Leonardo DiCaprio 's girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti was the picture of elegance in a chic black dress on Friday as she attended the star-studded $20M Venice wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
The model, 27, who has been dating the 50-year-old Hollywood actor for two years, was all smiles as she left the Gritti Palace Hotel before being helped into a water taxi.
Vittoria's simple black dress featured a plunging V-neck, which she accessorised with a diamond choker necklace and diamond stud earrings.
With her hair swept into an elegant bun, the Italian beauty was all smiles as she made her way to the wedding venue alongside the likes of Natasha Poonawalla and Edward Enninful.
Meanwhile, her partner Leonardo was seen heading to the nuptials separately, where he was then mocked over his bizarre penchant for a low sitting baseball cap.
The Oscar winner is known for his trademark baseball cap but took the look to a new extreme at the wedding festivities as he pulled the LA Lakers hat comically down over his eyes and nose while stepping out.

Despite being instantly recognizable as a Hollywood A-lister and clad in a tux for the wedding, the slimmed-down star still tried to hide as his hat fell over his face - leading amused fans to compare him to a 'baby elephant hiding behind a tree.'
One fan wrote: 'Leo's giving baby elephant' while a second typed: 'The way Leo is wearing that hat is beyond parody.'
Others typed: 'Leo trying to hide because he's embarrassed to been seen there or what?
'What a sellout. Youre a climate activist you say, Leo?
'Leonardo DiCaprio we can still see you…
'Leo has great advice which he doesn't follow himself. I'm sure there's a word for that...
'He dresses like that pretty much all the time unless he's doing a big event or publicity, I think he doesn't want to be recognized/approached by the general public which honestly I would do the same if I happened to be famous. Gross of him to go to this regardless tho.'

Cheers erupted as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez exchanged vows at their $20 million Venetian wedding in front of their glamorous celebrity friends.
A-List stars including Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump and Usher are among stars who've traveled to the private island by water to watch the romantic nuptials take place.
Described as the 'wedding of a century', the 61-year-old Amazon founder and one of the world's richest men and his bride-to-be, 55, have welcomed nearly 200 VIPs to Venice for three days of lavish celebrations.
It was recently revealed Bezos and Sanchez have already married legally ahead of today's ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island. I
It came as guests including Kylie Jenner were forced to take cover from a freak thunderstorm during the couple's pre-wedding party inside the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters.
A-listers Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom jetted in to Italy earlier this week for the nuptials which come two years after Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him on his $500 million superyacht.
Stars were forced to take cover on Thursday as the couple's pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm.
The lavish event held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters marked the start of the billionaire couple's lavish three-day wedding in Venice, Italy, which will come to a close on Saturday.
However, Thursday night's star-studded soiree was brought to an early end due to the intense downpour.
Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightening bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 96.8° Fahrenheit.
Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time.
The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees.

