Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Vibe Dampened by Ivanka Trump's Security Detail, Says ‘Source'

Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Vibe Dampened by Ivanka Trump's Security Detail, Says ‘Source'

Yahoo4 hours ago

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding is the ceremony of the year, which has taken over the entirety of Venice, with Ivanka Trump having arrived for the festivities with her own security. However, the couple's wedding team is seemingly irritated because of the security detail President Donald Trump's daughter brought with her. According to a source, it might have dampened the vibe of the star-studded nuptials.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are all set to have a billion-dollar wedding in Venice, Italy. They have reportedly taken over the City of Canals and are observing major safety measures due to the ongoing protests. However, it seems like the couple's VIP guest, Ivanka Trump, has taken it up a notch.
A source told Rob Shuter, 'She didn't come alone — she brought Washington with her.' The businesswoman and her husband, Jared Kushner, have arrived at the wedding with their own security detail. Supposedly, it has caused disruption and impacted the Amazon founder's wedding vibe, which has annoyed his logistics team.
According to the insider, Trump's private security has turned the couple's 'exclusive romance' into a nightmare. Due to metal detectors and black SUVs lining up, her team has disrupted Bezos's chilled-out ceremony. 'Let's just say Jeff's not used to being told he can't go somewhere,' the source added. His crew is seemingly facing issues with the entry and exit gates.
Shuter got in touch with a guest, who said, 'Bezos has the money — but Ivanka brought the muscle.' The nuptials have turned into a turf war due to the duo's teams butting heads over drone flight zones. Ivanka Trump's security is allegedly adding to Jeff Bezos' trouble amid the ongoing protests, as the locals protest his shutting down the Italian city for his wedding.
The Amazon founder and his fiancée have planned a three-day ceremony, with the couple scheduled to tie the knot on Friday, June 27. The celebrity guests, including Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Scooter Braun, Khloe Kardashian, and Kris Jenner, have arrived at the venue. It was previously reported that the wedding venue was kept a secret from the attendees till the very last minute.

The Sanchez/Bezos Merger: How To Get Married, Though Thousands Object

The It Couple: Lauren Sanchez and US founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, leave the Aman Hotel in Venice on June 25, 2026. Celebrities in superyachts sail into Venice this week for the three-day wedding party of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, despite irate locals who say the UNESCO city is no billionaire's playground. The tech magnate and journalist have reportedly invited about 200 guests to their multi-million dollar nuptials in the Italian city, which are expected to kick off on June 26 and end Saturday with a ceremony at a secret location. (Photo by Stefano Rellandini / AFP) (Photo by STEFANO RELLANDINI/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images Though anything but a 'normal' wedding in location, guests, detail or outlay, in its familial contours at least, the onrushing Lauren Sanchez/Jeff Bezos nuptial weekend remains a deeply ordinary American event: Big blended family, second march down the aisle for the bride, second for the groom, their (largely grown) kids hanging about, and a few trusted business associates, friends and their families queuing up to party hearty. Understandably, the lovebirds are going big with all this, and in Venice, of all places, because, again, with previous marriages behind them, they would like to declare that this time is really, All good. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Bezos, a June thing it is, then. A banner showing a giant red 'X' on Jeff Bezos' name is removed from the bell tower of San Giorgio Maggiore, a small island part of Venice where the billionaire will marry is fiancee, journalist Lauren Sanchez at the end of June, on June 12, 2025. Poster campaigns and stickers have spread throughout the city, including one with images of Bezos reading "No space for Bezos" as some local residents protest claiming the city is transformed into a playground for billionaires.

No grand soirée — no Versailles ball hosted by Madame de Pompadour, no Met Gala, no rager on Ibiza — occurs in a political or social vacuum. In the instance of this current, admittedly somewhat large affair, across town, housed in a ramshackle palazzo (doubling as an alternative nightclub) called 'Laboratorio Occupato Morion,' at No. 2951 Calle del Morion, the small but doughty 'No Space For Bezos' protest collective remains handily and happily dug in amid a plethera of other groups, calling for their adherents to bring 'crocodile' pool floats, along with goggles and snorkels in the service of a form of jolly but pointed havoc on the to-ing and fro-ing of the wedding party and guests this weekend. Not necessarily the most salubrious swim for the prospective demonstrators' health, those rather questionable lagoon-city waters, but it could be good sport.

