Jeff Bezos' star-studded guests finally leave Venice after 72-hour wedding
Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and new wife Lauren Sanchez tied the knot in front of 200 of the world's richest people over the weekend
The Kardashians and Oprah Winfrey were among the biggest names pictured leaving Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's 72-hour nuptials in Venice that has been dubbed 'the wedding of the century'.
Around 200 of the world's richest people descended on the Italian city for a thee-day celebration when the Amazon billionaire, 61, tied the knot with the 55-year-old American journalist and TV star over the weekend.
Looking a little tired out by the extravaganza, Kris Jenner, 69, was spotted walking arm in arm alongside Oprah, 71, and her BFF Gayle King, 70. But the trio still looked chic, with Kris in a jungle patterned two piece, Oprah in all white and Gayle in a colourful striped midi dress.
Also spotted leaving the high profile event was Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, 69, and his glamorous new girlfriend Paula Hurd, 62, who he has been dating since 2023 following his split from wife of 27 years Melinda in 2021.

Other huge stars who made the Bezos wedding invite list included Kris' daughters Kim Kardashian, 44, Khloe Kardashian, 41, Kendall Jenner, 29, and 27-year-old Kylie Jenner.
Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom, 48, was there as a 'newly single man' following his reported split from Katy Perry, who he was engaged to and with for almost a decade.
Another huge Hollywood actor who bagged himself an invite was Titanic legend Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, who was there with his 27-year-old Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
Pregnant model Karlie Kloss, 32, was a guest alongside her husband Joshua Kushner, 40. Karlie stunned in a pink floor length dress. The couple are expecting their third child later this year.
Also in attendance was Josh's brother Jared Kushner, 44, who is married to Donald Trump's 43-year-old daughter Ivanka. Though it's thought the US President was invited to the nuptials, he reportedly declined as a result of 'scheduling conflicts'.
White Lotus and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney, 27, R&B star Usher, 46, NFL star Tom Brady, 47 and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, 78, were also amongst the big name guests.
But perhaps one surprising celebrity who managed to bag an invite was British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. The 38-year-old Anything Could Happen songstress was spotted wearing a gorgeous burgundy sequin midi dress for the occasion which showed off her tanned, toned arms.

After performing on the Pyramid Stage in 2022, they returned to their stomping ground to perform to an eager crowd. However, during their live set, fans were heard to have shouted 'louder, louder'. The Mail Online has reported that other music nearby was drowning out the performance of Los Angeles-based siblings Haim had previously dropped several hints to fans that they would be performing at Worthy Farm in the weeks running up to Glastonbury. But despite the sound issues, the American rock band kept going with their performance. Their show was very well received by fans who took to social media in droves to praise the band, and declare that they should have been a headline act. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter -one fan gushed: "Haim were and are exceptional." American group 'confirm' secret Glastonbury set as they tease fans with big clue A second agreed: "HAIM's (not so) secret set at #Glastonbury was outstanding. Catch it on iPlayer if you missed it, it's so worth it." "The irony that the best TBAs Lewis Capaldi, Pulp & Haim all brilliant and could easily have headlined," noted a third user.

In a conversation with radio star Jo Whiley, Alana admitted: "We love The Park Stage. The Park Stage is our favourite. "[Be]cause that was like the first time we came to Glastonbury, we got to play The Park Stage. It felt like a movie." She continued: "It was like, 'What is going on? How did we get here?' And also just like… you never forget the first time you step onto the farm. "And it's the most insane feeling, I think, that you'll ever have. But it was incredible, it's the best festival in the world." 6 The trio suffered a technical blunder as some of their set was reportedly drowned out Credit: Alamy 6 However, fans still praised the group as they carried on Credit: Getty

