Lauren Sanchez totes black Birkin in NYC after allegedly losing $10M bid for Jane Birkin's original Hermes bag

Daily Mail​3 days ago
rocked a black Birkin as she joined her husband Jeff Bezos in New York City over the weekend.
The new Mrs. Bezos, 55 - who recently enjoyed a night out in Paris with A-list pals such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn - was seen stepping out of a sleek SUV alongside the Amazon tycoon following their extravagant Venice wedding.
Her latest excursion comes after it was rumored Sanchez was out bid for the original Birkin bag at a Sotheby's auction in Paris this week.
Lauren showed off her figure wearing a pair of black fitted leggings as well as a white workout jacket that was partially zipped up at the front.
She slipped into a pair of comfy white sneakers and added a blue printed cap on top of her dark locks which were styled into a ponytail.
The former journalist sported a pair of fashionable shades while also carrying a classic Hermes Birkin bag in her hand.
Bezos - who has shown off new hair growth after being bald for over 10 years - kept it casual in a pair of blue denim jeans and a short-sleeved, black shirt for the outing.
He also opted for a pair of sneakers and held a brown leather bag as they headed towards their next destination.
Earlier this week on Thursday, the original Birkin bag - which was first designed for model Jane Birkin in 1984 - was auctioned off at Sotheby's in Paris to a private collector from Japan for a record-breaking $10.1 million.
It was reported that celebrities such as Sanchez and Kris Jenner had made calls to place a bid, per Vogue, although it is not confirmed.
One source alleged to ARTnews that Lauren had bid anonymously - but a separate insider claimed that she had never bid during the auction.
The bidding for the original Birkin - which was made in the color black and had Jane Birkin's initials underneath the handles - began a little over $1 million and lasted for 10 minutes.
The previous owner of the bag, who goes by the name of Benier, opened up to Vogue about the sell.
'I am astonished at the result, but, as a passionate collector myself, I am first and foremost profoundly moved by the way other collectors have invested so much fervor in trying to acquire what they clearly desired beyond words...'

Benier later told the outlet, 'It is very difficult to imagine my life without this Birkin bag, but I am happy.'
Late last month in June, Sanchez and Bezos said 'I do' during a lavish three-day wedding extravaganza which took place in the romantic city of Venice.
A number of celebrities were in attendance including Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom.
Lauren walked down the aisle wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress that was made of an intricate lace overlay with buttons on the front and a corset-styled bodice.
The fabric on the gown pooled around the star and a sheer white veil was placed towards the back of her head which flowed down into a long train behind her.
And earlier this week, Lauren was spotted joining a few of close pals for a night out in Paris.
She put on a busty display wearing a figure-hugging, red leather minidress with a plunging neckline on the front.
Sanchez carried a black Birkin bag in her hand and allowed her long locks to cascade down past her shoulders.
Along with having a blast with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, the former journalist was also joined by model Brooks Nader.
However, her new husband Jeff Bezos was notably absent from the night out in France on Tuesday.
That same day, the star was seen stepping out to attend the Balenciaga Haute Couture runway show during Paris Fashion Week.
She supported stars such as Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian as they modeled pieces during the glitzy event.
The beauty jumped to her Instagram stories to give a glimpse at some of the pieces modeled during the show.
Lauren later whisked herself away to the Allen and Company Sun Valley Media and Tech Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho on Wednesday - which has been dubbed as the 'summer camp for billionaires.'
She was seen strolling next to Bezos as they both made a joint appearance at the star-studded event.
Sex And The City alum Candice Bergen, Gayle King, Disney CEO Bob Iger and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan were also guests at the conference.
The annual event is held each year during the month of July - and was first launched back in 1983.
Sanchez flashed a smile towards Jeff as they held hands while making their way towards The Sun Valley Resort.