(Photo by Stefano Mazzola/GC Images) GC Images Geographically, their Calle del Morion HQ location is proof, if any were needed, that Venice's urban matrix is ultra-tight: It's just a few hundred yards north of the Arsenale, the ancient shipyard and weapons larder, now a public event space that has, ironically enough, been booked by the Sanchez/Bezos organizers for a portion of the weekend celebrations due to its lone entrance by water. Which tactical advantage to the wedding party, in turn, is just one of the many reasons that the countervailing 'No Space For Bezos' demonstration planners have wholeheartedly embraced Venice's aquatic urban terrain, e.g., with snorkels and pool floats. By definition, anybody attempting to move through Venice will meet some, or several, bodies of water to be traversed. This fact frames the parameters of the contest between the Sanchez/Bezos organizers and security forces on the one side, and arrayed against them, the several groups planning to utilize the occasion of the weekend to publicize their causes.

(Photo by Marco BERTORELLO / AFP) (Photo by MARCO BERTORELLO/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images In the largest strategic sense, the wedding party's Achilles heel is its size, shoe-horned in upon Venice's arthritic pre-medieval matrix. Ignoring for the moment the many dozens of service and security personnel required to stage functions such as this (and their crucial need to get around), no Venice canal except for the Grand and a handful of others can tolerate a launch big enough to board the wedding couple and their 200-odd guests at once. Every movement of that crowd must, per force, be made in bits, and thus fragmented, it becomes exponentially harder for the Sanches/Bezos team to secure that movement. This is the reason that the organizers booked 40 of Venice's gorgeous mahogany motoscafi, the private launches and their expert pilots, for the duration. Worse comes to worst, they can flat outrun anything trying to interdict them. Acquatically, then, the game becomes one of chokepoints. Pictured below, Greenpeace's admonishment to the groom, a ground banner unfurled in St. Mark's square on June 23.

