Lauren Sánchez got pierced in a very unusual place for her wedding to Jeff Bezos
From the A-list guest list (hello Oprah and the Kardashians) to the grandeur of the Venice ceremony itself, it was a spectacle to behold. But one smaller beauty detail is all we can think about.
For her special day, Lauren got a piercing in a very unique place to declare her love to her new husband and mark the next chapter in her life (and changing her last name).
The former pilot's long-time nail artist and pal, Imran Shelton, posted a close-up image of Lauren's bridal manicure. The bride opted for a classic yet chic French tip design, favoured by many famous brides-to-be, from Zendaya to Selena Gomez.
However, Lauren gave the timeless look a cool twist, debuting a pierced, diamond-encrusted 'B' initial on her ring finger. It hung delicately from her nail and glistened in the Venice sunshine - a dainty yet dramatic homage to her new surname.
We've now noticed that she didn't actually sport this bold piercing around Venice until the actual wedding day, which was such a nice touch.
While piercing nails might sound extreme, it's actually part of a growing trend. Originating in the early 2000s Y2K era when bold, playful nail art reigned, pierced nails have made a comeback on runways and red carpets alike.
Celebs like FKA Twigs and Rosalía have both sported pierced manicures in recent years, making the look a high-fashion statement for those bold enough to try it.
Despite reports that Imran was shunned from the wedding, the manicurist was clearly front and centre on the big day, joining Lauren's tightly knit 'glam squad' to help bring her bridal vision to life.
A traditional French tip may never go out of style, but thanks to Mrs Sánchez Bezos, it's safe to say nail piercings just had their most glamorous moment yet.

On the Podcast: 'He Really Changed the Way People Dressed'—Vogue Editors Look Back at Demna's Legacy at Balenciaga
On Wednesday, July 9, Demna will present his final couture collection at Balenciaga. For all the debuts fashion is currently anticipating, this, too, is a much awaited show; it's a rare thing to get to witness a designer knowingly put a bow around a creative tenure. Joining Nicole Phelps on this episode of The Run-Through are Sarah Mower, Vogue's chief fashion critic, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor at Vogue Runway. Together, they look at Demna's tenure at the French brand, and discuss what it says about the last decade in fashion, as well as the culture at large. When he was appointed in 2015, Demna was the designer of the semi-anonymous collective Vetements and not yet well known. He was an unexpected and exciting choice. 'You could feel the anticipation in your every fiber,' recalled Mower of the designer's Balenciaga debut. 'There was no production value. It was clean. It built up to the Helly Hansen red puffer jacket, cut off-the shoulder with this incredible ski turtleneck encrusted with crystals… that's when you got that jolt of electricity, and you could just feel that he really nailed it.' Two looks from Demna's debut collection for Balenciaga. Photo: Monica Feudi / The famous red puffer jacket. Photo: Monica Feudi / Ten years later that puffer is still Demna's favorite piece. As he told Mower a few weeks ago in an interview ahead of the opening of the 'Balenciaga by Demna' exhibition on view in Paris, 'when I came to Balenciaga, I went through all this Cristobal imagery, and he did this really amazing thing with the back of the woman's neck. He found it was so much more elegant to look at the necklace from the back than from the front. So all the necks were dropped. That's what I did here, but I never wanted to be an impersonator of Cristobal Balenciaga. I wanted it to be on a non-conventional garment for this type of elegance. That was also how I wore my outerwear. So it was a perfect fusion.' Beyond his mastery of the high/low, his experiments with pop culture (remember The Simpsons show?), and the 'immersive runway experiences' that revealed his concerns about climate change and other social and political issues, the fact remains that Demna is one of the best designers of his generation. 'He really did have a big effect on the way people dressed; reflecting or amplifying what was going on the street—literally magnifying it so much that it became hugely outsized,' said Mower. Listen to the episode below.

Stars of new thriller The Assassin appear as trailer released
British actress Keeley Hawes joined the stars of her new thriller for a photocall as it was announced the new series will be released on July 25. Prime Video also released the action-packed trailer for The Assassin on Thursday, which features Hawes as retired assassin Julie – who is forced to fight for survival alongside her estranged son Edward, played by Freddie Highmore. The trailer shows Hawes transformed into a gun-wielding action woman, complete with blood-splattered face and clothes. 'I used to do bad things. For money,' she says in one scene. Hawes and Highmore appeared for a photocall at the Soho Hotel in central London alongside other actors who appear in the new series, including Shalom Brune-Franklin and Devon Terrell. The six-part thriller sees the characters Julie and Edward forced to flee an idyllic remote Greek island and go on the run together when Julie's dangerous past catches up with her. Hawes previously said she felt 'so lucky' to have spent last summer in Athens with the 'wonderful' Highmore and the 'high-calibre' cast and crew. The series is the latest project by writing duo brothers Harry and Jack Williams, who produced the hit comedy Fleabag and created the thriller series The Tourist starring Jamie Dornan. Hawes has previously starred in hit series including Line Of Duty, Bodyguard and Spooks, as well as Channel 4 drama It's A Sin and ITV political drama Stonehouse. Highmore, who starred as the titular character in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory as a child, previously said it was a 'joy' to work on the project. 'It doesn't get better than a Greek adventure alongside the lovely and incomparable Keeley Hawes,' he added.

28 Years Later's Teen Star Names 1 Scene That 'Creeped Me Out' During Filming
28 Years Later's young lead Alfie Williams has opened up about the scene from the movie that was most unsettling to film. Alfie was just 13 when he shot 28 Years Later and its upcoming sequel The Bone Temple, and as a result, several allowances had to be made on set to protect him from the films' grisly content. During a conversation with Interview magazine, Alfie was asked if he was 'grossed out' on set, to which he insisted: 'You get used to the infected pretty quick. I think it took a couple of days and then you could kind of ignore it and it was fine after that.' However, he did say there was one scene that 'creeped me out', involving an 'infected' woman who gave birth on a train. 'It creeped [me] out, but it was beautiful at the same time to see how they're infected, but they're still like us, because they were once humans,' he claimed. 'But I think Danny knew I was mature enough to see things like that. They did try and keep [me] away from it, but they were fine with [me] seeing stuff like that.' It was previously revealed that, because of Alfie's age, any nudity in the film – most notably from the 'Alphas' – had to be achieved through the use of prosthetics. 28 Years' Later's intimacy coordinator Vanessa Coffey recently gave an interview with Variety about how the set had to adapt due to Alfie's age. Vanessa was specifically asked about the birth scene, explaining: 'That was part of the conversation. It was like, which bits does [Alfie] need to see, which bits does he have to watch and which bits can we keep him out of the way. 'But it was an incredible prosthetic that was created for that scene. We had spoken through unmedicated births and what that would look or feel like, just to make it really raw and really realistic. So having a young person witness that – we were really careful about how the conversations were managed.' Filmmaker Danny Boyle has made no secret of his hopes that 28 Years Later will begin a new big-screen trilogy, the second instalment of which is already slated for release next year. 17 Behind-The-Scenes Secrets You Probably Didn't Know About How 28 Years Later Was Made 28 Years Later Viewers Are Still In Shock From That Teletubbies Callback In The Wild Final Scene 28 Years Later 'Alpha' Chi Lewis-Parry Answers Everyone's 1 Big Question About The Film
