Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut Draws Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, TXT and Rihanna
JUST THE TICKET: Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior was the hottest ticket in town — and that's saying something when temps are hitting the hundred-degree mark. There was rare AC in the venue; never mind that it was installed to protect the artworks on display in the museum-like set. But either way, it benefited the audience.
Some stars have perfected the art of arriving 'fashionably' late (see Beyoncé Knowles-Carter at Louis Vuitton), Rihanna and A$AP Rocky among them. Their entrance caused a commotion when the doors reopened for the couple and sent guests into a frenzy.

Robert Pattinson admitted he had a preview of the collection the day before the show.
'I've known Jonathan for years, so I'm really happy for him,' he said. Even though he's been to many shows, Pattinson, a Dior brand ambassador for 14 years, expressed his excitement for the energy surrounding fashion week. 'I love the entire process,' he added.
Pattinson also shared that he'll begin shooting the next 'Batman' film next year.
'The costume is iconic,' he said, though he noted it wouldn't be making an appearance at fashion week. Instead, he praised Anderson's new collection. Many looks were anchored with Regency-style collars, cravats and capes, alongside modern knitwear and jeans.
'It's all super wearable, which is great and exciting,' Pattinson declared.
Mike Feist was deep in discussion with Joe Alwyn and Alison Oliver. Turning the tables during a chat with WWD, Feist grabbed the mic and played reporter, asking Oliver what she thought of the show. 'I'm delighted and very warm, but I have no intention of taking this jacket off,' she said, referring to her Dior look adorned with military-style buttons.
Feist, who previously told WWD in Cannes that he's 'not a fashion guy,' kept his look casual and was there to support Anderson.
'I'm a big fan of him. We're good friends,' he said. Currently taking a break from film to focus on writing a screenplay, Feist said that he's preparing to return to the stage in a new play.
'I'm feeling very Sgt. Pepper,' said Drew Starkey, referencing his military-inspired jacket.
The British actor is another longtime friend of Anderson's.
'He's one of the hardest-working people I've ever met — and one of my favorite people. This is well deserved,' he said.
Starkey recently wrapped 'Onslaught' with Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens but remained completely tight-lipped about the project. Instead, he revealed that he flew in for the show during a quick break from filming the next season of 'Outer Banks' in South Carolina, where production will continue for seven months.
He also had a front-row reunion with his 'Queer' costar Daniel Craig. Craig joked that he didn't have anything intelligent to say about fashion but was seen chatting with Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu and Taehyun — four out of five members of Tomorrow x Together who attended the show (Heuningkai was absent). Craig asked about their recent tour, music-making and writing process before posing for photos with both the group and Pattinson.
With Anderson's Dior debut being the hottest ticket in town, many fellow designers came out in support.
Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, recently named as Anderson's successors at Loewe, were enthusiastic about being there.
'We're big fans of him,' Hernandez said. 'We have a lot of love for him.'
The duo said they're settling in well. 'We're having so much fun. I don't know how else to describe it. Everything feels possible — it's a dream.'
However, they admitted they're still adjusting to Paris. 'We're really just between the office and home, not going out much. We're focused on the job. September will be the big one,' Hernandez added of their upcoming debut at the other LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned house.
Donatella Versace, seated front row, was there for Anderson's big moment. 'For me, I'm so emotional because I worked with Jonathan when he was very young. We did the Versus show together,' she recalled of the 2013 collection. 'So, you know, I consider him like my little baby now.'
The show also brought out fashion's best in class. Former Dior Homme artistic director Kris Van Assche, Courrèges' Nicolas Di Felice, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Rabanne's Julien Dossena, Jacquemus designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, newly-apponted Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, Stefano Pilati, and Louis Vuitton Men's artistic director Pharrell Williams were just a few of the many notable creatives in the crowd.

