Lauren Sánchez embraced 'her inner Hollywood siren' with 'classic lingerie styling' for post-wedding party in a Versace gown, says stylist - but added a hidden 'playful and romantic' detail
Lauren Sanchez Bezos has embraced her 'her inner Hollywood siren' by styling classy lingerie for her final wedding party, according to a style expert.
The newly-wedded Mrs Bezos, 55, could not stop beaming as she stepped out of the Aman Hotel in Venice alongside her new Amazon billionaire husband Jeff Bezos while heading to a post-wedding event on Saturday evening.
The newlyweds threw Dolce Notte (Italian for sweet night) themed event 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 nupitals - dazzled in a head pleated rose pink Atelier Versace gown designed by Donatella Versace herself.
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.
Stylist Lisa Talbot said that Lauren swapped her elegant daytime looks for 'full-on evening drama' in which she unlocked her 'inner Hollywood siren'.
She told MailOnline: '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'.
Lisa 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, she 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.'
Lauren and Jeff sealed their day of love with a kiss as they made their way to their final party after a three-day wedding extravaganza.
Waving to crowds from her balcony at the Aman Venice Hotel, the new Mrs Bezos stepped out in a figure-hugging pink embellished dress with a fishtail bottom.
The happy couple shared a smooch for all to see before whizzing away down a Venice canal.
Sanchez's simple wedding band was in stark contrast to the 30-carat $3million pink diamond she sported after Bezos asked her to marry him two years ago
Oprah Winfrey, Kylie and Kendall Jenner and Leonardo DiCaprio were also seen making their way to former medieval shipyard the Arsenale to close the nuptials.
A flotilla of paparazzi boats followed Jeff and Lauren and other VIPs as they made their way along the lagoon in private water taxis.
Around 200 of the world's wealthiest people were gathering for a final night's fun. Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga were expected to be among a host of performers.
Bezos, 61, worth £177billion, has taken over the Italian city for a wedding estimated to have cost up to £40million, small change for the world's third richest man.
But 700 demonstrators gathered at Santa Lucia railway station carrying protest banners and waving inflatable crocodiles.

The demo was organised by the No Space For Bezos group, with some carrying Amazon boxes with the words: 'Ordered, Shipped, Delivered, Rejected.'
But Bezos and Sanchez, 55, cared not a jot. It was the second marriage for both and they have seven children between them.
Earlier, they blew kisses on a visit to Harry's Bar yesterday – and give a first glimpse of their understated wedding rings.
Sanchez's simple wedding band was in stark contrast to the 30-carat $3million pink diamond she sported after Bezos asked her to marry him two years ago.
In the run-up to Friday's ceremony, that sparkler was switched to her right to make way for an upgrade – an even larger, brilliant-white diamond, estimated at 35 carats and worth $10million.
They married in a luxurious ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.
Vogue later released a set of pictures, with a braless Sanchez posing in her new husband's unbuttoned wedding shirt.
The Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo shirt was similar to the one he wore at Friday's ceremony.
The photoshoot took place earlier this month, the day after Sánchez and Bezos were at the Dolce & Gabbana atelier in central Milan for their final fittings.
She revealed her wedding dress was inspired by the high-necked lace wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 film Houseboat.
She told the magazine that a few conventions were to be honoured, including the groom not seeing the bride just before the wedding day.
The marriage is the second for both Bezos and Sanchez, who have seven children between them
Bill Gates was spotted leaving Hotel Regis after attending the wedding
US model Brooks Nader was seen wearing a black ensemble as she left the Gritti Palace Hotel for the third day's celebrations
Her Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings, four diamonds cut from a single stone and inlaid in white gold, were her something borrowed.
Her something blue was from Blue Origin, the spaceflight she took with five other women, including the singer Katy Perry, that was arranged by Bezos.
Sánchez said she carried a secret souvenir up in the rocket so she could bring it back for Bezos 'because it was one of the most profound experiences I've had in my life.'
She credited her new husband for 'transforming my life'.