Parenthetically, it will remain an irony of the weekend that, whatever transpires the San Giorgio Maggiore basilica and/or in any of the weekend's other splendid venues, it's been reported that the couple's troth has long been pled and entered (with full legal effect), alongside the finalization of a crucial, attendant pre-nup, back home in the good ol' USA. Put differently, no Italian law or obfuscatory European Union clerical minutae dare intrude by virtue of the romantic European location in which the wedding will be celebrated, thank you very much. At the stratospheric atmospheres in which the Sanchez/Bezos family operates, pre-nups can require the legal dog teams to pull the weighty sled of the fortune across some forbidding personal and civil terrain. It seems as if that's done and dusted. The more immediate point is that the 'No Space For Bezos' people are deeply local. Their specific knowledge of sites and access points is their strength, which very much does not mean that the Italian organizers, hoteliers, restaurateurs, security services, and municipal authorities who are integral to the celebration do not, also, know the intricacies of the Lagoon and its jewel-box city. They do. Rather, the point is that this weekend's thrust and parry between the party versus their numerous party-poopers will be more sophisticated than we might imagine. It's significant that Venice has a 400-year tradition of mask-making and masquerade balls — which is to say, the town is nothing if not about intrigue. Furthermore, this weekend's contest is certainly not as simple as big-dude-sails-in-with-his-woman-on-his-big-boat-and-bigfoots-Venice, as some the opposing forces to the weekend's celebration would have it. In fact, Venice, the old late-Byzantine trading colossus, has arguably hosted thousands of bigger and finer party weekends in over its milliennium-and-a-half reign as the pearl atop the crown of the Adriatic. Partying, and courtly intrigue, is a thousand-year-old Venetian mark in trade. A swift refreshing stroll through Othello should remind us of that. For their part, having spent the last weeks on the 415-foot Koru meandering up the Dalmatian coast toward Venice, at the last minute (seemingly), the couple decided to leave the boat on the northern Croatian coast before choppering over the head of the Adriatic and dropping into Venice on June 25. Of all the tactical decisions they could have made around the weekend, this one reeks of intelligence in every sense, indicating knowledge of the gathering stormclouds against the weekend's celebrations, as well as indicating the keenness with which that knowledge is put to defensive use. Put bluntly, underway, on the high Med, the Koru presents a relatively fleet and negligible target. But in addition to its eye-watering football-field-and-then-some length, the Koru has a 55-foot beam and an understandable, but still gargantuan, 18-and-a-half-foot draft. There aren't many places in Venetian lagoon that can handle that. So: Moored in Venice for three days straight and hardly missable, the Koru — unanimously regarded as an extravagant toy by 100% of the protest groups — would have only become a $500-million sitting duck requiring massive 24/7 security, in effect actually begging for any number of protest groups' dinghy crews, or scuba specialists, to pop over and festoon its classy navy-blue hull with any amount of paint, signage or graffiti for their causes. The weekend is by no means over, but one extremely private ultra-Venetian venue has been thoroughly and seamlessly enjoyed, on June 26, with a dinner for the couple and their guests at the immense and immensely luxurious Palazzo Brandolini, presiding over the south bank of the Grand Canal. In many different ways — culturally, politically, socially, as well as topographically — the place is unassailable. Background: The Palazzo is owned by Cristiana Brandolini D'Abbo, the nonagenarian sister of the late Fiat chair Gianni Angeli and aunt to Prince Egon von Furstenberg, the first husband of designer Diane von Furstenberg Von Furstenburg herself has been coming to this house since she was a young married, and now spends months every year here. She and her current husband Barry Diller rent the palazzo's piano nobile , the 'noble' or first floor, with its enormous reception and dining rooms, and for the last decade have hosted the Diller von Furstenburg (DVF) Family Foundation award events here. In a larger way, Diller and von Furstenburg represent a Venetian template for Bezos and Sanchez, which is why an eve-of dinner in the Palazzo Brandolini for the wedding party kickoff was apt. Diller has long advised Bezos, Diller and von Furstenburg have hosted Sanchez and Bezos in Venice before, and along the way, the three-masted Koru was, after much study by Bezos, modeled on the schooner-rigged three-masted Diller yacht Eos . Glassware for the von Furstenburg/Diller party and for the weekend in general is being provided by Cristiana's grandson Marcantonio Brandolini, whose roots can be traced back fifteen hundred years to a Brandolini ancestor who fought the Goth invasion in the mid-500s. The point is this: Yes, the nationality of the this weekend's betrothed is American. Yes, they have quite a bit of money. But their connections to the town and its broad community of global citizens go a quite a bit deeper than first meets the eye. As cosmopolitan as Venice is, as historically important as one of Europe's post-Roman, grand medieval and Renaissance trading posts, the town remains a tough nut to crack, socially speaking. Whatever disruption, minor or major, this weekend's protest efforts may attain, the newly wedded couple have dug taproots in town that cannot be easily pulled. Because: Deeper into Venice's Grand Canal traditions and families than the Palazzo Brandolini is hard to get. The group 'No Space For Bezos' created their rather catchy name on the fly, plucked with a bit of spark from the fact that what's come to be called 'over-tourism' has in fact been crowding out the natives, artisans, business people and regular workers from charming towns across the northern littoral of the Mediterannean — from the Costa del Sol right through Italy and Greece to the shores of Anatolia. First Venice, then Barcelona — where tourists of all stripes are now routinely hosed down in protest by locals armed with water pistols — have fallen victim to the effects of mass tourism. They do have a point. The Med is a gorgeous place and a wellspring of global, and Western, culture. Like many other such places, inevitably, it's becoming less and less authentic. Whatever else it is or might be, the Sanchez/Bezos wedding is not the wellspring of that.

