Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez close out wedding festivities with late-night bash, Oprah Winfrey ‘tearing up' dance floor and Usher
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's closing night pajama-themed party in Venice, Italy, raged 'til the wee hours, with a source telling us it was a 'dance party' with famous guests busting moves to Usher and DJ Cassidy. A source tells us, 'Oprah [Winfrey] and Gayle [King] were tearing up the dance floor.' We hear Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger was also showing off his famous moves. Other 'big dancers of the night' ruling the floor were Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble, Tommy Hilfiger and wife Dee Ocleppo and Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica Seinfeld. And actress Sydney Sweeney 'was dancing all night.' The newlyweds were also cutting a rug, we hear. A spy tells us that Usher, a personal friend of the power couple, performed a medley of his greatest hits and even got into the crowd. 'Usher came off stage and was in the middle of everyone,' says the source. Superstar DJ Cassidy, who also played Jay-Z and Beyonce's 2008 wedding, opened the night in one room, performing with a full orchestra. He later played again following Usher's performance, with the party raging until 3 a.m. 'It went late,' says the source, who called it 'an all-nighter.' Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, also got on stage. 'The bride and groom went on stage with Cassidy and were dancing,' says the spy. Guests — including new bro pals Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Bill Gates, Brooks Nader, Ivanka Trump and designer Stacey Bendet — were treated to a buffet-style meal of Italian treats like pastas and desserts like cannoli, says the spy. Guests wore their finest silks, slippers and pajama-inspired looks, with the spy telling us that 'the men were much more on theme.' Attendees were gifted black cashmere Alice + Olivia sweaters with the word 'legendary' on them. We hear the word has a special meaning for the newlyweds. Jewel performed a song of that name written specifically for them during Bezos and Sánchez's 2023 engagement party. We're told the decor at the wedding, located in the Arsenale area of the floating city, was Venetian luxe. 'There were big red velvet banquets and couches, and plush pillows,' says the spy. The location, which was changed at the last minute to avoid protesters and crashers, was on the water in a position that made it impossible to access. 'I didn't see any paparazzi or press,' says the source, noting that they had been circling on boats or standing in nearby canals at other events. The final night dance party was the culmination of three days of festivities for Bezos and Sánchez. The Amazon billionaire and the former journalist said 'I do' on Friday during a ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island that included performances by Andrea Bocelli's son Matteo Bocelli and pop star Ellie Goulding. During the first night, guests, who also include Diane von Furstenberg and Barry Diller, gathered for an event at Madonna dell'Orto.

Runway Meets Raceway: Fashion's New Auto Obsession
Fashion has long been fascinated with cars—and that obsession isn't slowing down anytime soon. Lately, you may have noticed a wave of high-end collaborations hitting the mainstream. There's Alice + Olivia's new linkup with Ford Bronco, Aimé Leon Dore's multi-part partnership with Porsche, and Tommy Hilfiger's costuming for the upcoming F1 film starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris—not to mention the latter's official apparel partnership with the Cadillac racing team. The relationship between fashion and the auto industry has always existed, but now it's finally having a full-throttle moment in the spotlight. Luxury brands have long held a love affair with motorsport style. The '70s saw a surge of designer-automaker partnerships, from Pierre Cardin's collaboration with Sbarro to Gucci's sleek customization of the Cadillac Seville—and even the ultra-luxe pairing of Cartier and Lincoln. But these connections weren't limited to the open road; the runways were tuned in, too. For his spring 1992 collection, 'Les Cowboys,' Thierry Mugler shook the industry with his now-iconic motorcycle bustier—complete with leather straps, side mirrors, and all. Decades later, in 2015, Jeremy Scott brought his signature whimsy to the trend, staging a bubble-filled, carwash-meets-catwalk spectacle for Moschino's women's ready-to-wear show in Milan and unveiling a motorcycle-inspired menswear collection at Pitti Uomo. More recently, the sudden widespread popularity of Formula 1—fueled in part by its reigning style icon and vocal arts advocate Lewis Hamilton—has pushed luxury brands even deeper into the fast lane. In 2023, Chanel went viral with a Grand Prix-inspired graphic T-shirt from its cruise collection, sending F1 fans and fashion influencers alike scrambling to track down the $4,450 piece. For a designer like Hilfiger, racing has always captured the essence of effortless American style—classic iconography with a sharp, technical edge. So partnering with Cadillac on its official team kit felt like a natural synergy. 'Our ambition is to create fanwear that's expressive, elevated, and deeply rooted in American style—one vision to shape the next era of race-inspired dressing,' he tells ELLE. Hilfiger also views motorsport as a fresh avenue for fashion to connect across industries, redefining style in new contexts and tapping into the rising 'fashiontainment' trend. He explains, 'Motorsport today is so much more than racing—it's a global cultural movement at the intersection of sport, fashion, entertainment, and innovation. That's where we thrive. As the lines between sport and style continue to blur, the opportunity in this space is limitless.' Other brands are making moves beyond Formula 1, too. Alice + Olivia partnered with Bronco for an exclusive capsule collection that flips the traditionally masculine auto aesthetic on its head—echoing Sydney Sweeney's 2022 journey of rebuilding her 1969 Bronco. 'As a designer, founder, and mother of three daughters, I'm always thinking about how we create space for women—not just in fashion, but in business and culture,' Stacey Bendet, founder and CEO of Alice + Olivia, tells ELLE. 'The Bronco has long stood for freedom and power, but those stories were almost always told through a masculine lens. I wanted to flip that [narrative], to show that women not only belong in that narrative—they can own it.' Whether you credit motorsport's current moment to the return of the yuppie aesthetic, the rise of previously niche sports like F1, or summer's enduring love for classic American sportswear, one thing is clear: racing-inspired style is here to stay.

