Their nuptials, which will reportedly be a three-day affair, will surely include massive venues, incredible performers and, of course, jaw-dropping fashion. Already, photographers have gotten a look at three of Sánchez's looks, and they're all different and unique in their own way. Before we get a glimpse of her wedding gown, take a look at all of Sánchez's pre-wedding looks below!
Vogue got the exclusive first look at Sánchez's Dolce & Gabbana wedding ceremony look, which was inspired by the one Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film Houseboat.
The gown featured long lace sleeves and a fishtail hemline with button detailing trailing down the front. She wore it with a long, lace-trimmed veil.
During her first night in Venice on June 25, Sánchez had a date night with Bezos in this one-shoulder vintage Alexander McQueen dress. The dress, which she styled with a black clutch and soft waves in her hair, included silver sequined stripes. The dress is from McQueen's spring 2003 collection.
For her wedding welcome dinner on June 26, Sánchez surely took her guests' breath away in this corseted Schiaparelli Haute Couture. The dress, which included floral green and blue embroidery in the skirt and neckline, perfectly showed off her curves.
She shared the look on Instagram with the caption '🤍.'
For her third wedding look, Sánchez opted for a classic Audrey Hepburn-inspired look. While leaving her hotel in the morning on June 27, Sánchez wore a white short-sleeved jacket and skirt set from Dior. Like Hepburn's signature look, Sánchez accessorized with large black sunglasses and a patterned silk scarf covering her dark hair.
While we haven't seen her wedding gown yet, her pre-wedding looks have surely kept us guessing. Will she be wearing a classic style or bring haute couture down the aisle?
On June 28, for their first outing as husband and wife, Sanchez wowed in this floor-length, dusty pink gown as they left the Aman Hotel for another wedding party.Best of SheKnows

John Legend Just Responded to Kanye West's Mashed Potatoes Insult
John Legend Just Responded to Kanye West's Mashed Potatoes Insult originally appeared on Parade. Sticks and stones may break bones, but mashed potatoes? John Legend's not losing sleep over it. During a Tuesday, July 1 appearance on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning, the 46-year-old 'All of Me' singer finally addressed Kanye West's oddball comment from earlier this year — the one where Ye claimed Legend 'smell like mashed potatoes.' 'He was very obsessed with the sweaters, and he said I smell like mashed potatoes,' Legend said. 'First of all, potatoes are delicious,' co-host Peter Rosenberg pointed out. 'What kind of potatoes?' Legend quipped back. 'I like cheesy, garlic… you know.' 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Rosenberg, 45, laughed with him after reassuring Legend that he smells 'fantastic,' but the EGOT winner made it clear the whole situation isn't funny so much as just plain sad. 'It never affects me personally, but just the whole story is sad,' he said. 'Seeing this guy praise Hitler, seeing this guy be like this force of hate and just like vitriol and nastiness. Somebody who has made some of the great art of this century, like as an artist, as a performer, as a fashion designer, all the things that he's done to make the world more beautiful and more interesting, and then for him to be this now, it's sad. It's just sad.' For those who missed it, the original remark came from a March interview between the 48-year-old 'Gold Digger' rapper and DJ Akademiks. Dressed in all-black KKK-style robes, West randomly launched into a bizarre rant about Legend, calling him slurs and claiming, 'They said he smells like mashed potatoes.' John legend really smell like mashed potatoes? — Fly Kaison (@FlyKaison) April 2, 2025 While fans were left scratching their heads, the former Voice coach said he wasn't offended, but made it known: 'Obviously, I smell great.' Legend also opened up about what it was like to know West before the chaos. He reflected on their early years making music together, back when the hip-hop artist was known for boundary-pushing beats, not unhinged rhetoric. 'He was full of so much energy and creativity and optimism,' Legend said. 'We really believed we were starting a new movement in music — and we were — and being a part of that was inspiring, it was truly inspiring.' 14 Years Ago Kanye West dropped the greatest song of all time Runaway — Jasper (@Jasp3r_0) October 4, 2024 The pair go way back. Legend was the first artist signed to West's GOOD Music label in 2004. At the time, he was still fighting for a record deal and traveling with the 'Heartless' artist as a singer and keyboard player. After The College Dropout took off, everything changed. 🍳 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & fun food news in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter 🍳 'Everyone wanted to know what was happening in our camp,' Legend recalled in a May interview with The Times. 'All those people who turned me down suddenly decided that my music sounded a lot better than it did the first time round.' Though they worked closely throughout the 2000s and into the early 2010s, Legend revealed he never saw this side of West. 'I didn't see a hint of what we're seeing now,' he told the outlet. 'His obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution.' Music aside, Legend is a father of four — Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti, 2, and Wren, 2 — whom he shares with wife Chrissy Teigen. West also has four kids with ex-wife Kim Kardashian: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6.

