Why Jeff Bezos' Wife Lauren Sánchez Didn't Want "Sexy" Wedding Dress
Originally appeared on E! Online No, Lauren Sánchez didn't find her wedding dress on Amazon. Instead, Jeff Bezos' bride relied on luxury fashion house Dolce & Gabbana to fit her in a custom gown featuring a high neckline, a snatched corset and hand-appliquéd lace for their June 27 nuptials in Venice, Italy. 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,'" she told Vogue of her wedding dress' design in an interview published shortly after the ceremony, "and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago." The journalist—who was previously married to talent agent Patrick Whitesell from 2005 to 2019—continued, 'I went into a lot of therapy and it's changed me in a bunch of ways. But it's really Jeff." Explaining how the billionaire has "revealed" her most confident self, Lauren said of her current mindset, "I feel safe. I feel seen. He lets me be me." And that's why she ultimately went for a dress based on the high-necked look Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in 1958's Houseboat. As she explained of Jeff, "Like I said about Sophia Loren being unapologetically free, he lets me be unapologetically free." Overall, Lauren spent a year and a half designing her dress with the intention of showing less skin. 'I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s," she recalled. "I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.'' For her wedding day jewelry, Lauren ditched the cushion-cut pink engagement ring Jeff, 61, proposed with in May 2023, opting to keep it simple with diamond and white gold earrings also made by Dolce & Gabbana. "We don't have a lot of traditions that we're keeping," she explained, sharing how the earrings would be her something borrowed. "I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it's a little different." More from E!

"I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it's a little different." As for her something blue? "Well, Blue Origin," she said, revealing that had brought up a secret souvenir from her April spaceflight on one of Jeff's astronautics company crafts. "Because it was literally one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life." But of course, the couple's multi-day celebrations included more than just Lauren's Loren-inspired gown. According to Vogue, she had also set aside a sweetheart neck gown inspired by the Rita Hayworth film Gilda for the wedding dinner, as well as an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress adorned with 600 yards of hand-sewn chain and 175,000 crystals for the after-party. Plus, she also chose a 2003 Alexander McQueen dress and the Schiaparelli corseted number for the wedding's not one, but two welcome parties. However, Lauren knows that the most talked-about look would be her wedding dress. After all, as she put it, "It is a departure from what people expect." "But it's very much me," added the Good Day L.A. alum, who tends to wear gowns with plunging necklines on the red carpet. "It's so elegant, it's timeless."

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez marry in Venice
Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos married Lauren Sanchez in a lavish ceremony on Friday in Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island. Sanchez first stepped out from the luxury Aman hotel the couple were staying at, wearing a skirt suit, and Bezos followed some two hours later. Sanchez's wedding dress was still kept under wraps at the time she hopped onto a motorboat from her hotel, but she later revealed the dress on her newly branded Instagram page with the name: Lauren Sanchez Bezos. The former journalist reportedly has 27 outfits prepared for festivities over three days, with Dolce & Gabbana having been the fashion house behind her wedding gown. Bezos wore a black tuxedo and a bow tie over a white shirt, as the official photo Sanchez shared on her Instagram photo showed. Bill Gates, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey among some famous guests at wedding The interest around the power couple's wedding sent the media into a tizzy, with dozens of photographers having parked themselves in boats outside Aman, and other hotels where guests stayed. Papparazzi took photos of numerous VIP guests including Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Jordan's Queen Rania, US football player Tom Brady, singer Usher and Ivanka Trump — the daughter of US President Donald Trump. Protesters flag taxes, cost-of-living and a massive carbon footprint Venice is one of the most iconic cities in the world, but it is also among the most vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Lauren Sanchez shares picture with Jeff Bezos as they tie the knot in star-studded ceremony in Venice
Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez have tied the knot in a lavish and star-studded wedding in Venice, Italy. The couple exchanged their vows on Friday, on the small island of San Giorgio, opposite St Mark's Square, in front of VIP guests including the Kardashians, Orlando Bloom and Oprah Winfrey. Sanchez, 55, posted a picture of herself on Instagram where she beamed in a white gown as she walked arm in arm with Bezos. She captioned it with the date of the nuptials, namely 27 June 2025, followed by a heart emoji. She also posted pictures of her in the classic mermaid-line gown, which featured Dolce & Gabbana's signature Italian lace. A traditional tulle-and-lace veil completed her look. "Not just a gown, a piece of poetry," she wrote on Instagram on the second day of the couple's three-day celebrations. Among the celebrities who were pictured on the wedding day were Ivanka Trump with her husband Jared Kushner, Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Khloe and Kim Kardashian. Bill Gates, Usher and Tom Brady were also pictured. Some 200-250 A-list guests from showbusiness, politics and finance are expected to attend the events, with the wedding and its parts estimated to cost €40m-€48m (£34m-£41m). Bezos, his now-wife and their famous guests have taken over numerous locations in the city, with the couple staying in the luxury Aman hotel, where rooms go for at least €4,000 per night. While the couple and their A-list guests were all smiles, some in Venice are not happy about the wedding - with protesters seeing it as an example of the city being gift-wrapped for ultra-rich outsiders. An activist climbed one of the poles in the main St Mark's Square on Thursday, unfurling a banner which said: "The 1% ruins the world."
