All the big name stars spotted at Jeff Bezos' Venice wedding
Celebrities have stepped out in droves to celebrate Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sanchez.
The wedding, which is expected to have cost upwards of AU$71.4 million - just a drop in the pond for billionaire Bezos - kicked off on Friday (local time).
The glitzy event has sparked outrage among locals in Venice, many of whom banded together to force Bezos to change the venue earlier this week after they threatened to derail the big day with inflatable crocodiles.
Oprah lead the big-name stars that stepped out for the big day, with the former chat show host waving to fans as she left the hotel that had been packed full of stars ready to see Bezos walk down the aisle with his bride.
The Kardashians; Khloe, Kylie, Kim and their momager, Kris, were all seen glammed up in their best dress as they made their way to the ceremony.
Kris showed off her latest cosmetic surgery as she flashed a youthful-looking grin at passersbye.
British pop star Ellie Goulding looked chic in a red gown as she joined US model Brooks Nader on a boat headed to the wedding on Friday afternoon.
Bezos' billionaire pals also joined in the fun, with US businessman Jared Kushner stepping out with his wife, Ivanka Trump, dressed in black tie.
Orlando Bloom was seen for the first time since his reported split from Katy Perry after almost 10 years together. Perry and their daughter Daisy stayed in Australia while Bloom jetted off to the star-studded multi-day wedding.
Bloom appeared to be in good spirits as he chatted with a pal, seemingly putting his split behind him to celebrate his pal's big day.
The celebrations will reportedly end Saturday with a party at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse.

Truth no bride will admit about Kylie Jenner's wedding guest move
When Kylie Jenner stepped out at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding, she knew exactly what she was doing. Her plunging, corsetted 'icy blue' dress (which, to anyone with eyes, is white) was destined for a million paparazzi photos and a thousand online debates. In the age of Instagram, every celebrity outing is an opportunity to make a statement, and the Bezos-Sanchez wedding was no exception. It was all about the spectacle. Jenner's bride-adjacent outfit felt intentional and designed to go viral – and it did. Social media erupted. Vogue 's Instagram post of the look was flooded with comments like, 'Who the f**k wears white to a wedding?' Others called it 'tacky' and said, 'You can't buy class'. One commenter asked, 'Has Kylie never been to a wedding before?' Now, you might think this is a trivial matter about rich people and fashion faux pas. And it is. But as someone who got married this year, I can tell you the personal toll a move like this can take. At my April wedding, which, surprisingly, didn't cause an entire Italian city to grind to a halt and was not attended by the Kardashian-Jenner clan, one of my friends wore cream. I know what you're thinking. Cream isn't white. And you're right. But it was close enough to cause a double-take in photos. I gently let her know it made me uncomfortable, but she insisted it 'wasn't white,' so it wasn't going to be an issue. And while, yes, it technically wasn't white, it did make me wonder why, out of all the colours in the world, she had to pick that dress. Here's the thing. In this day and age, many wedding guests, whether they're Kylie Jenner or my friend, seem to forget the basics of wedding etiquette. They get caught up in the moment, in what they're wearing, in how they will look in photos. And I get it. Weddings are a rare chance to dress up, to be seen, and frankly, to look hot. But somewhere along the way, the unspoken rule of 'don't wear white' has been forgotten. In fear of being labelled a 'bridezilla', I let the issue go and didn't say anything more about it. When the big day arrived, I was so caught up in the excitement of getting married that I hardly noticed or cared what anyone else was wearing. I was too busy laughing, dancing, and trying not to make ugly crying faces as I walked down the aisle (I didn't quite succeed at that last one). But in the months afterwards, a sour taste lingered whenever I thought about that cream dress. It wasn't really about the dress itself – it was about the fact that, out of all the possible outfits, my friend chose to flirt with crossing the line, and even after I told her I wasn't okay with it, she persisted. And while everyone told me I was being petty to care, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was about more than just the dress. You really don't understand until you're a bride, groom, or anyone planning a wedding, for that matter. You (hopefully) only get one day in your life where everything is about you. When a friend, who could quite literally wear anything to your wedding, chooses to push boundaries with their outfit, it makes you wonder: why? Is it an innocent choice, or a subtle power play? In the words of Succession, 'Was this a snubbing?!' My friend told me it was the only dress she could find that made her feel confident, and while I want her to feel her best, surely, there's a wedding pecking order in terms of who deserves to feel the best. I even worry I seem vain for discussing this. But the comments on Vogue 's post validate me, suggesting that for most people, wearing white to a wedding is still a big no-no. If we give Jenner the benefit of the doubt and assume Sanchez approved her outfit, I'm still baffled as to why she chose to make a statement at that moment, on someone else's special day. But honestly, maybe I shouldn't be that surprised. For celebrities, controversy is just another form of publicity, and maybe Sanchez was even in on it to create more buzz for the wedding, not that it needed it. But for the rest of us, it can feel more like a personal slight. So, if you're invited to a wedding soon, please, please, please, think twice about wearing pale colours. You might just make someone feel a little less special on their big day.

Angela Jones receives praise from Rob Heathcote after bringing up 100 winners for season at Eagle Farm
As star young Queensland jockey Angela Jones cracked her 100th winner for the racing season, trainer Rob Heathcote had the words of another top trainer ringing in his ears. Jones, who hails from country Charters Towers and had her family watching trackside at Eagle Farm, produced a typically cool ride to score the first race on Amuseantes for Heathcote. It didn't take Jones long to raise the bat for her ton of national winners this season, after she started the day on 99.5 winners. After watching Jones produce an ice-cool ride to steer Amuseantes ($14) to victory in the QTIS 3YO Fillies Plate, Heathcote was full of superlatives. 'I heard Tony Gollan interviewed about Angela Jones maybe four or five months ago, when she had just given one of his horses a brilliant steer,' Heathcote said. 'Tony said something about Angela that has always stuck with me. 'He said that not only is she an enormous talent, she is a beautiful person. 'And that just comes through in her riding. 'She never panics, she never gets high anxiety and she is so patient and beautifully balanced. 'I mean look at that ride (on Amuseantes), she won that race for me.' Angela Jones lands an early blow on Tattersall’s Tiara Day, slicing through the field aboard AMUSEANTES for Rob Heathcote. Could this be the start of a massive day for the rising star? ðŸ�† #QLDisRacing — RaceQ (@RaceQLD) June 28, 2025 Jones was thrilled to score her 100th winner, but it was a surprise to her that it came in the first race. 'This filly was one of the few maidens in the race, so I didn't think she could win today,' Jones said. 'But she probably should have got her maiden out of the way by now and she did everything right today.' Meanwhile, James McDonald said he wished the Group 1 JJ Atkins was still to come after the dominant win of Chris Waller 's two-year-old colt Autumn Boy in the Listed Tatt's Stakes (1400m). The JJ Atkins has already been run and won – by Queensland colt Cool Archie – but McDonald is sure Autumn Boy would have been hard to beat if he had contested it. Autumn Boy, a young son of former Group 1 champion The Autumn Sun, started favourite in the Tatt's Stakes and didn't have the easiest run but was still too good. Autumn Boy 'leaves' them chasing in the Listed Tatt’s Stakes for the two-year-olds... and remains unbeaten! ðŸ�‚ @cwallerracing @mcacajamez @BrisRacingClub — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 28, 2025 McDonald is predicting the youngster can go onto big things in the spring after he made it two from two. 'He is a beautiful horse, he is lucky the JJ Atkins is not in another two weeks as he could have been winning that,' McDonald said. 'He is a very promising horse and he is only going to get better and better.'
