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.

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.'