EXCLUSIVE Lauren Sánchez opts for 'old Hollywood glamour' and 'playful garter', says stylist, as Jeff Bezos and his wife depart their Venice hotel after three-day wedding extravaganza
Lauren Sanchez Bezos opted to wear an 'old Hollywood glamour' inspired ensemble as she departed Venice after throwing 'the wedding of the century' on Sunday. The former journalist, 55, and her billionaire Amazon husband Jeff Bezos, 61, appeared to be in high spirits as they left the Italian city after spending a reported $46 million on their three-day nuptials. Their lavish three-day event earned them the title of 'wedding of the year' as it was attended by an array of star-studded guests - from A-listers to royals such as Kim Kardashian to Ivanka Trump and even Queen Rania of Jordan. The loved-up couple were seen waving at photographers as their boat pulled away from Aman Venice Hotel in the romantic Italian city. Lauren was seen in a loose-fitting sleeveless dress in white - continuing the bridal colour theme - which had a racy slit showing off her thigh, which was clad with what appeared to be an ivory lace garter. She paired her ensemble with a wide-brimmed black netted hat, glitzy diamond stud earrings and a pair of oversized black sunglasses to shade her eyes from the bright Mediterranean sun. According to award-winning stylist, Lisa Talbot, Lauren is 'clearly embracing summer elegance with a touch of bridal-inspired style,' with her ensembles over the past three days. She told MailOnline: 'The outfit she's wearing is a beautifully draped, off-white asymmetric dress, minimal yet sophisticated. The one-shoulder cut enhances the modern aesthetic while still giving off classic "old Hollywood" glamour vibes, especially when paired with her oversized black sun hat and dark sunglasses. Lisa said 'what really catches the eye' is what appears to be Lauren's 'playful garter', which peeking out from underneath her dress. She said: 'This kind of detail often signals something sentimental, traditionally associated with weddings or bridal-wear. It could be a playful nod to bridal tradition, a statement accessory, or even a private celebration (possibly hinting at a honeymoon or post-wedding trip). 'Whether intentional or not, this small styling element combined with the glowing, polished look and their joyful demeanour adds to the narrative of newlywed bliss. 'Her whole ensemble is a beautiful blend of glamour, femininity, and a whisper of romantic symbolism.' A garter's purpose is to hold up stockings but it has become a popular wedding staple over the years. According to wedding publication Brides, it is tradition for the bride's partner to remove the garter from underneath her gown, either using their hands or teeth, and toss it into a crowd of male wedding guests. Whoever catches the garter is meant to put it on the woman who catches the bride's wedding day flowers during the bouquet toss. The new Mrs Bezos wore her brunette tresses down in her signature bouncy blow-dry and opted for natural makeup as they sailed away onto their new adventure as a married couple. Celebrity stylist Rochelle White said that Lauren looked 'effortlessly elegant' on their final Venetian boat trip. The former journalist and her billionaire Amazon husband Jeff Bezos appeared to be in high spirits as they departed Venice after spending a reported $46 million on their three-day wedding nuptials She said: 'Her post wedding look is very chic with what I would say a soft ivory palette, her dress looks asymmetrical with shoulder detail.' Rochelle also said that her 'hidden and intriguing' garter being on display during this final wedding photo shoot may have been intentional by the new bride. She added: 'It seems to add to the playfulness of theme and fashion she has worn. I feel that this could be intentional but could also be the breeze. 'I feel with her oversized glasses and wide hat it gives Riviera glamour and modern romantic which creates a clean chic look. I feel that Lauren has created a wedding honeymoon look into a fashion moment.' It's expected the newly weds will now enjoy a lavish honeymoon, though details on where they'll enjoy their first weeks as a married couple have yet to be revealed. Described as the 'wedding of a century,' the Amazon founder and the former journalist exchanged vows in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Giorgio Maggiore island in Venice, Italy, on Friday. The nuptials began on Thursday with the first of three days of parties in Venice, followed by the intimate ceremony on Friday and then a star-studded rave. Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people were gathering for a final night's fun, and many of the VIP guests were spotted bidding goodbye to the Italian city the following morning. The party appeared to have a pyjamas and masked ball theme, with music from Usher and popular US DJ Cassidy. Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio led the star-studded departures from Venice on Sunday morning, following the final party on Saturday night of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's three-day wedding extravaganza. The newlyweds threw a Dolce Notte (Italian for sweet night) themed event on Saturday - following their wedding - where guests donned classy evening wear which consisted of lingerie and pyjama-inspired ensembles. Lauren - eager to be the star of the show at her nuptials - dazzled in a head pleated rose pink Atelier Versace gown designed by Donatella Versace herself, according to Vogue. The show-stopping ballgown was made of silk chiffon and had a bodice which was hand embroidered with an array of rose gold, bronze, and gold Swarovski crystals. The former journalist paired this look with a black jewel-encrusted clutch bag which read: 'Mrs. Bezos' with clear diamonds as she showed off her new status to the world. Lisa Talbot said that Lauren swapped her elegant daytime looks for 'full-on evening drama' in which she unlocked her 'inner Hollywood siren'. She said: 'The strapless silhouette hugged her figure to perfection, with intricate beadwork and sheer panelling that added both structure and sensuality. 'The bodice, corset-inspired in its fit, gave a nod to classic lingerie styling, while the soft pleated panels through the skirt introduced graceful movement as she stepped onto the boat. 'The combination of sheer inserts and light-catching embellishments gave the dress an ethereal quality glamorous but never overpowering.' Lisa said that Lauren's look was 'the perfect blend of sensual and sophisticated' and serves as a reminder that she 'understands the impact of fashion storytelling, particularly on the global stage'. She said she believes that Lauren would've spent much time constructing this look right down to the very final detail, as seen with her glamorous new bag. Speaking of the 'Mrs Bezos' bag, the stylist added: 'The playful, romantic touch added a charming twist to her otherwise ultra-glamorous ensemble and couldn't have been more fitting for a bride-to-be celebrating the hours after saying "I do." 'Paired with sleek, cascading waves and elegant drop earrings, this look was Lauren Sánchez in her fashion prime: confident, unapologetically glamorous, and fully embracing the spotlight.'