Boris Becker set to become a father again at 57: Tennis star reveals wife, 35, is expecting his fifth child nine months after his two youngest children skipped their wedding
Boris Becker has confirmed his 35-year-old wife Lilian de Carvalho is pregnant with their first child together as the German tennis star prepares to become a father for the fifth time at the age of 57. Boris, who married the political risk analyst in Italy last year, declared 'the best is yet to come' in an Instagram post that showed Lilian sweetly cradling her baby bump. 'A tiny miracle is on the best is yet to come,' the Wimbledon icon captioned his post, as Boris is set to welcome his fifth child with a fourth different woman ahead of turning 60. The pregnancy announcement comes less than one year after the couple's lavish wedding ceremony in Portofino, Italy, as Boris hailed his wife as the reason he 'survived' a jail sentence after he was convicted of insolvency crimes. The former world number one spent eight months of a 30-month sentence for tax evasion in Wandsworth prison, before being released in 2022. Describing Lilian - who remained by Boris's side through the trial - Boris told Stern magazine their relationship is 'perhaps the first partnership on equal terms' while reflecting on his chequered past and tumultuous personal life. 'No one is more important than the other,' he said. 'I need Lilian, and I hope she needs me too.' As Boris readies for a new chapter with Lilian - 23 years his junior - it is world's away from the man who had a one-night stand with a Russian model while his first wife Barbara Feltus was in labour. Boris, who currently lives in Milan with Lilian, has been married twice before and has four children in total. He welcomed his firstborn, a son named Noah Gabriel, now 30, in 1994 with his wife Barbara. Their second child, Elias Balthasar, was born in 1999 - shortly before their landmark marriage ended due to Boris' infidelity that led him to the back room at Nobu for an ill-advised liason encounter with Russian model Angela Ermakova. As Boris' marriage to Barbara imploded, London-based Angela launched a paternity suit against the retired tennis player, claiming he is the father of her then-nine-month-old daughter Anna. Boris, then 33, publicly conceded he is the father of Anna, now 23, after a preliminary hearing at London's High Court in 2001 as the former tennis ace promised 'I will take care of little Anna' in a statement issued by his spokesperson at the time. His admission came after Boris accepted the results of a DNA test that proved their relationship after his lawyers suggested Anna was conceived by artificial insemination using the tennis star's 'stolen sperm' after oral sex. Boris detailed the brief romp with Angela in a 6x10ft broom cupboard at one of London's chicest restaurants in the 2023 documentary called Boom! Boom! The World Vs Boris Becker. In an interview for the film, Boris said he left Barbara after she kept bringing up his affair with Angela as he appeared to suggest their marriage broke down because she used his infidelity as a 'joker card' during arguments. According to his version of events, Boris described how on that fateful night he left his mother and pregnant wife alone in his hotel room to celebrate the end of his playing career after a fourth round defeat in Wimbledon. 'The first beer was opened right after the match,' he recalled. 'Then there was another beer. I wanted to go out with my coach, my physio and my [racket] stringer to celebrate. 'I said to my wife, "Tomorrow I will be a husband and father but tonight, one last time, I want to be a tennis player. "My wife was p****d off. I then had a long discussion with my mother on the balcony . . . and the last thing she said to me was, "Boris, just don't do anything stupid."' Later that evening, though, he went to Nobu, met Angela, and had that encounter in a back room of the restaurant. Writing in his 2003 autobiography, Boris recalled how Angela gave him the 'look of a the hunter that said "I want you"' before he followed her Then he went back to 'his boys', paid the bill for dinner and went home to Munich. Eight months later he received a fax from Ermakova saying she was pregnant. Becker initially denied paternity, but DNA tests proved that the child Anna (who had inherited his red hair) was indeed his, and he made a financial settlement with her mother — while also funding an expensive divorce from Barbara. Speaking during the documentary, Boris claimed that while Barbara initially tried to move past the 'broom closet' cheating scandal, she kept bringing up the fact that he had fathered a child with Angela during difficult moments. 'For months nobody knew yet [about the baby],' he said. 'But then every little thing we discussed, she came back with the joker card and said: 'You shut the f*** up, because if the world knew what you had done, you are lost.' Boris claimed Barbara inItially tried to move past the 'broom closet' cheating scandal while his wife Barbara had gone to hospital as she was feeling discomfort during her own pregnancy with her and Becker's son Elias. The encounter happened in a broom cupboard in London restaurant Nobu. 'She looked directly at me, the look of the hunter that said, 'I want you',' Becker recalled. 'There she was again, walking twice past the bar. And again this look. A little while later she left her table for the toilet. I followed behind...' He did not give Angela 'a second thought' again until she revealed the pregnancy, he said in the 2023 documentary, adding: 'She came in, she had a big coat on. 