EXCLUSIVE Stylist reveals Jeff Bezos' major fashion faux pas at Venice wedding to Lauren Sanchez
A stylist has revealed Jeff Bezos ' major fashion faux pas at his Venice wedding to Lauren Sanchez.
The billionaire Amazon founder, 61, was spotted exiting his hotel to head to their lavish nuptials on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Italy on Thursday afternoon.
He donned a chic black tuxedo and was all smiles as he got onto a water taxi.
However, a fashion expert has now revealed exclusively to the Daily Mail that the tech mogul made a serious error with his wedding look.
According to Liz Teich, a New York-based personal stylist, Jeff should not have worn a pre-tied bow tie.
'My biggest criticism of his look is that I wish he didn't choose a pre-tied bow tie. It always looks more elevated to tie your own,' she said.
She also pointed out that it looks like he has his iPhone in his pocket, something she feels is a big no-no when you want to look your best.
'I may never let my husband live it down for having his iPhone showing in his pant pocket for every photograph at our wedding,' she joked.

'But just like my husband, Jeff may have been more focused on what's happening around them and his bride [to think about how his iPhone might look].'
Lastly, Liz stated that the groom's suit was 'slightly small on him,' but she added that as a stylist, she prefers fits that are too tight rather than too loose.
However, a man with a net worth of $226 billion has access to the best tailors in the world, so it's certainly odd that his tuxedo doesn't fit perfectly.
'Dress shirt sleeves should hit right past the base of the thumb and show about half of an inch of the cuff out of the jacket sleeve,' Liz explained.
'Judging by length... and how it's pulling at the button, it may be slightly small on him, though as a stylist, I appreciate a fitted suit over a sloppy, baggy one.'
Jeff and Lauren's lavish multi-day wedding celebration is estimated to have cost them $20 million.
A slew of their famous friends including Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner, amongst others, are all in attendance.
Guests arriving at the luxurious affair were greeted to the sounds of trumpets, violins and a Gospel Choir.

Lauren has yet to emerge in her wedding dress, but hours earlier, the award-winning journalist made her first appearance of the day when she was spotted leaving the five star Aman Hotel in a ladylike white Dior puff sleeve suit, paired with a head scarf and oversized sunglasses.
She also appeared to show off a brand new enormous diamond ring for the occasion.
Last night, it was revealed that Jeff and Lauren had already married legally ahead of today's ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.
They kicked off the weekend-long celebrations with a star-studded welcome dinner on Thursday evening at the Campo Della Madonna dell'Orto.
But the billionaire couple and their A-list guests were forced to take cover from a freak thunderstorm during the pre-wedding party.
The pair are said to have rented out a number of places in the Italian city to celebrate the lavish nuptials.
The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night, but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media.

