While it was originally reported that Sanchez invested in it herself, insiders are claiming otherwise to Rob Shuter. (Shuter is a journalist and gossip columnist, who now runs his own Substack here he dishes on celebrity-based news he gets from inside sources.)
'Sydney's not that close with Jeff or Lauren,' a source said to Shuter. 'But she got invited to their Venice wedding for a reason — business.'
Another insider claimed, 'There's definitely some tension. Lauren didn't realize just how involved Jeff was in this. It's… awkward.'
This, plus the Bond girl news, proves that Sweeney is getting closer to Bezos on the business side of things, but how does Sanchez feel? Well, obviously, insiders are saying different things, but are Sanchez and Sweeney even close? Nope. Insiders told Page Six that Sweeney 'is not friends with either one of them,' but attended the three-day festivities 'to pay respects to the 'boss,' just like in the old days of Hollywood.'
Only time will tell how this all shakes out.Best of SheKnows

Giorgio Armani Marks His Brand's 50th Year With Multiple Celebrations
Designer Giorgio Armani (Photo by Barbara White Sloan/WWD/Penske Media via Getty Images) It seems 1975 was a good year for design. Several brands, mainly Italian, are celebrating 50th anniversaries in 2025. To wit, Roberto Cavalli, Santoni, John Hardy, and the "King of Fashion" himself, Giorgio Armani, are all marking significant milestones this year. When the Northern Italian-born designer founded his namesake label at 41, he was already well-regarded in the industry, having established himself as a menswear designer at Cerrutti 1881, a freelance fashion designer for brands Allegri, Bagutta, Gibò, and Montedoro, among others, and his early career included roles in sales and as a window dresser at La Rinascente. With the support of friend Sergio Galeotti, he founded Giorgio Armani S.p.A. in Milan on July 24th, 1975. Now at 91, Mr. Armani is still at the helm of his namesake brand with plans to retire in the next year or so. To celebrate the anniversary, the brand has announced an exhibit and pop-up to mark the occasion. The Giorgio Armani Pop-up at the Sunset Beach Hotel in Shelter island. In Milan, the designer will launch the Armani/Archivio project on Saturday, August 30th, during the Venice Film Festival. Armani/Archivo is an interactive digital platform that showcases content curated from a comprehensive cataloging of the Giorgio Armani collections, aiming to preserve the brand's pioneering legacy while serving as a bridge between past and future. In the coming months, the platform will be housed in a physical site just outside of Milan. Additionally, the brand is planning celebrations during the upcoming Milan Fashion Week, also known as MFW, centered on the debut of its Spring 2026 women's collections. On Wednesday, September 24th, Giorgio Armani will open a curated showcase to the public at the Pinacoteca di Brera gallery. It's a first for the 'Brera Art Gallery, the main public gallery regarded as having one of the foremost collections of Italian paintings dating from the 13th to the 20th centuries. It is also the first time they have hosted an exhibition of fashion, featuring over 150 archival Giorgio Armani looks spanning the brand's five decades. Rounding out the week will be the closing show of MFW in the historic Courtyard of Honour at Palazzo Brera, featuring the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2026 Women's Collection alongside select menswear looks from the collection presented in June. Actress Mamie Gummer attends the Giorgio Armani But the brand is busy with some other activations this summer on this side of the Atlantic before the big 50thfete. Coinciding with the same anniversary date, the brand unveiled its first Giorgio Armani Mare pop-up Stateside, featuring the 2025 collection. After launching several iterations in some of the world's most coveted summer destinations such as Porto Cervo, Capri, and Cannes, the coastal lifestyle collection—which includes swimwear, resort wear, linen tailoring, beachside ready accessories, towels, and more—will be the focus of a pop-up at Sunset Beach on Shelter Island. To toast the 10-day ephemeral boutique and the summer collection inspired by easy Amalfi Coast living, the brand hosted a sunset cocktail event that brought the Mediterranean lifestyle to the Hamptons. The popular hotel—located on the island affectionately referred to as the "Island of Peace" and situated between Long Island's North and South Forks—has transformed its façade, game room, and beachfront to evoke a beachfront vis-à-vis tropical palms in shades of grey and turquoise with contrasting warm wooden tones of flooring. Inside the Giorgio Armani pop up on Shelter Island. Guests included Linda Fargo, Mamie Gummer, André Balazs, Tracy Margulies, Kristina O'Neill, Leandra Medine Cohen, Mei Kwok, Pamela Tick, and Dora Fung of 10 Magazine US, who shared activities such as dog-friendly beach time, backgammon, al fresco dining, and dancing as part of the opening event celebrations on her Instagram feed.