Sabrina Carpenter shows off her washboard abs in white hot pants while gallivanting around Italy

Sabrina Carpenter gave her 48.1 million Instagram followers a glimpse of how she is spending her time off from her Short n' Sweet Tour. Despite her demanding touring schedule, which included a European leg and, now, a second North American leg, the pop star, 26, managed to carve out time to let loose with her closest pals in Italy. On Wednesday morning, the Please Please Please hitmaker shared a slideshow full of memories on the road, including her stay at a Tuscan-style villa. In the first image, she posed outside next to a large tree in a tiny white crop top and hot pants. As she bared her washboard abs to the camera, the singer appeared relaxed as she smiled softly in front of meticulously maintained vineyards. Other snaps showed her walking on a couch in a stunning red gown, eating a bowl of spaghetti al fresco, playing tennis with friends and sightseeing. Carpenter appeared to be having the time of her life as she enjoyed a spritz, played with a cat wandering outside and crouched on top of a built-in desk in a library. Her time gallivanting around Europe comes just weeks before she is set to perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 3. Her upcoming seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, is set to be released on August 29, 2025. In October, she'll headline at Austin City Limits Music, before resuming her Short n' Sweet tour in Pittsburgh, not far from her hometown, Quakertown, Pennsylvania. The actress' final stops include New York, Nashville, Toronto and Los Angeles. The star's latest post comes after unveiling two alternative album covers for Man's Best Friend following backlash over the original, which depicted her posing on all fours, seemingly being pulled by the hair by a man. Many were outraged by the provocative visual and debated whether it was a feminist statement or simply for the male gaze. Sabrina's original album cover was called out by a leading domestic violence charity who accused her of 'reducing women to pets' in addition to various online commentators. On Wednesday morning, the Please Please Please hitmaker shared a slideshow full of memories on the road, including her stay at a Tuscan-style villa In response, Carpenter released an alternative album cover 'approved by God.' The second cover was a black and white image of her holding onto a handsome man's arm in the middle of a crowded room. Last week, she unveiled a third album cover, which showed her surrounded by a bunch of roses while dressed in black lingerie and a sheer nightgown. For those concerned about the fate of her original cover, the record will still be available. It's certainly not the first time Sabrina has faced controversy over her embrace of sex. The Espresso singer famously simulates sex positions while performing her song Juno during her Short n' Sweet Tour, but not everyone is a fan of the NSFW displays. 'It's always so funny to me when people complain,' she told Rolling Stone of her Juno moments. 'They're like, "All she does is sing about this." But those are the songs that you've made popular. Clearly you love sex. You're obsessed with it. 'It's in my show. There's so many more moments than the 'Juno' positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can't control that. If you come to the show, you'll [also] hear the ballads, you'll hear the more introspective numbers. 'I find irony and humor in all of that, because it seems to be a recurring theme. I'm not upset about it, other than I feel mad pressure to be funny sometimes.' In a subsequent phone call with the magazine, the topic was broached again: 'I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like I've never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinized in every capacity. I'm not just talking about me. I'm talking about every female artist that is making art right now.' As the reporter noted that Swifties were taking photos outside of Taylor Swift's iconic Cornelia Street, Sabrina elaborated: 'That's what I'm saying.' 'We're in such a weird time where you would think it's girl power, and women supporting women, but in reality, the second you see a picture of someone wearing a dress on a carpet, you have to say everything mean about it in the first 30 seconds that you see it,' she continued. Sabrina even wrote a song hitting back at the criticism she's received online, Needless To Say, a vinyl-only bonus track for Short and Sweet. Some of the lyrics state: 'A pretty dress, an awkward angle/I bet you zoomed in close and held it up to show all of your friends.' 'It's something that keeps coming back,' Sabrina added. 'We just have to grow thicker skin, but they don't have to learn how to shut their mouths.'

