They celebrated their nuptials with around 200 guests, including numerous celebritiesAfter tying the knot in a black-tie wedding in Venice, Italy, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez celebrated with a pajama party — and some of their guests really leaned into the theme.
On Saturday, June 28, numerous stars were photographed making their way via water taxi to the post-wedding bash. While some opted for formal attire, others embraced the dress code and sported stylish PJ sets, dressing gowns, robes and the like.
Usher made a statement in a blue tuxedo look with a twist. Instead of a traditional jacket, he wore a long robe with white piping details.
Leonardo DiCaprio wore a burgundy pajama set, topped with a black jacket, and Brian Grazer walked on the wild side in an animal-print set.
Bill Gates put a designer spin on the theme in Prada pajamas, while Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King both opted for glamorous looks.
The former talk show host wore a shimmery bronze ensemble featuring feather-trimmed cuffs, while the CBS News journalist rocked a tank dress topped with a colorful patterned robe.
Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, went for a more sultry take on the theme, stepping out in a revealing corseted look with sheer stockings and garters.
Lauren revealed the fun detail about the pajama party to Vogue, telling the magazine she planned to wear an Atelier Versace strapless georgette dress detailed with crystal mesh embroidery, along with a matching dressing gown, for the occasion.
As for the newlyweds' guests, they were gifted the perfect footwear for the pajama party.
The men received Vibi Venezia blue velvet Venetian slippers, and the women were given plush, black open-toe slippers from Amazon, according to Vogue. 'So you have a little of both!' Lauren — who, shortly after the ceremony, changed her name on her Instagram bio to Lauren Sánchez Bezos — told the outlet.
For the main event on Friday, June 27, Lauren walked down the aisle — escorted by her two sons, Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19 — in a custom-designed Dolce & Gabbana dress, featuring a high-necked, mermaid-style silhouette and hand-appliquéd Italian lace. The bride told Vogue that she wanted her wedding look to be a striking departure from her typical red carpet ensembles.
Lauren said she drew inspiration from the high-necked wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 movie Houseboat. 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' she told the outlet.
She noted that it would be the first formal dress she's worn that's so covered up across the chest. 'It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect — but it's very much me," she explained.
Shortly after the nuptials took place, Lauren shared the first photo of the wedding on Instagram: a shot of herself and Jeff beaming in a garden setting with their guests surrounding them. She captioned the post, "06/27/2025 ♥️," officially confirming her marriage.
Jeff and Lauren celebrated their wedding with about 200 people, 70 of whom were family members, including a number of celebrities. The star-studded guest list included Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Tommy Hilfiger, Queen Rania of Jordan and Brooks Nader.
A source told PEOPLE that the wedding ceremony commenced with a performance of 'Can't Help Falling in Love' by Elvis Presley, sung by Matteo Bocelli.

Ahead of saying "I do" to Jeff, Lauren told Vogue that she was looking forward to making it official with the Amazon founder.
"I'm happy that I'm getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore. I am the luckiest woman on the planet," she said.

Will Smith alludes to Chris Rock Oscars slap in freestyle rap: 'Talking crazy out your face up on the stage'
After hopping on stage for an infamous moment at the 2022 Academy Awards, Will Smith has hopped the pond to rap about the slap heard 'round the world. The actor and musician's recent appearance on British DJ Charlie Sloth's freestyle rap show, Fire in the Booth, found him referencing his shocking altercation with Oscars host Chris Rock that led to Smith's resignation from the Academy and his 10-year ban from future ceremonies. In a freestyle that repeated the refrain "I am the illest," Smith rapped, "If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the stage." In the jaw-dropping (popping?) 2022 incident, Rock cracked a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head as part of his hosting duties at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Smith, Pinkett Smith's husband of almost 30 years, reacted by stalking up to the stage and smacking Rock in the face, warning him, "Keep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth." Pinkett Smith had previously announced that alopecia had caused her to lose her hair. Smith's freestyle on Fire in the Booth also included references to his humble beginnings in Philadelphia as well as his wealth, three children, two marriages, and artistic success: "Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, and when I stare at 'em, I'm hearing 'em whisper, 'You've got every right to be arrogant,'" he rapped. The Oscar-winning King Richard star cautioned at the top of his freestyle that "my insights don't sound right in sound-bites," before he couched his reference to the Oscars incident with, "I'm not the type of man to move in malicious ways, and I am too grown to play childish games." Representatives for Smith and Rock did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly's request for and hype man Sloth, who hosted The Rap Show on BBC's 1Xtra, now headlines The Charlie Sloth Rap Show for Apple Music. Fire in the Booth is Sloth's YouTube series, which showcases established and up-and-coming MCs as they prove their skills on the mic. This is not the first time Smith has referenced his awards ceremony clash in his music. In March, he released his new album, Based on a True Story, his first record of solo material in 20 years, which included lyrics addressing his Oscars slap and his "complicated" relationship with his wife. Pinkett Smith previously stated that she and Smith separated in 2016 but remain married. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Jeff Bezos and his new bride, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, said "I do" over the weekend with a star-studded guest list to celebrate their Italian nuptials. As the wedding weekend winded down, a slew of A-list attendees were spotted making the trek out of Venice, Italy. Orlando Bloom, who is rumored to be newly single after calling off an engagement to pop star Katy Perry, joined Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti, on a taxi boat ride to the airport.

Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady was spotted wearing a green shirt with slacks as he walked toward a waiting boat post-wedding. Salma Hayek's billionaire husband, François-Henri Pinault, was pictured leaving the Bezos affair Sunday. Pinault's family company, the French luxury group Kering, is home to famed fashion brands including Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Pinault's father, François, founded the $22 billion brand, which also owns Alexander McQueen and Christie's auction house. Pinault has an estimated net worth of $7 billion. Kendall Jenner packed light for the Italian getaway, and had her security guard carry her Gucci luggage to a waiting taxi boat. Several other celebrities joined the newlyweds Saturday in the Arsenale, a former medieval shipyard which hosted the wedding ceremony. Usher and his wife, Jennifer Goicoechea, were seen arriving at the event, while Kris Jenner and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, made their own appearance. Sydney Sweeney and Karlie Kloss – who is married to Jared Kushner's brother, Joshua – were also spotted leaving the restaurant. Shortly after tying the knot, Sánchez took to Instagram to debut her wedding dress and new name. Her updated Instagram account now reads, "Lauren Sánchez Bezos." "06/27/2025," she captioned her post, adding a red heart. She also debuted her wedding gown on the cover of Vogue. Her Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress was a mermaid-style lace gown with sheer long sleeves and a high neckline. She told Vogue in her cover story she felt "like a princess." "It is a departure from what people expect," she said, "from what I expect — but it's very much me."
