping ballgown was made of silk chiffon and had a bodice which was hand embroidered with an array of rose gold, bronze, and gold Swarovski crystals.
The former journalist paired this look with a black jewel-encrusted clutch bag which read: 'Mrs. Bezos' with clear diamonds as she showed off her new status to the world.
Stylist Lisa Talbot said that Lauren swapped her elegant daytime looks for 'full-on evening drama' in which she unlocked her 'inner Hollywood siren'.
She told MailOnline: 'The strapless silhouette hugged her figure to perfection, with intricate beadwork and sheer panelling that added both structure and sensuality. The bodice, corset-inspired in its fit, gave a nod to classic lingerie styling, while the soft pleated panels through the skirt introduced graceful movement as she stepped onto the boat.
'The combination of sheer inserts and light-catching embellishments gave the dress an ethereal quality glamorous but never overpowering.'
Lisa said that Lauren's look was 'the perfect blend of sensual and sophisticated' and serves as a reminder that she 'understands the impact of fashion storytelling, particularly on the global stage'.
Lisa said she believes that Lauren would've spent much time constructing this look right down to the very final detail, as seen with her glamorous new bag.
Speaking of the 'Mrs Bezos' bag, she added: 'The playful, romantic touch added a charming twist to her otherwise ultra-glamorous ensemble and couldn't have been more fitting for a bride-to-be celebrating the hours after saying "I do."
'Paired with sleek, cascading waves and elegant drop earrings, this look was Lauren Sánchez in her fashion prime: confident, unapologetically glamorous, and fully embracing the spotlight.'
Lauren and Jeff sealed their day of love with a kiss as they made their way to their final party after a three-day wedding extravaganza.
Waving to crowds from her balcony at the Aman Venice Hotel, the new Mrs Bezos stepped out in a figure-hugging pink embellished dress with a fishtail bottom.
The happy couple shared a smooch for all to see before whizzing away down a Venice canal.

Oprah Winfrey, Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Leonardo DiCaprio were also seen making their way to former medieval shipyard the Arsenale to close the nuptials.
A flotilla of paparazzi boats followed Jeff and Lauren and other VIPs as they made their way along the lagoon in private water taxis.
Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people were gathering for a final night's fun. Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga were expected to be among a host of performers.
Bezos, 61, worth £177billion, has taken 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.'
But Bezos and Sanchez, 55, cared not a jot. It was the second marriage for both and they have seven children between them.
Earlier, they blew kisses on a visit to Harry's Bar yesterday – and give a first glimpse of their understated wedding rings.
Sanchez's simple wedding band was in stark contrast to the 30-carat $3million pink diamond she sported after Bezos asked her to marry him two years ago.
In the run-up to Friday's ceremony, that sparkler was switched to her right to make way for an upgrade – an even larger, brilliant-white diamond, estimated at 35 carats and worth $10million.
They married in a luxurious ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.
Vogue later released a set of pictures, with a braless Sanchez posing in her new husband's unbuttoned wedding shirt.
The Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo shirt was similar to the one he wore at Friday's ceremony.
The photoshoot took place earlier this month, the day after Sánchez and Bezos were at the Dolce & Gabbana atelier in central Milan for their final fittings.
She revealed 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 told the magazine that a few conventions were to be honoured, including the groom not seeing the bride just before the wedding day.
The marriage is the second for both Bezos and Sanchez, who have seven children between them
Bill Gates was spotted leaving Hotel Regis after attending the wedding
US model Brooks Nader was seen wearing a black ensemble as she left the Gritti Palace Hotel for the third day's celebrations
Her Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings, four diamonds cut from a single stone and inlaid in white gold, were her something borrowed.
Her something blue was from Blue Origin, the spaceflight she took with five other women, including the singer Katy Perry, that was arranged by Bezos.
Sánchez said 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.'
She credited her new husband for 'transforming my life'.

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.

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.

Kendall Jenner sparks debate in divisive fashion trend as she exits Bezos-Sánchez wedding
Kendall Jenner looked relaxed as she left Venice on Sunday following her attendance at the star-studded wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. The 29-year-old model kept her look simple, opting for a pair of knee-length black leggings and a beige athleisure top as she disembarked from a water taxi en route to the airport. The influencer styled her long, dark hair straight and wore natural-looking makeup behind a pair of dark sunglasses. The runway veteran sparked a bit of controversy with her choice of footwear, stepping out in a pair of clear jelly sandals. Other celebrities—such as Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lawrence—have also embraced the nostalgic style, which was popular in the early 1980s. The mostly inexpensive shoes now seem just as at home in casual looks like Jenner's as they are in high-end ensembles, especially during the summer months. Depending on the brand, pairs of jellies can retail for anywhere from $25 to hundreds of dollars. However, in the era of fast fashion, the shoes, made from PVC plastic are controversial due to their environmental impact. Kendall's younger singer Kylie, 27, took a much bolder approach as she exited the ancient city. She wore a brown and black sleeveless animal print top with a matching pair of boot cut pants. Her choice of footwear was a pair of black flipflops. The influencer styled her hair is a low bun with tendrils framing her face. She too wore natural looking makeup with dark sunglasses. The Kylie Cosmetics mogul was seen holding the hand of her daughter Stormi, seven, as they walked down the ramp. The model, 29, kept her look simple, opting for a pair of knee length black leggings and a simple beige athleisure top as she disembarked a taxi taking her to the airport The elementary schooler looked adorable in a ruffled charcoal gray top and skirt. Kylie shared some photos of the ride with Stormi and her son Aire, three from the gondola ride to the airport. The toddler looked sweet in a black T-shirt and jeans. 'Just me, my babies, and Kevin, muffin, puppy, & monkey,' she said referring to the kids' toys of choice for the long trip home.
