Kim Kardashian arrives for Jeff Bezos wedding in crop top alongside gothic Kris
Jeff Bezos and bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez have arrived in Venice ahead of their hugely anticipated A-lister wedding
Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner have arrived ahead of Jeff Bezos wedding this week. The A-list pair have touched down in Venice before their celeb friends tie the knot over the next few days.
The two of them have been spotted looking as glamourous as ever. Kris wore a long black gown with ruffle details along with slim black sunglasses.
She went for a full glam makeup look and stuck with her iconic bob haircut. Meanwhile, mum-of-four Kim went for a black midi skirt with a matching crop top and covered up with a coordinated hoodie.

She slicked her brunette hair back into a neat bun and covered up her face with chunky grey sunglasses. Khloe looked gorgeous as she went for an all-leopard print look for the occasion.
The TV star wore an eye-catching jumpsuit with black sunglasses and styled her brunette locks into loose waves. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have also arrived in Venice, Italy as a helicopter picked them up from his superyacht Koru's support ship, the Albeona.
Celebrations will begin on Thursday evening as a casual welcome dinner will be held at the 14th Century Madonna dell'Orto church. The ceremony was expected to take place at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, an historic 16th-century building in the city centre.
However, the No Space for Bezos campaign group claim the couple scrambled to change their plans, after activists threatened to block the canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop their guests from attending.
A new plan have now been put in place as it has been moved to Arsenale which is a shipyard complex which will be near-impossible for protestors to get to.
Tension is growing on mainland Venice which is where most of the A-listers are reported to be staying. Campaigners Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) and Greenpeace protesters laid out a huge 20x20m banner near to where the Amazon founder will marry his partner.
Set out in the city's famous St Mark's Square, the message reads: "IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX." The groups are critical of Mr Bezos, who is the second-richest man in the world, as he is reported to pay a 1.1% true tax rate.
A spokesperson from EHE explained: "As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married. Just weeks ago, he spent millions on an 11-minute space trip. If there was ever a sign billionaires like Bezos should pay wealth taxes, it's this.
"While ordinary people struggle to pay the bills, there are more billionaires than ever before. These two things are obviously connected - they're getting richer at our expense. It's not rocket science: tax billionaires like Jeff Bezos now."

Kendall Jenner shows off divisive shoes as she leaves Bezos wedding fun
Published: | Updated: looked relaxed as she left Venice on Sunday following her attendance at the star-studded wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. The 29-year-old kept her look simple, opting for a pair of knee-length black leggings and a beige athleisure top as she disembarked from a water taxi en route to the airport. However, the model sparked a bit of controversy with her choice of footwear, stepping out in a pair of clear jelly sandals. Other celebrities - such as Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lawrence—have also embraced the nostalgic style, which was popular in the early 1980s. The mostly inexpensive shoes now seem just as at home in casual looks like Jenner's as they are in high-end ensembles, especially during the summer months. Depending on the brand, pairs of jellies can retail for anywhere from $25 to hundreds of dollars. However, in the era of fast fashion, the shoes, made from PVC plastic are controversial due to their environmental impact.

Another European city issues cruise ship ban as overtourism anger grows
The French Riviera resort of Cannes is set to implement what its city council describes as "drastic regulation" on cruise ships, banning any vessels carrying more than 1,000 people from its harbour starting next year. The move, effective from January 1, positions the home of the world's premier film festival at the forefront of a growing global backlash against overtourism. Cannes joins a list of destinations grappling with the impact of excessive visitor numbers, following recent uproar over Jeff Bezos ' and Lauren Sanchez ' Venice wedding, water-gun protests in Spain, and a surprise strike at the Louvre Museum. The city council, which voted on the measures on Friday, aims for cruise tourism to be "less numerous, less big, less polluting and more esthetic." Under the new limits, only ships with fewer than 1,000 passengers will be allowed in the port, with a maximum of 6,000 passengers permitted to disembark per day. Larger ships will be expected to transfer their passengers to smaller boats to enter Cannes. France — which drew in some 100 million visitors last year, more than any other European country and more than the country's population — is on the front line of efforts to balance economic benefits of tourism with environmental concerns while managing ever-growing crowds. "Cannes has become a major cruise ship destination, with real economic benefits. It's not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating, organizing, setting guidelines for their navigation," Mayor David Lisnard said in a statement. Cruise operators have called such restrictions damaging for destinations and for passengers. Two cruise ships were scheduled to dock in Cannes on Sunday, each bigger than the upcoming 1,000-passenger limit and with a combined capacity of more than 7,000 people. Their owners did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the new restrictions. The nearby Mediterranean city of Nice announced limits on cruise ships earlier this year, as have some other European cities.