Ivanka Trump sparks security fears at Jeff Bezos wedding with intimate photo 'revealing location'
Ivanka Trump has sparked security fears after she potentially revealed the new location of the star-studded wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The three-day party, $48 million affair in Venice had a last minute venue change due to protests from angry locals and global tensions arising from the US strike on Iran over this past weekend. Ivanka has ignited concerns after she posted a photo of her hotel room number alongside several pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner in their formal attire. 'Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends, Lauren Sanchez and @JeffBezos,' she posted on X on Thursday afternoon. The image set contained a photograph of a white door with the couple's room number and the word 'Dolce Vita' written on the front. It immediately sparked concerned replies from eagle-eyed social media users. 'Did you dox location by posting the photo of that door?' one person replied to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people. The pre-wedding festivities began Thursday with what was believed to be the rehearsal dinner, an event attended by a long list of celebrities. They include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, all of whom were dressed to the nines. Ivanka and Kushner were seen arriving in Venice ahead of the event in a gondola. The couple previously jetted in with their children Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 10, and Theodore James, eight. The first daughter shared snaps of her and husband Jared Kushner, but included one image which may have given away the location of the exclusive event One person replied with concern to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people Ivanka is one of the most insulated guests at the wedding, since she has a Secret Service detail that is no doubt causing a headache for other partygoers. A heavy police presence has been spotted in the city ahead of the nuptials, while divers were seen conducting sweeps of the canals. On Thursday, the bride was seen sporting terrifyingly tight corset for the party, while her Amazon billionaire groom was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and sunglasses. Bezos held out his hand as he and Sanchez stepped aboard a water taxi, before the the couple shared a quick kiss in front of adoring fans. Ivanka and her family jetted off to Venice on Tuesday to make the wedding. The family has been seeing enjoying the sites, spotted getting into a water taxi to explore the city on Wednesday. Ivanka has been sharing their trip to social media, posting some snaps from the family vacation later on in the day. 'Da Venezia, con amore,' she captioned a series of photos, which translates to 'From Venice, with love.' The upcoming wedding seems to be a family affair for Ivanka, as other members of the Trump family are rumored to be among the 200 guests. The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night, but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media. A source revealed to Daily Mail that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. Bezos' superyacht, Koru, which includes a bronze goddess statue that shares similarities with his lover Sanchez, is also in the area, moored off the coast of Croatia, which is located across from Italy in the Mediterranean. However, not all are happy about Bezos taking over the city for days. On Monday, Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner in St Mark's Square, the iconic heart of Venice protesting against the wedding. It showed an image of Bezos face and the slogan: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.' Activists from British group 'Everyone Hates Elon' were also involved and said they had carried it out to highlight the, 'environmental and social injustice of the wedding'. One said: 'Bezos encapsulates an economic and social model which is steering us towards collapse. 'All to often now social injustice travels on an equal par with the climate, on one side the arrogance of a few billionaires who have a lifestyle that devastates the planet, the other people who suffer daily from the environment crisis.' These demonstrations are part of the reason why Bezos chose to move part of the wedding elsewhere. He's also hired a team of former US marines to provide security for the event. The actual wedding ceremony is set to kick off on Friday.

Tyson Fury's true feelings on retirement revealed following conversations with WBC president
Tyson Fury insists he's retired... but that doesn't mean he's at peace. The Gypsy King has kept up regular contact with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman since hanging up his gloves for the fourth time following his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in December last year. And while Fury is adamant he's done with boxing, it's clear the decision in that rematch — when all three judges called the fight 116-112 to Usyk — still stings. Sulaiman told Sky Sports this week: 'I call him regularly and he said: "Oh I'm so happy, retired, I'm here with my wife." 'He didn't hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back. 'He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. He's still very bitter about the judges' scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that's what he said.' It's a glimpse into the mindset of a fighter who has danced with retirement almost as often as he has with his rivals in the ring. Fury may claim he is content to be out of the sport, but the frustration of that unanimous points loss is a reminder that the fire still burns. Even Sulaiman can't rule out a comeback, adding: 'Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we'll hear him say: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" We don't know…' Despite Fury's insistence that he is retired, the heavyweight division continues to buzz with speculation about another comeback. In April, Fury linked back up with trainer SugarHill Steward in the gym, filming himself and teasing: 'You know what's coming.' He has also revealed he's been enjoying twice-daily training sessions and sharing his love of working out on social media. With Anthony Joshua still waiting for that long-awaited 'Battle of Britain' clash, promoter Eddie Hearn recently admitted the ball was firmly in Fury's court. 'The way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, "Mate, do you fancy it?" And he'll go, "100 per cent, let's f***ing do it," Hearn said.