Sia, 49, fuels romance rumors with mystery man at Katy Perry concert in LA... after divorcing Dan Bernad

Camera-shy pop star Sia made a rare appearance at Katy Perry 's Lifetimes Tour concert, which was held at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA on Tuesday night. The Australian 49-year-old further fueled romance rumors by being joined by the same bearded mystery man she was pictured strolling in LA with on March 21 - just two days after filing for divorce from her second husband Dan Bernad. Sia (last name Furler) helped write the 40-year-old 'astronaut's 2017 songs Chained to the Rhythm and Hey Hey Hey as well as her 2013 song Double Rainbow, but the ladies did not get along at first. 'That's what was interesting about writing with Katy Perry because, again, it's her voice at the end of the day. She's also quite dominant, and she's extremely analytical,' the nine-time Grammy nominee told Rolling Stone a decade ago. 'I actually quit within the first hour of our first session. I was like, "Can we both agree this doesn't work? Like our whole songwriting dynamic?" And she was like, "I love it. It's like a puzzle to me. It's like a crossword." And I was like, "But this is boring for me. The analysis is totally boring for me. It feels like the enemy of creativity."' Sia continued: 'It was so cool to be able to have that conversation on why we wrote in such entirely different ways. I'm glad I didn't give up on it because I actually did get a song out of it, and we also really had a laugh because we were able to be authentic.' The Australian 49-year-old further fueled romance rumors by being joined by the same bearded mystery man she was pictured strolling in LA with on March 21 - just two days after filing for divorce from her second husband Dan Bernad The Beautiful People belter is enjoying the single life after ending her two-year marriage to the Modern Medicine Services CEO, during which they secretly welcomed 15-month-old son Somersault Wonder Bernad. In divorce docs obtained by Sia requested primary legal and physical custody of little Somersault, but she will consider 'visitation rights' for Dan whom she originally began dating in 2021. Back in 2019, the Dance Alone singer legally adopted two 18-year-old men who aged out of the foster care system, and one of them has since fathered twins - making her a grandmother-of-two. Before meeting Bernad, Sia declared to GQ in 2020 that she had 'decided to be single for the rest of my life' following her 2017 divorce from golf documentarian Erik Anders Lang after just two years of wedded bliss. Career-wise, the two-time Golden Globe nominee is executive producing the West End debut of Burlesque the Musical, which runs July 22-September 6 at the Savoy Theatre in London, and she even reworked her 2010 song Bound to You for it. It's the stage adaptation of Steven Antin's backstage musical film Burlesque starring Cher and Christina Aguilera, which amassed $90.5M at the global box office in 2010 despite dismal reviews. Sia also composed the music and lyrics for director Whitney White's new off-Broadway musical Saturday Church, based on Damon Cardasis' 2017 film, which runs August 27-October 12 at the New York Theatre Workshop in Manhattan. Rehearsals officially began on Monday for the ballroom-inspired gospel production, which will feature additional music by DJ Honey Dijon. The I Forgive You songstress' music will also be featured in the Queensland Ballet's world premiere of Elastic Hearts, which runs November 6-8 at Home of the Arts in Australia.

However, the queer vegan's own 10th studio album Reasonable Woman only climbed to the No. 153 position on the US Billboard 200 last year. Sia - who gets 66.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - has sold over 41M records worldwide, and she was originally discovered by an Italian DJ while singing karaoke in a bar.

As a fitness writer I think Jessica Biel's workout is great – but it comes with a caveat