The new Gilded Age: For billionaire weddings, discretion is out and consumption is in
Here comes the bride — and her 30-carat ring, A-list besties, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of outfits. This summer's billionaire weddings have shown that quiet luxury is out, and conspicuous consumption — spending as a means of displaying status — is in. When Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos tied the knot in Venice in June, the couple shared details of their wedding with the public within hours of their vows being spoken. The guest list, which included Hollywood heavyhitters like the Kardashian-Jenner family and Leonardo DiCaprio and billionaire moguls like Barry Diller and Bill Gates, was on full display for paparazzi as the partygoers were shuttled between venues in open-air water taxis. The bride's outfits, including their expensive designers, were posted on Instagram, while an exclusive Vogue feature captured her final fitting. And the series of events leading up to the big day — the Paris bachelorette party and their two engagement parties — were professionally photographed and shared online. "They're not being quiet about it," Josh Spiegel, the founder of Birch Events, told Business Insider. "They're throwing celebration after celebration, and they're constantly in the news." Bezos-Sánchez's flashy nuptials mirrored, in some ways, a wedding a couple of weeks prior, that of Alex Soros, the son of hedge fund tycoon George Soros, and Huma Abedin, the political strategist and former Hillary Clinton aide. The more subdued Soros-Abedin union also drew a powerful guest list; Kamala Harris and the Clintons were in attendance, as were Jimmy Fallon and Jennifer Lawrence. The couple also gave the world an intimate look at the festivities, taking them inside the family's Hamptons estate, through an exclusive feature on Vogue's website. These nuptials echo those of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in the summer of last year: opulent, public-facing, and full of A-listers. Little discretion was involved. "There's just this archetype now that's developing, and it's particularly at the very wealthiest tier of people that feel like they need to be international celebrities," Winston Chesterfield, the founder of Barton, a consulting firm focused on luxury and the wealthy, told BI. "It's not enough just to be really wealthy, to have huge yachts, and to live this life. They've got to be spoken about." A callback to the Gilded Age Not too long ago, billionaires chose an equally expensive, though more discreet path. Take the 2004 wedding of Vanisha Mittal, the daughter of billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, to banker Amit Bhatia. At the time, reports swirled that the wedding, which involved renting out the Tuileries Garden and part of Versailles, cost eight figures. But there were few details about how that money was spent. The couple didn't pose for magazines or offer journalists inside access. "We're seeing a shift in how the ultrawealthy approach weddings," Cameron Forbes, a luxury wedding planner, said. "The lines between billionaire and celebrity are increasingly blurred." While the "garden variety billionaire" may still cherish privacy, many of the absolute wealthiest, the centibillionaires, spend openly and without shame, Chesterfield said. It's a callback to the Gilded Age, when sociologist Thorstein Veblen coined the phrase conspicuous consumption. During that time, an immense amount of wealth belonged to an elite few, and economic inequality ballooned. Extravagant weddings, like Consuelo Vanderbilt's to the Duke of Marlborough, Charles Spencer-Churchill, celebrated that excess. "Part of the story is the sheer amount of money — this is a lot more money," Ashley Mears, a professor of sociology at the University of Amsterdam, told BI. "When you have a whole bunch more money in a system, you're just going to have a whole bunch more elaborate ways of showing status." The rich today are getting richer. Seventeen people are worth more than $100 billion, according to data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. As recently as 2017, Bezos was the only person to reach that threshold since Gates briefly did it in 1999. If the criticisms of the rich popularized by 2011's Occupy Wall Street movement led billionaires to shy away from the limelight, and the pandemic, which saw the ultrawealthy quarantine on yachts and skirt rules with private parties, ushered in an era of stealth wealth, Trump's second election told them that it's OK to come out of hiding. America not only embraced a billionaire as its leader, but one who is famous for his ostentatious spending. "When you have someone like Trump at the helm," Mears said, "you can spend without shame." 'There's power in that kind of visibility' Social media has further fueled the turn toward loud luxury, giving everyday people an unprecedented look into how the richest live. The weddings of the wealthy used to get write-ups in The New York Times; now, thanks to all-access photos and videos, the public gets inside and rewards conspicuous spending with attention. The Ambani wedding "exploded on social media," Chesterfield said, and that virality provided a blueprint. "It's turned from how many people are crowding outside St. Thomas' Church on Fifth Avenue into how many people are online and talking about our wedding," he said, referencing the Vanderbilt wedding. The seemingly endless public interest — Sánchez Bezos's first post of her wedding now has over 480,000 likes — fuels the competition for status. "There's this impetus to show yourself more and to Instagram yourself, and it really, really takes the idea of conspicuity" to the next level, Mears said. That attention isn't always positive, as history has shown. The Gilded Age's conspicuous consumption led to a populist backlash, policies aimed at wealth redistribution, and the labor movement. The fallout from the Sánchez-Bezos affair brewed online, and Venice locals protested the wedding in person. Still, positive or negative, there's power in visibility, said luxury wedding planner Bill Folchetti. "Whether it's intentional or not, it opens doors — business-wise, socially, everything," luxury wedding planner Bill Folchetti said. "No matter what happens between them, Lauren's now carved out a permanent place on the front page."