EXCLUSIVE Baywatch actress Erika Eleniak, 55, began as a child star in E.T. and later modeled for Playboy... see her now
The actress Erika Eleniak looked unrecognizable when she was spotted in Los Angeles this week. The 55-year-old film and television star is best known for starring on Baywatch for three years, from 1989 to 1992. She played Shauni McLain, the original female lead in the show's first two seasons. Although Baywatch — which suffered the tragic loss of one of its stars earlier this year — was unloved by critics and was even canceled by its original network NBC after just one season, the David Hasselhoff–starring series managed to live on in syndication for ten more seasons. Before her stint on Baywatch, Erika made her film debut in Steven Spielberg 's E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial in 1982, and she later changed up her image as a Playboy Playmate later that decade. Now, more than four decades after she got her big break in Hollywood, takes a look at what Erika looks like now. The actress and one-time model was pictured out in Los Angeles this week as she took her adorable black-and-white dog for a walk. Erika looked worlds apart from the clean-cut blonde who previously graced television screens across the nation. The most obvious changes was the sleeves of tattoos on her arms running from under her T-shirt sleeves all the way to her hands. The ink was a striking departure from her Baywatch days, when she showed off plenty of unmarked skin. Erika's tattoos suited her casual outfit, which included a black graphic T-shirt featuring the fairy Tinker Bell from Disney's 1953 animated film Peter Pan. 'Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust,' it read, referencing a line from the movie. She kept the low-key vibe going with black cargo shorts that had a rainbow with pink, white and gray stripes running down one leg, and she matched the stripes with her pink slide sandals. The actress accessorized with a black leather hip bag and wore her shoulder-length blond hair parted down the middle and turned up at the ends. The actress and one-time model was pictured out in Los Angeles this week as she took her adorable black-and-white dog for a walk Erika explained how she changed up her appearance with tattoos during the most recent episode of the Still Here Hollywood podcast with Steve Kmetko. She revealed that she started her tattoos on her back sometime in her 'late 20s,' which would have been after her stint on Baywatch ended at the start of the third season. 'Every tattoo that I have is significant of something,' she said, citing on that had her mother's name for example. 'I love tattoos. I love that my body is a canvas to tell my stories,' she added. Erika was born in Glendale, California, to parents of Ukrainian, Estonian and German descent whose family had previously settled in Canada. She made a memorable star turn in feature films in 1982 when she was cast as a girl who kisses the film's child star, Henry Thomas, during a classroom scene in which he's psychically influenced by the eponymous alien. Her next film role was in 1983's Imps*, which only received a belated release in 2009. In 1987, she began appearing on television with guest roles on Silver Spoons, Still the Beaver and Boys Will Be Boys. She said she started her tattoos on her back in her 'late 20s,' after her stint on Baywatch. 'Every tattoo that I have is significant of something,' she said, citing on that had her mother's name for example. 'I love tattoos. I love that my body is a canvas to tell my stories,' she added After a multi-year absence, she returned to film to play one of the victims in 1988's gross-out remake of The Blob, which is now considered a science fiction horror cult classic. She followed it up with roles in bigger budget films, including the Steven Seagal action film Under Siege, the 1993 film adaptation of The Beverly Hillbillies, the 1995 rom-com A Pyromaniac's Love Story and the 1996 Tales From The Crypt spinoff film Bordello Of Blood. Her subsequent films in the late '90s, 2000s and 2020s were less frequent and were small-budget independent productions. Erika's most recently film was 2024's Lolipop Gang, in which she appeared as herself five years after her previous film role. As she was starting to appear in more high-profile films, she also had a three-episode run opposite Scott Baio on Charles In Charge in 1989 before beginning her stint on Baywatch. She appeared in the show's TV movie pilot Panic At Malibu Pier as Shauni McClain before joining the main cast for the first two seasons. Her character started up a relationship with Billy Warlock's character Eddie Kramer, and they married at the beginning of the third season and moved to Australia, ending her time on the series. The actors were also engaged in real life at one point. The beginning of her Baywatch career in 1989 coincided with her appearing on the cover of the July 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine Just before her stint on Baywatch, Erika appeared as a Playmate on the July 1989 cover of Playboy Magazine when her roommate, a model for the magazine, introduced her to its photo editor, who encouraged her to model 'I viewed it as a modeling job,' she clarified on Still Here Hollywood, and she stressed that she always considered herself 'an actress who did Playboy,' rather than a real Playmate The beginning of her Baywatch career in 1989 coincided with her appearing on the cover of the July 1989 issue of Playboy Magazine. Just before her stint on Baywatch, Erika appeared as a Playmate on the July 1989 cover of Playboy Magazine when her roommate, a model for the magazine, introduced her to its photo editor, who encouraged her to model. Erika said she became known as 'the difficult' Playmate in the late '80s because she found shooting for the magazine uncomfortable and bristled at ideas from photographers. 'I viewed it as a modeling job,' she clarified on Still Here Hollywood, and she stressed that she always considered herself 'an actress who did Playboy,' rather than a real Playmate. Erika later married the bodybuilder Philip Golgia in 1998, but they divorced after just six months. In the early 2000s she began dating the film worker Roch Daigle, and they moved to Calgary, Canada, before tying the knot in 2005 and later welcoming a daughter together. Erika's most recent project was narrating an eight-episode podcast series, The Murder Years, from last year, according to IMDb.