You might be familiar with the phrase 'comparison is the thief of joy'. This expression is particularly applicable to celebrity workouts. Yes, we can use the exercise regimes of our favourite actors and influencers as inspiration for our own efforts to stay in shape. But the two should never be put side by side, as Jessica Biel has highlighted in a recent Instagram post. After earning an avalanche of admiring comments for her strong physique in new Prime Video series The Better Sister, the 43-year-old pointed out that the 'peak shape' she was in while filming 'is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and with your fitness, which I cannot do'. The caveat with celebrity workouts As a fitness writer, Biel's transparency is refreshing to see. Actors achieving an optimised physique for a role has become ever-more commonplace in the post-Avengers age, but it's important for viewers to note that recreating what they see on screen is rarely a viable option. Case in point: Zac Efron has been open about the impacts of his training for Iron Claw – 'Your life goes out the window during prep'. His intense efforts and diuretic use before filming Baywatch also led him to 'fall into a pretty bad depression' and 'develop insomnia', he tells Men's Health. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth's long-time trainer Luke Zocchi previously told me the pair approach top-off scenes in films like preparing for a bodybuilding show. They will know the exact date for filming months in advance, then fine-tune many factors to optimise his look for those few seconds of screen time. As a fitness fan, he's in great shape year round, but even Hemsworth doesn't look like Thor for all 12 months of the year. In summary, not even the actors themselves can maintain their on-screen physique for the long haul, so viewers shouldn't expect to either. After shining a spotlight on this on via Instagram, Biel goes on to share a workout from 'her plan to get a little bit back towards that [The Better Sister] shape' – and it's solid stuff for celebrities and the rest of us alike. Jessica Biel's workout Exercise Sets Reps Rest Dumbbell hip thrust 4 10 60 seconds after each set Dumbbell Romanian deadlift 4 10 60 seconds after each set Tempo Swiss ball hamstring curl (three second negative, or lowering phase) 3 10-12 60 seconds after each set Kettlebell goblet step-through lunge 3 6-8 each side 60 seconds after each set Resistance band kickback 2 10-12 each side 60 seconds after each set Kettlebell dead bug 2 12 60 seconds after each set This is a strength training workout. The targeted muscles are overcoming resistance – whether that's provided by a dumbbell, kettlebell, resistance band or your own bodyweight – to perform a movement. In the case of this particular session, the main working muscles are those of the glutes (backside), quads (front of the thigh), hamstrings (back of the thigh) and core (a collection of mid-body muscles responsible for supporting the spine, aiding balance and many more functions). The target number of sets and reps per exercise are geared towards building and maintaining muscle. If you want to try this workout for yourself, Biel has helpfully demonstrated the exercises in the video below. You can also substitute the Swiss ball hamstring curls for prone resistance band hamstring curls, and swap the kettlebell for dumbbells during the lunges and dead bugs, if you only have a couple of dumbbells and bands handy. Benefits of Jessica Biel's workout The body adheres to the SAID principle, which stands for specific adaptations to imposed demands. As a result, if we apply a resistance that challenges us during each of these exercises, and progress this resistance over time as our fitness improves, the body will build muscle and become stronger. Put simply, it's adapting to get better at the specific thing we keep asking it to do. It's not just the muscles that benefit either; strength training will bolster your bones, tendons, ligaments and more. This reduces your risk of injury and improves physical capacity, often increasing quality of life as a result. It can also boost balance, coordination and mobility by working your joints through a wide range of motion under load – if you can comfortably sit in a squat and lift objects overhead, chances are your hips, knees and shoulders are in pretty good nick. Another perk Biel highlights is the benefits of strength training as you grow older. 'My body's not 20 years old anymore, so I am adjusting my workout to what I need to do,' she says. The video then cuts to the actor in what appears to be the splits. 'You've got to build muscle, so that is a key part of my particular routine – [that] and a ton of flexibility,' she continues. '…Let's get older and stronger together.' As she alludes to here, strength training can counter a condition called sarcopenia: the age-related loss of strength and muscle. This process can start as early as your 30s, with an article from Harvard Health Publishing reporting that people can lose 'as much as three to five per cent [of muscle] per decade'. 'As you move through midlife and into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, age-related muscle and strength loss – sarcopenia and dynapenia – become more significant concerns,' Ollie Thompson, an experienced personal trainer specialising in longevity, tells me. 'However, if you've built greater reserves earlier in life, you'll be in a stronger position to maintain muscle mass and physical function as you age. 'For someone who has dabbled in fitness during their younger years but hasn't prioritised staying fit through midlife, I recommend a minimum effective dose of two full-body resistance training sessions per week, along with approximately 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercise,' he continues. 'This approach helps slow muscle loss, maintain strength and support overall cardiovascular health.'