Beloved singer, 83, cancels concerts after suffering 'chronic and intense pain'
A beloved singer has been forced to cancel shows after facing 'unimaginable' pain that 'demanded immediate attention'. Paul Simon rose to fame in the 1960s as part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel alongside school friend Art Garkfunkel. After gaining a legion of fans releasing songs like The Sound of Silence and Bridge over Troubled Water, the American singer- songwriter went on to pursue a career as a solo artist in the 1970s. Throughout his career, Paul has won 16 Grammy Awards and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, realising his most recent album Seven Psalms in 2023. In April he kicked off his A Quiet Celebration Tour, which began in New Orleans and will travel throughout North America and Canada before ending in Seattle in August. However, this weekend he had to pull the plug on two performances just a few hours in advance due to ongoing health issues. Posting a statement online, his team explained that the 83-year-old could no longer play his scheduled shows at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. 'Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain,' it began. 'Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention. Unfortunately, we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them.' 'However, we are hopeful after this minor surgical procedure which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates. 'In the meantime, please go to your point of purchase or local ticket provider for a full refund.' Paul is next set to play at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center's Terrace Theater in Long Beach, California on July 7. His tour features the live debut of his Grammy-nominated album, Seven Psalms, along with a 'celebration of his timeless classics'. However when it was announced earlier this year, it was explained that he'd chosen 'intimate venues with optimal acoustics for this tour' as he had been dealing with 'severe hearing loss'. The musician had previously announced his retirement from touring in 2018 due to hearing loss. At the time he explained: 'I've often wondered what it would feel like to reach the point where I'd consider bringing my performing career to a natural end. Now I know it feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating and something of a relief. 'I love making music, my voice is still strong, and my band is a tight, extraordinary group of gifted musicians. I think about music constantly.' More Trending Last year he explained he's now lost 94% of hearing in his left ear and has been told by doctors that there is no cure, which has also left him unable to play certain songs from his catalogue, including his 1986 hit You Can Call Me Al. 'I'm going through my repertoire and reducing a lot of the choices that I make to acoustic versions,' he said on CBS Mornings. 'It's all much quieter. It's not You Can Call Me Al, that's gone. I can't do that one.' 'I guess what I'm most apprehensive about would be if I can't hear well enough to really enjoy the act of making music.' Got a story?