Jennifer Lopez Suffers Mid-Performance Wardrobe Malfunction During Her Concert: 'I'm Glad I Had Underwear on, I Don't Usually'
Fans praised the singer for handling the situation "like a pro" Jennifer Lopez's skirt ended up "On the Floor" during her latest concert, but she didn't let it detract from the show! The musician, who recently celebrated her 56th birthday, handled a mid-performance wardrobe malfunction like a pro while she was in Warsaw, Poland, on July 25. During her gig at the PGE Narodowy stadium — as part of her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour — Lopez thanked fans for coming out to the show, when a glittery skirt she was wearing randomly snapped off her body and fell to the stage floor. Though Lopez was unsuccessful in trying to stop the skirt from hitting the ground, she didn't let the mishap take away from the moment, which was shared on her official YouTube channel, as well as by fans on Instagram. The hitmaker played the incident off by smiling big and strutting around the stage with her arms in the air, even pulling off a little spin. "I'm out here in my underwear," Lopez joked, as a dancer approached her with the skirt and attempted to put it back on. "That's gonna be everywhere." "I'm glad that they reinforced that costume," she later said. "And I'm glad I had underwear on. I don't usually wear underwear." Lopez later tossed the skirt to fans in the crowd and told them to "keep it," joking that she didn't "want it back." Lopez was praised by fans for how she laughed off the onstage wardrobe malfunction. "She's adorable & handled it like a pro that she is 🙌🏻," one supporter captioned footage of the moment shared on Instagram. "👏👏🙌🔥😍😂life is too short," another fan wrote in the comments section of a post. The "Ain't Your Mama" singer's latest tour stop came after she celebrated her birthday on July 24. Lopez marked the occasion by dropping a new song titled "Birthday," and she was presented with a huge three-tiered cake as she celebrated with dancers and musicians on the road with her. Lopez kicked off the tour, her first in six years, with a performance in Galicia, Spain, on July 8. It took place over a year after she canceled her This Is Me... Live tour in May 2024. In celebration of her birthday in Antalya, Turkey, Lopez shared a bare-faced photo of herself — as well as some celebratory clips — with a caption dedicated to her fans. 'What a gift you all are," the mother of two wrote. "Thank you so much for all your beautiful birthday wishes.' Lopez is next set to perform in Bucharest, Romania, on Sunday, July 27. She will then make her way to Istanbul and beyond in the weeks to follow, before her international run wraps on Aug. 12 in Sardinia. Read the original article on People

The Spice Girls and Wu-Tang Clan Almost Had Their Own Anime
Now, here's a sentence no one expected to read in the year 2025: Once upon a time, we might have gotten to see the Spice Girls and the Wu-Tang Clan in anime form. In a recent interview with AnimEigo, Lawrence Guinness, a senior VP at Manga Entertainment, distributor of anime such as Perfect Blue and Street Fighter Alpha (and subsidiary of Island Records), revealed the company considered co-producing its own works. Two projects he mentioned would have starred the aforementioned bands, and the Spice Girls idea got far enough along that he had some production stills to show. Had it happened, it'd have been a film called Girl Power: The Anime, courtesy of Production I.G, the studio behind Ghost in the Shell. According to Guinness, Manga had 'very advanced talks' with the British pop group's management at the time this was pitched and would've hopefully appealed to fans of then-popular anime like Studio Ghibli. Even now, Guinness is confident teenage girls 'might've gone to the cinema to see this. In fact, I think you would've stood in a line for a long time to get in to see this. This was the vision. Look, if that's not girl power in action, I don't know what is.' As for the never-realized Wu-Tang project, a series that would have been called The Imperial Warrior, he claimed near everything was in place for the project, except some of the hip-hop group's members didn't sign off on it. His pitch to Island Records founder Chris Blackwell saw Wu-Tang 'challenging the forces of evil through their music and martial arts skills.' The soundtrack and designs for the characters (he mentioned RZA and Ghostface Killah specifically) were 'great,' said Guinness, and it would've been 'revolutionary. That was the project I was proudest of that never happened.' Over the decades, Japanese creators have been open about their love of western music, and artists like the late Prince and Aaliyah have inspired characters in Michiko & Hatchin and My Hero Academia. Making musicians or other celebrities into fictionalized versions of themselves for film and TV is another tale as old as time, and Guinness wanted these two projects to take off to both put Manga on the map and successfully 'synthesize anime with the best of western culture.' When it comes to Wu-Tang Clan, he's sort of gotten his wish, thanks to RZA's involvement in Afro Samurai and developer Brass Lion Entertainment's upcoming action game Wu-Tang: Rise of the Deceiver. As for the Spice Girls, it's a shame they never got their animated due—there are worse ways for a band to be memorialized than an anime movie with some original songs and cheesy action that still holds up years after the fact.
