Ivanka Trump sparks security fears at Jeff Bezos wedding with intimate photo 'revealing location'
Ivanka Trump has sparked security fears after she potentially revealed the new location of the star-studded wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
The three-day party, $48 million affair in Venice had a last minute venue change due to protests from angry locals and global tensions arising from the US strike on Iran over this past weekend.
Ivanka has ignited concerns after she posted a photo of her hotel room number alongside several pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner in their formal attire.
'Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends, Lauren Sanchez and @JeffBezos,' she posted on X on Thursday afternoon.
The image set contained a photograph of a white door with the couple's room number and the word 'Dolce Vita' written on the front.
It immediately sparked concerned replies from eagle-eyed social media users.
'Did you dox location by posting the photo of that door?' one person replied to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people.
The pre-wedding festivities began Thursday with what was believed to be the rehearsal dinner, an event attended by a long list of celebrities.
They include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, all of whom were dressed to the nines.
Ivanka and Kushner were seen arriving in Venice ahead of the event in a gondola. The couple previously jetted in with their children Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 10, and Theodore James, eight.
The first daughter shared snaps of her and husband Jared Kushner, but included one image which may have given away the location of the exclusive event

Ivanka is one of the most insulated guests at the wedding, since she has a Secret Service detail that is no doubt causing a headache for other partygoers.
A heavy police presence has been spotted in the city ahead of the nuptials, while divers were seen conducting sweeps of the canals.
On Thursday, the bride was seen sporting terrifyingly tight corset for the party, while her Amazon billionaire groom was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and sunglasses.
Bezos held out his hand as he and Sanchez stepped aboard a water taxi, before the the couple shared a quick kiss in front of adoring fans.
Ivanka and her family jetted off to Venice on Tuesday to make the wedding.
The family has been seeing enjoying the sites, spotted getting into a water taxi to explore the city on Wednesday.
Ivanka has been sharing their trip to social media, posting some snaps from the family vacation later on in the day.
'Da Venezia, con amore,' she captioned a series of photos, which translates to 'From Venice, with love.'
The upcoming wedding seems to be a family affair for Ivanka, as other members of the Trump family are rumored to be among the 200 guests.
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.
A source revealed to Daily Mail that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well.
Bezos' superyacht, Koru, which includes a bronze goddess statue that shares similarities with his lover Sanchez, is also in the area, moored off the coast of Croatia, which is located across from Italy in the Mediterranean.
However, not all are happy about Bezos taking over the city for days.
On Monday, Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner in St Mark's Square, the iconic heart of Venice protesting against the wedding.
It showed an image of Bezos face and the slogan: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.'
Activists from British group 'Everyone Hates Elon' were also involved and said they had carried it out to highlight the, 'environmental and social injustice of the wedding'.
One said: 'Bezos encapsulates an economic and social model which is steering us towards collapse.
'All to often now social injustice travels on an equal par with the climate, on one side the arrogance of a few billionaires who have a lifestyle that devastates the planet, the other people who suffer daily from the environment crisis.'
These demonstrations are part of the reason why Bezos chose to move part of the wedding elsewhere. He's also hired a team of former US marines to provide security for the event.
The actual wedding ceremony is set to kick off on Friday.

This musical is an ungodly mess. How did so many talented people get here?
As I sat through this pretty crummy new Disney musical, the question 'Who wrote this rubbish?' rose uncharitably into my head. The answer turns out to be a show in itself: maybe a more interesting one than the merry mess so many talented people have put their names to here. The script is credited to Robert Horn and Kwame Kwei-Armah, who until recently was the artistic director of the Young Vic. In the course of Hercules's tortuous progress from off-Broadway in 2019 to Hamburg to the West End, though, they took over from another writer, Kristoffer Diaz. He was basing it on the work of the five credited screenwriters of the entertaining 1997 animation. They, in turn, were working from a story cooked up by another 13 writers over several years. All of whom were operating from the Romanised version of the Greek myth of Heracles, son of Zeus.

Why the A-list love Bella Freud's couch
Bella Freud is a fashion designer, the daughter of a famous portraitist (Lucian) and the great-granddaughter of the founding father of psychoanalysis (Sigmund). Her podcast Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud knowingly draws on this background. In each episode she invites a well-known guest to sit for her — or actually, lie on her couch, as if in a therapy session — then asks them about their lifelong relationship with clothes as a way into bigger themes. It is a strong format, instantly conferring structure and intimacy. Clothes can offer our first shot at self-expression and have a transformative, talismanic effect. But outfits can be what we hide behind too. Even celebrated beauties, you learn here, lack confidence and have complex relationships with their bodies. Freud, who has been in analysis for years, makes tongue-in-cheek nods to the therapy process. This is a visualised podcast, one of the few that might merit watching over just listening: Freud sets her stage stylishly, with precise attention to details like lighting. Each episode begins with the client being buzzed into Freud's consulting room. A metronome or old-fashioned clock ticks. Moody piano music plays. The camera lingers over arresting black-and-white portraits, among them a teenage Bella with her father.

Kylie Jenner sizzles in busty black bikini the morning after Bezos-Sanchez wedding as her sisters ditch Venice
Kylie Jenner is enjoying Venice after the lavish $50million wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, despite sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian exiting the festivities early. She was spotted on a boat in the famous canals of Venice wearing a black bikini that showed off a lot of her augmented breasts. The Kardashians star, 27, shared a selfie staring soulfully into the camera to her Instagram Stories. She wore her raven hair down and in loose curls around her shoulders and captioned the snap, 'pool day.' Kylie was one of the approximately 200 guests of the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez and she made a major wedding faux pas with her chosen dress. She wore a figure-hugging, corseted dress that looked very white. The Kylie Cosmetics founder received backlash for wearing a white dress to the wedding. The color is typically reserved for the bride, and guests usually avoid white or any shade that could cause confusion or draw attention away from the bride. Jenner was photographed being helped onto a water taxi as she headed to the ceremony, wearing what appeared to be a white, corseted gown. Upon closer inspection, it turned out the dress was actually blue and silver - but looked white in certain lighting. The plunging ensemble, which left her ample assets on full display, boasted little black bows on the straps. Fans on social media also voiced their concern at the fashion faux pas as one wrote: 'I see a bride.' 'You get the feeling they want to outshine the bride those "Kartrashians,"' one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote. Described as the 'wedding of a century,' the 61-year-old Amazon founder and the former journalist, 55, exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday. Following the intimate ceremony, the billionaire couple hosted a star-studded rave. As the lavish celebration wound down, as Kendall Jenner was spotted departing by boat, set against the backdrop of stunning Italian architecture. Her stylish departure came just hours after photographers captured her sisters, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, making a swift exit from the celebration, boarding a waiting water taxi. 'To be fair the whole debacle is a lesson that proves the old saying "money can't buy you class"' they wrote. 'White should be the last color choice,' another user pointed out. 'Hanging your b**bs out at a wedding is another no, no,' another fan commented about Jenner's plunging neckline. 'These people are such attention seekers - it's quite gross to see the vanity on show.' The Bezos wedding began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice – but impeccable sources reveal that the Amazon founder and journalist-turned-philanthropist Lauren Sanchez are already married. A source closely connected to the organization of the week's events said: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. 'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' The source adds: 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. '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.