Where to Stay in New York City During Fashion Week
As a native New Yorker who'd mostly frequented the Meatpacking District's cobblestoned streets for trendy restaurants, nightclubs, shops and salons, I wasn't sure if staying in the heart of the bustling epicenter would be a bit overwhelming. But if you're coming to Manhattan for New York Fashion Week — the Fall/Winter edition of which runs from Feb. 6 to 11 — there's no more ideal home base than the iconic Gansevoort Meatpacking hotel ( The landmark property that opened in 2004 recently received a four-year, $40 million renovation in honor of its 20th anniversary — and I had the opportunity to check it out during September 2024's fashion week. The stylish, fully-refreshed property now boasts a redesigned rooftop, the recently opened Le Coin French bistro and the private member's club Seven24 Collective. But best of all — whether I was heading to the Alice + Olivia fashion show at Highline Stages or the Christian Siriano after-party at Hearsay lounge — I could walk. Everywhere. Right on Ninth Avenue at 13th Street, the grand edifice welcomes guests with rich wood, lush greenery and patrons lounging over coffee, cocktails and meals at its buzzy ground-floor restaurants. Inside, the hotel offers 186 rooms that were refreshed in 2021 as the first phase of the renovation and feature sweeping views, LCD flat screen TVs, exercise mirror technology from Lululemon Studio and bath products by Grown Alchemist. Charismatic artwork livened my room — from a Hogs & Heifers Saloon poster to a Banksy book — and also filled the hotel courtesy of a new art program that introduced works from Banksy, Richard Hambleton and Hassan Hajjaj in the lobby; Mathieu Bitton and Dominique Crenn photography in Le Coin; and Mick Rock and Frank Stella in the hotel's new presidential suite. The sprawling 1,700-square-foot Poliform Penthouse designed by international designers also includes shoppable elements. No matter what you're in the mood for, Coffee + Cocktails offers a variety of beverages and an all-day menu by the hotel's executive chef Sebastien Chaoui (Paris' two Michelin-starred Maitre Corbeau) in the blue-accented European-style lobby café. While it wasn't yet open when I visited, the new indoor-outdoor bistro Le Coin serves cuisine from chef Chaoui inspired by Paris and coastal France — from onion soup to a signature burger — in a peppy pink-and-green-striped dining room adorned with pink flowers and artwork curated by Paris Chong, gallery director of Leica Gallery the omakase experience is the way to go at golden-lit rooftop restaurant Saishin — where chef Isaac Kek (New York's three-Michelin-starred Masa) prepares a 14- or 19-course progression of sushi and sashimi tastings for guests to enjoy either from the chef's counter or indoor-outdoor seating. I sipped a Saketini alongside delicious creations made from fresh ingredients like red snapper, bluefin tuna and Japanese mackerel — and views of the Hudson River and skyline. Also upstairs, the Gansevoort Rooftop's scenic loft takes inspiration from the trips to coastal Italy taken by the hotel group's founder and president, Michael Achenbaum, and partner Sean Largotta. The transporting space brings the outside in through a retractable glass roof, sliding walls and a courtyard-like indoor space with a wraparound terrace — plus an Italian fresco, plant wall and rose velvet banquettes. Guests can also dine at adjacent ground-floor restaurant Meduza Mediterrania — a boisterous East Coast entrant from the Noble 33 group (L.A.'s Toca Madera), with large-format cocktails, live music and Mediterranean favorites. In a city where pools are not so pervasive, the Gansevoort's revamped 45-foot heated outdoor pool is a showstopper — particularly since it boasts 360-degree views of the skyline, and often hosts events, like movie nights. But most exciting is the new Seven24 Collective private club (seven24 — which offers members access to a variety of exclusive social and coworking spaces. Get some work done or take a meeting in the library-like Study, have a bite in The Café, then come evening, enjoy cocktails and dancing at DIMES. The '70s-inspired speakeasy is decorated in playful retro décor, with vibrant patterns, neon lights, Daniel Mazzone art commissions, a disco ball, a fish tank and even two bowling lanes and a karaoke room. Members can also enjoy private areas of the hotel, such as the updated rooftop and the new 3,000-square-foot blue-lit fitness center with high-tech equipment and a sauna, as well as health programming led by medical director Dr. Jane K. Kim. The Meatpacking District has transformed in recent years into a luxury shopping hub, with retailers like Brunello Cuccinelli, Gucci, Rolex, Hermes and RH in walking distance. The hotel is also steps away from the Hudson River, the Chelsea Market food hall, the newly relocated Whitney Museum of American Art and the High Line, an elevated park built on a historic freight rail line. GETTING THERENonstop flights (from around five to six hours) run from Los Angeles to New York airports JFK and LaGuardia, or Newark in New Jersey.