'She took the coat off and she was heavily pregnant. You just can't believe it. The wake-up call came very late.' Boris and Barbara's bitter divorce was settled in 2001 after he agreed to pay her a lump sum of £10 million - significantly more than the provisions of their pre-nuptial agreement as Barbara retained full custody of their sons, Noah and Elias. His second marriage to Dutch former model Lily Kerssenberg ended acrimoniously after nine years. In 2023, Lily alleged that Boris 'threw me and our son' Amadeus out of the house in an interview with German media outlet Bild, adding: 'I left him in 2018 and he can't forgive me for that.' 'When I left five years ago, he took away my house and car keys,' the actress continued. 'He threw me and our son out of the house. I didn't have a penny in cash, didn't know where to go. We spent the first night on a bench in a cafe.' At the time, she also alleged that Boris 'doesn't pay a penny in child support' and rarely saw his son but added 'I believe that he loves' him. However, Anna and Amadeus were both absent from their father's Italian wedding to Lilian last year after their engagement was punctuated by Boris's jail sentence. While Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, attended the festivities in Portofino as Boris's best men, both Anna and Amadeus., 14, were missing from the wedding party. It remains a mystery as to why the pair, who are seemingly now on good terms with their father, weren't invited, especially after Becker publicly spoke of how 'proud' he is of both children. Amadeus' mother Lily expressed her disappointment at the time, telling German magazine Bunte: 'His father didn't tell him anything about [the wedding]...he's wondering why he wasn't invited. 'When I approached Amadeus about it, he was completely taken by surprise. He knew nothing.' This is despite the fact that earlier this year, Becker marked Amadeus' 14th birthday with a trip to Milan, including a visit to the Natural History Museum, sightseeing and indoor skydiving. Lilly disclosed that Amadeus eventually received an invitation via WhatsApp, but he did not attend the wedding. Meanwhile, Anna - who grew up between London and Monaco - revealed she discovered her tennis legend father was tying the knot after reading media reports. The singer, who won Let's Dance - a reality TV competition modeled after the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing - has only spoken positively about her father in public. Ahead of the Let's Dance final, Boris recorded a message for his daughter, saying: 'You've already conquered the hearts of the Germans. 'You've taken them by storm. Your talent, your discipline, your performance and more – your personality, are amazing. And I couldn't be prouder,'. Lilian, who was born on the African island of São Tomé and Príncipe, wore three outfits for the occasion, while Boris, tying the knot for the third time, looked effortlessly suave in a cream tuxedo. Discussing their lavish nuptials for the first time, Boris told Hello! Magazine that it was a 'magical weekend' marrying his partner Lilian, and they chose Portofino as their wedding location after spending many happy weekends there together. He said: 'Everyone cried, including me... the location where we had the ceremony is, I think, one of the most unique places I have been in my life – and trust me, I have been to a lot of beautiful places!' The bride stunned the couple's 100 guests in an elegant white strapless gown crafted for her by an old school friend, designer Andra Ravieli; he had previously promised that he would design her wedding gown when she walked down the aisle. Guests included former Dutch footballer Ruud Gullit and German actor and model Boris Kodjoe. The former Wimbledon champ and Lilian married in an outdoor ceremony with beautiful gardens and celebrated in the evening with a four-tier buttercream cake laden with white roses. The couple spared no expense, with Lilian looking incredible in a strapless ruched bridal gown and veil, while Boris opted for a two-piece suit, including a satin tuxedo in cream and black dickie bow. The three-day wedding saw Boris and Lilian greet guests arriving by boat and enjoying drinks by the pier before their big day.

The lookalike daughters with famous mums – can you guess who's related to who?
THE phrase 'like mother, like daughter' is certainly true for a number of gorgeous celebrities and their glamorous daughters. Jessica Alba 's teenage daughter Honor, 17, stole the spotlight at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's headline-grabbing Venice wedding, and threatened to upstage her 44-year-old mum in a nude-coloured dress. 21 21 But the red carpet-ready teen isn't the only daughter to be a carbon copy of their famous mother. In fact - one of the hottest trends among famous mothers is twinning with their lookalike daughters for social media snaps and A-list events. So, can you recognise who each of these rising star daughters is related to? Amanda Holden and Lexi 21 21 21 At 19, Lexi Hughes is turning heads in the modelling world, following in mum Amanda Holden's glamorous footsteps. Signed by Storm at 16, Lexi's natural beauty has drawn comparisons to her famous mother, particularly when they twin on the red carpet. Proud mum Amanda, 54, has nothing but praise for her lookalike daughter. She previously gushed: 'She has a very natural beauty — she just looks stunning.' While Amanda is known for her daring wardrobe choices on Britain's Got Talent, she admits to keeping a close eye on Lexi's wardrobe for anything too revealing. Although she joked that