Ellie Goulding shows off her incredible figure in a skintight sequin burgundy dress as she joins A-listers at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $20M Venice wedding
Ellie Goulding turned heads in a figure-hugging gown as she arrived at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's lavish wedding in Venice on Friday. The singer, 28, showed off her incredible figure a skin-tight gown covered in burgundy sequins with a plunging neckline. The Lights hitmaker carried a matching plum-coloured clutch bag and folded red fan amid the balmy temperatures and accessorised with several silver rings. She was all smiles as she waved at the crowds while travelling to the luxury $20million festivities, which was also attended by the likes of the Kardashians and Leonardo DiCaprio. Ellie's appearance at the wedding came as a slight surprise to fans, as no connection between her and the bride and groom has been made publicly known. The pop star did not previously make an appearance at the bachelorette party of Lauren, 55, and wasn't thought to be friends with either the journalist-turned-philanthropist nor Jeff, 61. Jeff and Lauren tied the knot in a ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice on Friday afternoon. Described as the 'wedding of the century,' the Amazon founder and former journalist exchanged vows in front of almost 200 VIP guests. Following the ultra-exclusive ceremony, the billionaire couple threw a star-studded reception attended by high-profile guests, including the Kardashian sisters, Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Usher, and Orlando Bloom. The extravagant affair - reportedly costing $20million and drawing ire from locals - was capped off with an eyebrow-raising gift from the bride. While Jeff chose stylish ViBi Venezia blue velvet slippers for the gentleman guests, Lauren gave the ladies black open-toe slippers from Amazon - seizing the opportunity to promote her billionaire husband's e-commerce empire. Festivities for the Bezos wedding began on Thursday night – the first of three days of lavish parties in the Floating City as guests will once again celebrate on Saturday night. But ahead of the star-studded nuptials, sourcesed reveal that the couple are already married. A closely connected source said: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The 'Lights' hitmaker was all smiles as she waved at the crowd as she posed with Brooks Nadar (right) and Sarah Jane Ellie's appearance at the wedding came as a slight surprise to fans, as no connection between her and the bride and groom has been made publicly known Described as the 'wedding of the century,' the Amazon founder and former journalist exchanged vows in front of almost 200 VIP guests on San Giorgio Maggiore island on Friday 'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married,' they added. 'There is no application for a wedding licence from the couple because it was not required.' The source continued: 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.' The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion (£177 billion) fortune. Celebrities, politicians and business titans gathered in the city for the wedding amid local protests. Among them were some of the world's most eligible bachelors, including Orlando Bloom, freshly split from fiancée Katy Perry; divorced sporting superstar Tom, and divorced talent agent and billionaire music executive Scooter Braun. Former US President Barack Obama was among guests – he and Bezos have been on warm terms for years, and Bezos donated $100 million (£72 million) to the Obama Foundation in 2021. Others attending included former chat show host Oprah Winfrey and her best friend, TV presenter and author Gayle King, who went on the much-mocked space 'flight' on Bezos Blue Origin rocket last month with Sanchez and an all-female team. Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka attended along with husband Jared Kushner, but the President himself – reportedly invited – will not come to Venice. Both Jeff and Lauren were there for Trump's inauguration earlier this year and he attracted much criticism when his Washington Post newspaper declined to endorse Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the US election last year. Queen Rania of Jordan had also been seen, as were fashion duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. However, things have not gone smoothly, following huge protest from locals and environmental groups over the nuptials, with one gigantic banner in St. Mark's Square reading: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.' Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined the protests attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations. 'Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1 percent true tax rate,' the two groups said in a joint statement. 'The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5million.' A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon said: 'As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married.' As a result of the public hostility to their descent on Venice, plans were ripped up and remade over the past week. The bride and groom have now left their $500 million (£363 million) yacht, the Koru, off the coast of Croatia, although it was initially intended to be moored in Venice. The venues for the various celebrations have changed, too, with plans for Saturday's party now moved to Arsenale, the shipbuilding yards, which are easier to make secure.

She asked fellow Reddit users after showing a picture of the garment. Although the dress was pale blue, it could easily look white under certain light. Advertisement Not only that, but the dress featured a white strip down the front, which many thought pushed the boundaries. "I thought this was a wedding dress at first," one person commented on the post. A second agreed: "It looks more white than blue. I would suggest a better colour, material, and style. The material looks heavy too." "That's nuts, it's obviously bridal, put your foot down," a third wrote. Advertisement Another comment read: "Is she a Bridgerton? Yeah, I can see why you don't like it is is very pale." And someone replied with a reference to the hit Netflix show: "Scrolled way too far for this haha.

DO: Go timeless over trendy We all love a trend babe, but for your wedding day? Let's keep it classic. Think soft glam, radiant skin, neutral tones with a pop of sparkle - You want to look back in ten years and still be obsessed with your glam. Classic never goes out of style. DON'T: Try something totally new Your wedding day is not the time to switch it up with neon liner or completely new brows babe. You want to feel like you, just the most elevated, glowing version. Stick to what you know makes you feel confident and gorgeous. DO: Prioritise long-wear formulas Your wedding is a marathon, not a sprint. You're not just walking down the aisle, you're dancing, hugging, crying, and posing all day long. You need makeup that's in it for the long haul. Go for waterproof, transfer-proof & cry-proof products. Your face needs to slay from 'I do' to the last dance and be able to handle those happy tears. DON'T: Overload your base Babes, less is more. You want coverage, not cake. Go for that breathable, buildable base that lets your real skin glow through. You're aiming for flawless, not flat. Trust me, your photos will thank you. DO: Book a trial Non-negotiable. Whether you're DIY-ing your glam or booking a MUA, a trial is your makeup dress rehearsal. Test it in daylight, take selfies, wear it for hours. It's the only way to know it'll hit just right on the day. DON'T: Forget your neck & chest Don't stop the glam at your jawline, babe. Blend that foundation, bronzer and glow down to your neck and chest, we're going for seamless, snatched and sculpted from every angle. You're the main event, let it show.
