Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Are Married! See Inside Her Final Wedding Dress Fitting
The bride is corseted and cosseted in her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress on the grounds of an 18th-century brick villa outside of Milan. 'I'm gonna cry!' says the soon-to-be Lauren Sánchez Bezos. 'I'm gonna be a mess on the day, but the best kind of mess.' Today is a shoot for Vogue. The day before, Sánchez and Bezos were at the Dolce & Gabbana atelier in central Milan for their final fittings. In a few weeks and 170 miles away, they will marry in front of some 200 family and friends in Venice. 'It was more powerful than I thought,' Sánchez says of yesterday's fitting. Bezos begged to see the dress. 'I almost gave in!' she admits. 'But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can't wait to see his face.' She is now posing, hands on hips and leaning forward—Fellini-esque in the mermaid-line gown—framed by an allée of cypress poplars. 'I feel like a princess,' she says. "You look like a princess!' the eager chorus of onlookers—glam team, seamstresses, production crew—parries back. A team of Dolce tailors, dressed in crisp white work coats with black crochet Peter Pan collars and grosgrain ribbon belts, unfolds a tulle and lace veil with the precision of surgeons. When a winged ant gets caught in the delicate fabric, a frenzy of hushed, urgent Italian ensues before the ant is carefully, gingerly dislodged. The veil is applied to Sánchez's head like a crown. A man on a scooter tootles past the property line and a momentary panic sets in. The location has been chosen to avoid any chance of Milanese paparazzi. Was the man wearing a GoPro? No, the Italian shoot producer assures everyone. That was just a maize farmer headed to the neighboring property. No GoPro.

Possible strikers AC Milan could target this summer
Possible strikers AC Milan could target this summer AC Milan are gearing up for a new era under new manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has returned to San Siro after 11 years. Luka Modric is set to become the first of many signings in what promises to be a busy summer transfer window. Advertisement While a plethora of midfielders continue to get linked with Milan, signing a striker will be as important. The Rossoneri paid €32 million for Santiago Gimenez in February, but the Mexican has failed to replicate the sublime form he showed at Feyenoord. Alvaro Morata, who was signed last summer, struggled to make an impact before moving to Galatasaray on loan in the winter transfer window. Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham are also on the verge of leaving San Siro this summer. Here are the possible centre forwards Milan could target this summer Dusan Vlahovic The Serbian striker has been heavily linked with a move to Milan, with Allegri looking for a reunion after working with him at Juventus. Advertisement Vlahovic's future appears to lie far away from Juventus, who are open to cashing in on him this summer before his deal expires in a year. The former Fiorentina man has had mixed success with the Old Lady, failing to live up to his hefty €70 million transfer fee. A lot can be attributed to the Old Lady's collective decline in recent years, with Inter Milan and Napoli knocking them off their perch. Nevertheless, Vlahovic's talent is undeniable, and he can reach the top in the right environment. Vlahovic has a similar profile to Gimenez – tall, physical, predatory instincts inside the box and good build-up play. Advertisement Juve want to recoup at least €30 million from Vlahovic, and Milan can provide him with an escape route to revive his career. Moise Kean Kean has reinvented himself at Fiorentina after bagging 25 goals and four assists last season. The Italian's stock has skyrocketed, with several European heavyweights and Saudi clubs hot on his trail. Milan are among the interested parties for the former Everton star, but La Viola are trying to keep him for next season. Goncalo Ramos Goncalo Ramos provides an excellent opportunity for Milan as he faces an uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese striker has slipped down the pecking order under manager Luis Enrique following his €80m move from Benfica. Advertisement Still, Ramos has displayed his class and finishing prowess even with the limited opportunities, playing a part in PSG's treble last season. Ousmane Dembele has found unprecedented success after being converted into a No.9 and will continue to play in his newfound position next season. PSG might look to count Ramos as an ideal backup unless a huge offer knocks on their door. Milan need a young forward to spearhead their attack for years to come, and Ramos can be a top addition. Mateo Retegui Retegui enjoyed a breathtaking 2024/25 campaign with Atalanta, finishing as Serie A's top scorer with 25 goals. Advertisement He racked up 37 goal contributions in total to fortify his status as one of the finest strikers in Europe. The 26-year-old would be a brilliant signing for Milan, but it would be difficult to prise him away from Atalanta. Especially, the absence of Champions League football at Milan next season may not appeal to Retegui.

Milan maintain Xhaka pursuit despite move for Ricci
Milan reportedly remain interested in signing Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen, as the Rossoneri prepare to renegotiate with the German club over the price tag. Xhaka has been strongly linked with a move to Milan in recent weeks and despite the player's willingness to join the Rossoneri, Leverkusen have been standing strong over their demands for the player. LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY – APRIL 12: Granit Xhaka of Bayer 04 Leverkusen is seen during the Bundesliga match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 1. FC Union Berlin at BayArena on April 12, 2025 in Leverkusen, Germany. (Photo by) For this reason, Samuele Ricci has instead been touted with a possible switch to Massimiliano Allegri's side – the 23-year-old looking set to leave Torino for Milan. Advertisement However, according to the latest reports from IlMilanista, the two deals are not mutually exclusive and, if the finances behind the deals work out, both could be possible. What Milan need to unlock Xhaka deal The reports from Italy suggest that Leverkusen are demanding a fee in the region of €15 million for the 32-year-old – whilst Milan are only prepared to offer €10 million currently. Leverkusen are in no rush to sell and appear to be standing firm over their demands. MAINZ, GERMANY – MAY 17: Granit Xhaka of Bayer 04 Leverkusen arrives at the stadium prior to the Bundesliga match between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen at MEWA Arena on May 17, 2025 in Mainz, Germany. (Photo by) In the coming weeks, the Rossoneri are expected to make some key sales – with Theo Hernandez heading to Al-Hilal and Alvaro Morata departing for Como – on top of the £46.5 million gained from the transfer of Tijjani Reijnders to Manchester City. With these sales, Milan may be able to finance both deals for Ricci and Xhaka – but the latter will hinge on Leverkusen's willingness to negotiate over price.