anything confiscated she wears herself. A family photo from Greece - with mum Judith, 72, and other daughter Hollie, 13, - showed the good looks run deep with four generations of beauty in one snap. Kate Moss and Lila 21 21 21 Having a mother as iconic as Kate Moss, 51, can't be easy for any budding model. However, her daughter Lila, 22, whose dad is Jefferson Hack, the co-founder of Dazed Media, is quickly becoming a standout figure in the fashion world. Following in her mother's footsteps, Lila has already walked the runway for major designers like Miu Miu and Richard Quinn, solidifying her place as a catwalk rising star. Her career began at just 14 — the same age Kate was discovered — and she's continued to flourish ever since, earning high-profile gigs with top brands. By 16, she was named the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty, landed her first solo Dazed Magazine cover, and featured in Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2020 campaign. Mel B and Phoenix 21 21 The Spice Girls' hit song 'Two Became One' takes on a whole new meaning when you see Mel B and her daughter Phoenix, who's the spitting image of her famous mum. Now 26, Phoenix has paid homage to her Spice Girl roots by recreating iconic looks from Mel's past, including her gold two-piece from the Spice World poster. She's also channelled her mum's patchwork bikini top and trousers from Spice Up Your Life, proving the Scary Spice legacy lives on. Raised by Mel after her split in 2000 from first husband Jimmy Gulzar, Phoenix is now carving her own path as a model and entrepreneur. Karren Brady and Sophia Peschisolido 21 Former managing director of Birmingham City FC Karren Brady might be The Apprentice 's glam leading lady - but it seems it runs in the family with her model daughter, Sophia Peschisolido. Sophia, daughter of Canadian footballer Paul Peschisolido, has been modelling since the age of 21, when she landed a Topshop campaign back in 2017. She later became a face of PrettyLittleThing and lingerie company Boux Avenue, and developed life as an influencer - with proud mum Karren even becoming her photographer when lockdown forced her to work from home. The campaigns made her in-demand for reality shows, especially Love Island, but she always turned them down. "I've been asked to go on it twice but I've turned it down," she told The Sun back in 2020. Now Sophia, who shares son Leo with fiancé Frankie Makin, is now preparing to hand the genes to a second baby, after announcing she is pregnant in April. Sienna Miller and Marlowe 21 Sienna Miller 's daughter Marlowe, 12, looked all grown up as she attended Sienna's sister Savannah Miller's Bridal Ballerina Breakfast in London in April, with the pair accompanied by Sienna's partner, Oli Green, 28. It wasn't Marlowe's first foray into fashion; as she previously sat front row at Proenza Schouler during New York Fashion Week. Back in 2015, Miller reflected on the profound impact of motherhood, telling The Observer: 'I think having a baby really changed everything, if I'm honest. 'I think that's where it began. The stakes are higher. You have someone that you want to be proud of you eventually.' Heidi Klum and Leni 21 21 21 Just like her supermodel mum Heidi Klum, 21-year-old Leni is making a name for herself in fashion, landing major campaigns with Dior Beauty and GHD. Born in 2004 after Heidi's split from Formula One executive Flavio Briatore, Leni was later adopted by Heidi's ex-husband, singer Seal, who also fathered her three younger siblings. Leni often mirrors her mum's style, recently teaming up with her for a bold, colourful cover shoot for Dutch Vogue in matching tailored suits. Their joint Intimissimi lingerie campaign sparked online criticism, with some calling it inappropriate and 'sexualised' - but Leni defended the shoot, calling it 'an amazing day' and a moment she 'loved' sharing with her mum. Gwyneth Paltrow and Apple Martin 21 21 The 'apple' doesn't fall far from the tree when it comes to Gwyneth Paltrow's 21-year-old daughter. Actress and singer-songwriter Apple Martin has previously shown she has a talent for music just like her dad, Chris Martin, after helping to write Coldplay's album Music of the Spheres last year. Fans previously gushed over Apple's uncanny resemblance to her famous mum, after the pair attended an event hosted by Goop, Gucci, and Elizabeth Saltzman in the Hamptons, New York. Gwyneth split from Chris in March 2014, famously calling the break-up "consciously uncoupling." BE A FAIR PAIR By Clemmie Fieldsend THEY say imitation is the highest form of flattery, and for celebrity kids it's a must-have look. But it hasn't always been. Remember when you were young and your mum used to dress you and your siblings, or worse the whole family, in matching gear for a family photo? I wince at the flashback. Back then it was considered a bit naff, but fast forward to today and it seems that every A-lister and their daughter is a clobber clone. Style crowd But forget the Eighties, when everyone would wear matching bright cable knits; or the Nineties, when co-ordinated nautical looks could be seen hanging in everyone's hallway – these days twinsets are far more stylish. You can be a doppel-glamour duo, like Amanda Holden and her daughter Lexi, who like to match their cut-out dresses, or Hells Angels, like Kim Kardashian and young North West, whose twinsets are made of leather. You could take it to Heidi Klum and Leni's extreme lengths and pair your pants. But whatever you decide to do, if you want to be in with the style crowd you'll need to be seeing double.