Lauren Sánchez becomes Mrs. Bezos in elegant Venice wedding with conservative dress departing from usual style
Lauren Sánchez is officially Mrs. Bezos. On June 27, Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos and Sánchez tied the knot at San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, with a star-studded guest list. On Friday, Sánchez updated her Instagram account to read "Lauren Sánchez Bezos," after saying, "I do" to the Amazon founder. She also shared the first look at her wedding gown on Instagram. "06/27/2025," she captioned her post, adding a red heart. Sánchez also debuted her wedding gown on the cover of Vogue. Her Dolce & Gabbana dress was a mermaid-style lace gown, with sheer long sleeves and a high neckline. She told Vogue in her cover story that she felt "like a princess." Sánchez's inspiration behind her wedding gown was the look Sophia Loren wore while marrying 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. Sánchez acknowledged that her wedding gown was more conservative than the revealing looks she's worn in the past. "It is a departure from what people expect," she said, adding, "from what I expect—but it's very much me." Sánchez said she was expecting her now-husband to be surprised. "Yes. I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he's going to be so happy. I mean, it's so elegant, it's timeless," she said. Sánchez explained that her wedding to Bezos "is extremely intimate," and 70 of the 200 guests are family. "She wants to do a very classic and elegant wedding," designer Stefano Gabbana told the outlet. "She didn't want to do something very flashing or bling bling." Sánchez also told the outlet she isn't sticking to some traditional wedding rituals. "We don't have a lot of traditions that we're keeping. I mean, I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it's a little different," she said. She did bring something blue to her big day. "Well, Blue Origin. It's something from my space flight," Sánchez told the outlet. She explained to Vogue that during her recent trip to space, she brought a secret souvenir so she could bring Bezos something back "because it was literally one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life. Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn't describe it. It was the greatest experience I've ever had. Jeff said, 'It's gonna change you more than you think,' and it completely has, visually, spiritually," she said. During the interview, the former journalist explained the impact her now-husband has had on her life. "I went into a lot of therapy and it's changed me in a bunch of ways. But it's really Jeff," she said with a pause. "Jeff hasn't changed me. Jeff has revealed me. I feel safe. I feel seen. He lets me be me. Like I said about Sophia Loren being unapologetically free, he lets me be unapologetically free." Sánchez revealed that her two sons, Nikko and Evan, walked her down the aisle. Her daughter, Ella, was her maid of honor and delivered a reading during the wedding ceremony. All three of her kids, whom she shares with her ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, were wearing Dolce & Gabbana for her wedding. Sánchez did some prep before her big day. While speaking to Vogue, she explained that she lost three and a half pounds before the ceremony on June 27 and cut out alcohol and salt in the weeks leading up to it. "I like food!" she explained. "Food is such a big part of life. I'm Latin! Some people meditate, I work out. It's something Jeff and I do every morning. We have our coffee, we talk about whatever's going on, and then we go to the gym." Sánchez couldn't be happier that she gets to spend the rest of her life with Bezos, she told Vogue. "More than the dress, 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."

The partnership is meant to push boundaries while emphasizing the power of movement and self-expression, notions that Twigs seems to be all about. 'I live a busy and varied life, often moving between training, meetings, and studio sessions in a single day. I wanted to create pieces that could move with me through those shifts – pieces that feel sensual and strong, and reflect all the different sides of who I am,' Twigs stated in a press release. 'This capsule collection is about feeling confident in your body and free to express yourself – whether you're dancing, creating, or just moving through your day.' The collection was made available June 26 and is comprised of utilitarian pieces, likely inspired by Twigs' own muted wardrobe. You've got everything from low-impact sports bras to buttery soft skorts and a collaborative sneaker, the Cloud x FKA. Each piece is athleisure-inspired and designed to move in harmony with the body. The capsule also includes a slew of accessories, from cropped caps to hooded scarfs that scream Eusexua.

Retailing for $180.00, this unisex shoe is made of a mixture of recycled polyester and synthetic suede that transitions into breathable mesh paneling and On Running's CloudTec, a cushioning system that absorbs shock for a soft underfoot and a bouncy feel with every step. Finally, bright contrasting red open mesh tongues give way to rubber tread that gives the sneaker a non-slip finish. This sneaker, like many pieces in this capsule, is inspired by movement, specifically dance. Thanks to this, the shoe is flexible, reflecting the artistic movement of a ballerina. Speaking of, the extended lacing featured on this model can be laced up the ankles, creating a ballet shoe-esque look. We love the Lily colorway because of the contrasting pops of color.

These pants are meant to sit low on the hips, imparting a sort of 'streetwear' vibe that meshes well with Twigs' personal style. To style, we'd likely wear these with something more fitted on top to offset the baggy silhouette. We're thinking something like a bra top or cropped tee.

Lauren Sánchez Reveals Who Her 'Amazing' Maid of Honor Was During Venice Wedding to Jeff Bezos
When Lauren Sánchez wed Jeff Bezos in a lavish Venice celebration, it was a family affair Vogue reports that Sánchez was walked down the aisle by her two sons, Nikko and Evan, during the celebration The outlet also confirms that the bride's maid-of-honor was someone else close to her heartLauren Sánchez's wedding to Jeff Bezos was a family affair — with the bride walked down the aisle by her sons Nikko and Evan, and accompanied at the altar by her 17-year-old daughter Ella, who served as her maid of honor. The Emmy-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot with the Amazon founder, 61, in a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. Vogue reports that Ella served as the bride's maid of honor and delivered a reading at the ceremony. Per the outlet, Ella wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit (Sánchez herself wore a corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress custom-designed by Dolce, along with Dolce earrings). 'Ella's original; she beats to her own drum. She had never had a fitting before, and she loved it. She's going to look amazing. It has been the most fun dressing all the kids," Lauren told Vogue. The outlet also confirmed that Sánchez's sons walked her down the aisle. Sánchez welcomed son Nikko, 24, in 2001 with her ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. After the two split, Sánchez married her now ex-husband, businessman Patrick Whitesell. Sánchez and Whitesell celebrated the arrival of their son, Evan, 19, in 2006 and daughter, Ella, in 2008. Sánchez and Bezos celebrated their Italian nuptials over several days, welcoming a number of their celebrity friends for the lavish festivities in the Floating City, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady.
