Last Updated:
Lauren Sanchez late Friday posted a photo on Instagram -- under a new name, @laurensanchezbezos -- showing her in a long flowing white dress and Jeff Bezos in black tie.
Amazon founder and business tycoon Jeff Bezos got married to journalist and his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez on Friday at a sumptuous ceremony with the rich and famous on an island in Venice's lagoon.
'This city seems impossible! It can't exist and yet, here it is!" an enchanted Bezos told a La Repubblica journalist Thursday who got close to the magnate as he whizzed around the canals by boat.
Serenaded
Sanchez late Friday posted a photo on Instagram — under a new name, @laurensanchezbezos — showing her in a long flowing white dress and him in black tie, though it did not provide any indication where it was taken.
The tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, stayed at the Aman hotel, a luxury 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge.
The couple exchanged vows at a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore Friday afternoon, according to Italian media reports.
The wedding is thought to have taken place in a vast open-air amphitheatre on the island, which sits across from Venice's iconic St Mark's Square.
The newlyweds were to be serenaded by Matteo Bocelli, son of the famed opera singer Andrea Bocelli, reports said.
Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino prepared the wedding dinner, while the cake has been made by French pastry chef Cedric Grolet, the Corriere della Sera said.
Sanchez is alleged to have prepared 27 outfits to wear during the festivities.
The Costume
The bride was 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. The Milanese lace-wedding dress had 180 chiffon-covered buttons and took over 900 hours to make.
Featuring on the Vogue cover, Laura Sanchez is now officially Laura Sanchez Bezos. Her tulle-and-lace veil, inspired by the one Sophia Loren wore in the 1958 film 'Houseboat." 'It is a departure from what people expect…but it's very much me," said the bride ahead of her wedding.
Jeff Bezos' ensemble was a traditional black tuxedo with a vest and a bow tie. He paired his wedding look with $650 sunglasses from Louis Vuitton.
The Guest List
Music legends Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga lit up the affair for the couple and the star-studded guest list. From Bill Gates to Oprah Winfrey, the Bezos-Sanchez wedding had 200 of the most elite. Khloe Kardashian and Sidney Sweeney showed up in pink, while florals shone bright with Oprah Winfrey and Kendall Jenner spotted ahead of the wedding festivities.
Wedding guests snapped by paparazzi as they hopped into boats included Jordan's Queen Rania, French luxury goods executive Francois-Henri Pinault, American football player Tom Brady, US fashion designer Spencer Antle, the singer Usher, and Ivanka Trump, daughter of US President Donald Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner.
The guests reportedly lunched Thursday in the gardens of Villa Baslini, on the islet of San Giovanni Evangelista.
The celebrations are set to end Saturday with a party likely at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse.

‘Hathkadi' Goes Viral: Mr. UK's Latest Track Becomes a Chart-Topper Across Platforms
Hathkadi, the latest release from UK-based singer and producer Mr. UK, is making waves in the Indian music industry and beyond. Released under the banner of Zee Music, the high-energy dance number has quickly gained viral status, amassing over 1 million views on YouTube and inspiring more than 50,000 user-generated reels on Instagram within weeks of its release. The track combines classic Bollywood elements with contemporary pop and R&B influences, making it a favorite across generations and geographies. Its catchy rhythm, vibrant visuals, and memorable hook step have contributed to its rapid rise in popularity. A Cinematic Music Video with a Twist The music video for Hathkadi features Mr. UK in the role of a charismatic criminal and actress-influencer Muskaan Siddiqui as a glamorous police officer. The storyline, which follows an unlikely romantic tension between the two characters behind prison bars, has resonated with viewers for its playful yet bold narrative. Shot with high production value, the video has been praised for its glossy aesthetics, dynamic choreography, and on-screen chemistry between the leads. Siddiqui's performance, in particular, has drawn attention for her screen presence and dance skills, while Mr. UK's portrayal has added dramatic flair to the visual storytelling.

Buying a Labubu toy? Here's how to spot a fake
Those wide-eyed little creatures hanging off backpacks or staring out from shelves? They're Labubus and they're absolutely everywhere right now. If you haven't seen one, you probably haven't looked hard enough. Labubus from Pop Mart stores and their online shop often sell out fast, leaving fans to chase them elsewhere. (@LABUBU_0x/ X) These collectible figures from Pop Mart have become a global obsession, and that has made them incredibly hard to buy. Pop Mart stores and their online shop often sell out fast, leaving fans to chase them elsewhere. Once stock dries up, buyers head to Amazon or resellers like StockX — but even then, it's hit or miss. And with the hype comes a big problem: fakes. Known online as 'Lafufus,' these counterfeit toys are showing up more and more. Many look convincing at first glance, but small details reveal which ones are real. StockX is a trusted resale site because it uses a serious verification system to weed out knockoffs. But if you're buying Labubu dolls from other places, like random Amazon listings or independent sellers, the risk goes up. Some buyers don't realize they've bought a fake until it's too late. So how do you tell if your Labubu is the real ? Start with the box. Authentic packaging has a matte, soft feel with dull colors. Real boxes also come with a QR code that takes you straight to Pop Mart's official site. If the code leads somewhere else or redirects after a weird pause it's likely fake. Not all old Labubu models have QR codes, though, so the missing code doesn't always mean trouble. There are more ways to check. First, count the teeth. Every real Labubu has exactly nine sharp teeth. Also Read: What are Labubu dolls? All about internet's latest obsession Real Labubus have a soft peachy tone Next, check the color of its face. Real Labubus have a soft peachy tone. If the color is too orange, pink, or yellow, it might be fake. One of the newest ways Pop Mart is fighting fakes is with a UV stamp. Starting with 2024 releases, official Labubus now have a hidden stamp on the right foot that only shows up under UV light. What you see depends on the series. A 'Have A Seat' Labubu should appear to be sitting in the UV stamp. A 'Macaron' series one should show a standing figure. No stamp at all? It could be an older model or a fake. If you're still shopping for one, the safest option is always Pop Mart itself, either in-store or through their website. But those often sell out in minutes. When that happens, StockX is your next safest bet, known for verifying high-demand products like sneakers and now Labubu dolls, too. Amazon's official Pop Mart listings are another option, but those often go just as quickly. And if you're not careful, it's easy to click on a third-party seller and end up with a fake. Scammers know how popular these toys are, and they're cashing in. So before you buy, know the signs. Nobody wants to pay for a collectible and end up with a cheap knockoff.
