Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez exchange vows in opulent Venetian ceremony

Venice, June 28 (UNI) Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez have officially wed in a grandiose ceremony yesterday, set against the resplendent backdrop of Venice's San Gloria Maggiore island. The multi-day celebration welcomed a glittering guest list, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady. Other notable guests included Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates and his girlfriend, Paula Hurd, François-Henri Pinault, and fashion designers Diane von Fürstenberg, Domenico Dolce and Tommy Hilfiger. The wedding ceremony opened with an emotive rendition of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," performed by renowned tenor Matteo Bocelli, drawing cheers from the distinguished guests. Saánchez, 55, stunned in a bespoke mermaid- style wedding gown from Dolce & Gabbana, embroidered with Italian lace and paired with heirloom earrings and a symbolic token from her Blue Origin space journey. Bezos, 61, was equally dashing in a classic tuxedo and aviator sunglasses, exuding old-world charm. To show their appreciation to Venice for hosting them and their guests, Bezos and Sánchez made a point of spotlighting the city's rich artisanal history during their wedding festivities. They sourced about 80% of their provisions from Venetian vendors, among them pastry shop Rosa Salva and glass design studio Laguna B. In addition, the couple asked their guests to make financial donations to the city of Venice instead of giving them wedding gifts. On their wedding invitation, they listed three Venetian charities they planned to donate the contributions to: the UNESCO Venice Office, CORILA and Venice International University. They also shared on the invitation why Venice holds such a special place in their hearts. "This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories," they wrote. "Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come." "We are definitely happy to have this funding for the protection of our very delicate city," Sebastiano Costalonga, local city councillor for commerce and productive activities of the municipality of Venice, told PEOPLE ahead of the wedding. Bezos and Sánchez's romance first made headlines in early 2019, coinciding with their respective separations from longtime partners. What began as a collaborative professional partnership evolved into a deeply personal connection. In interviews, Sánchez has spoken admiringly of Bezos's intellect and humour, describing their companionship as seamless and joyful. In May 2023, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the two had gotten engaged. The news came as the couple was vacationing together in the South of France. Sánchez was photographed wearing a dazzling ring on that finger while spending time on Bezo's superyacht Koru and stepping out in town. UNI NST

Prada finally admits its 'new' sandals are basically Kolhapuri chappals and India noticed

Prada faced criticism for featuring sandals in its Spring-Summer 2026 collection that closely resembled Kolhapuri chappals without acknowledging their origin. Following backlash, Lorenzo Bertelli of Prada admitted the design's inspiration from traditional Indian footwear and expressed interest in collaborating with local artisans. This incident highlights the need for proper credit and support for traditional crafts in the fashion industry. So, here's what went down: Prada recently showcased its Spring-Summer 2026 men's collection, and one particular piece had Indian fashion watchers doing a double take, sandals that looked way too familiar. Yep, they strongly resembled Kolhapuri chappals, the iconic handmade leather footwear from Maharashtra. But instead of owning up to the source of inspiration, Prada casually referred to them as just 'leather sandals' in their show notes. Naturally, this didn't sit well with a lot of people. Lalit Gandhi, the president of the Maharashtra Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, was among the first to call the brand out. He reminded them and the world that Kolhapuris aren't just any old sandals. They carry cultural and artisanal weight and even have a GI (Geographical Indication) tag since 2019. Fast forward a few days and Prada seems to have gotten the message. Lorenzo Bertelli, who heads CSR at the Prada Group, sent a letter to Gandhi acknowledging the 'inspiration' behind the sandals. He admitted that the design was indeed influenced by traditional Indian handcrafted footwear, which has, as he put it, 'a centuries-old heritage.' (Took them long enough, right?) Bertelli also clarified that the collection is still in its early design phase and hasn't gone into production or sale, yet. He added that Prada respects Indian craftsmanship and wants to explore ways to work more closely with local artisans in the future. While it's good that Prada finally acknowledged the roots of the design, Gandhi's larger point still stands: cultural exchange in fashion is great, but it has to come with proper credit and collaboration. It's not enough to just "borrow" it's about recognizing where things come from and supporting the people who've kept those traditions alive. If this leads to big brands actually uplifting traditional crafts instead of just repackaging them, it might be a step in the right direction for the fashion industry.