J.Balvin's Fave Amiri Brand Confirms Expanding Women's Category

PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 26: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from ... More Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Amiri Menswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 26, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) Since 2019, when Renzo Rosso's OTB Group bought a minority stake in the LA-based menswear brand Amiri for an undisclosed sum, the brand has been on an upward growth trajectory. It's partly due to Rosso's experience, former Burberry SVP Adrian Ward-Rees joining the brand in 2023, and the designer Mike Amiri's penchant for turning classic 1970s California design tropes into red-hot merch in the 2020s. Now, as the brand heads into its 11th year, among the news at the Spring 2026 Paris show is the expansion of women's clothing. For this outing, Amiri turned the Carreau du Temple, a former 19th-century glass and ironworks market turned event space, into a French-style garden complete with a functioning fountain to recall a hotel or resort, as Amiri said backstage. As inspiration was drawn from a friend and LA-based artist Wes Lang, who created a body of work at the infamous Chateau Marmont, that famous lodging, or even the Ritz Paris, seemed an apt inspiration for the set.

(Photo by) 'It's based on having loungewear and hotel pjs, things you usually wear around the house, but formalizing it a bit, wearing in a way that feels like a suit but not really. It's taking ideas of traditional casual wear and mixing them into men's tailoring,' he said backstage post show, in between posing for photos with his famous guestlist such as J. Balvin, Michael Cooper Jr., Russel Westbrook, Anderson Park, Becky G., Lucky Blue Smith, K-Pop sensation Sunwoo and Bronx-native rapper French Montana.

(Photo by Swan Gallet/WWD via Getty Images) The collection was heavy on satin dressing and louche styles, a men's smoking robe, for instance, with tasseled belting worn over loose-fit pants or a pajama top replacing a traditional men's shirt, enhanced the layered looks. One particular shirt style, in terracotta satin and a cream and black version, was reminiscent of the much-berated ruffle 'prom' shirt of the 1970s and 80s, but was made using feathers according to the designer and was totally chic.

(Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) The women's looks centered on slinky gown styles, often crocheted or in satin and lace, or mimicked the 'le smoking' tailored attitude of the men's style. It's the second time that traditionally feminine styles shown on cisgender women have graced Amiri's runway after adapting previous men's styles to women's silhouettes in the brand's seasonal commercial offerings. 'Our womenswear is expanding every season and is currently the fastest growing category in the company. Incrementally, we're getting there,' the designer confirmed. The collection also introduced a new women's bag, the 'Honey' style in crocodile-embossed suede or supple leather in a relaxed, slouchy shape. While growth in the women's category is on the rise, one clothing category won't be a focus for Amiri come Spring 2026, despite being the news on most runways in Paris, is men's shorts, formal or otherwise.

(Photo by) When queried if he had an aversion to the mini pants, Amiri smiled. 'I do shows with shorts, but I made a conscious decision this season not to do shorts or to put them in the show, but they could have easily fit in here, the whole style works with that. It's talking about formalities in a way, and I think PJs are mostly long,' he offered. Indeed, and in Amiri's hand, these chic, comfortable alternatives to tailored styles will be at home in Los Angeles, a Parisian garden, and anywhere in between.

Everyone Is Tweeting About What Dejon From "Love Island" UK Did In The Sleepover Episode – Let's See How You Feel About It

If you've been keeping up with Love Island UK, you'll know that this season is extra juicy because of one person on the show – Dejon. Twitter: @_annatx In one of the most recent episodes, four of the islanders were given the opportunity to have a "sleepover" with four new bombshells, giving them all a chance to have a night alone with their new prospects. One of the islanders picked for the sleepover was Dejon, who spent time with Bombshell Caprice. Despite initially being coupled up with Meg, he had a rather flirtatious night with Caprice. At one point, he even hand-fed her grapes. Despite all the flirting, Dejon didn't share a bed with Caprice – shocking considering the rest of the bombshells and islanders who attended the sleepover did. Twitter: @AllThingsLIUK Of course, people on X were quick to share their thoughts, with some people thinking Dejon purposely held back from sleeping in the same bed with Caprice because he's paranoid that it'll somehow get back to the others in the main villa. Twitter: @kay2busy13_ Others were "proud" of him for not sharing a bed. Twitter: @hol__trems On the other hand, there were a few who called Dejon out, calling his bed move "vindictively strategic." Twitter: @arin_olaa And last but not least, some just thought it would've been better if someone else had been at the sleepover instead of Dejon. Twitter: @shuhnay_ What do you think? Let me know in the comments. And remember, you can watch all of Love Island UK on Hulu now!
