Inside Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' final wedding celebration as Oprah and Kendall Jenner lead arrivals
Oprah Winfrey, Kendall Jenner and Vittoria Ceretti were among those first to arrive for the final night of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos ' wedding celebrations.
Tonight is set to be the last official event of the multi-day extravaganza in Venice, Italy, that saw the couple tie the knot in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Maggiore island on Friday.
This evening, stars have been making their way to the Arsenale for the grand finale.
The Arsenale is located in Venice's Castello district and was reportedly chosen last-minute due to growing protests surrounding the ultra-wealthy nuptials.
The venue's remote layout makes it more difficult for both protestors and press to access - an intentional pivot from the high-visibility locations of previous events.
Lauren herself has already emerged for the evening in a stunning pink embellished bandeau gown that enhanced her ample assets.
The blushing bride, 55, shared a kiss with her new husband, 61, before waving to fans from a balcony.
As the stars continue to file in thick and fast to finish the weekend off with a bang, FEMAIL has shared all the latest looks below.

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.

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.

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'.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice is attended by Queen Rania of Jordan and her family as King's wife stuns in a glitzy Armani couture dress
Queen Rania of Jordan turned heads as she stepped out in an extravagant designer gown to celebrate Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos 's $46 million nuptials this weekend. The royal, 54, was snapped as she was helped by several security men onto a water taxi in Venice alongside her daughter, Princess Iman, as they joined other A-listers in celebrating the Amazon billionaire's three-day wedding. Over the multi-day event, Rania has continuously put her best fashion foot forward and has been seen sporting designer brands from Armani to Fendi. On Friday, she brought her fashion A-game as she proudly sported her new Armani gown from the Italian brand's spring/summer 2025 couture collection. The Queen had all eyes on her as she donned the regal metallic multi-coloured strapless dress, which was adorned with elegant pink floral details from top to bottom. The classy, tulle frock grazed her ankles and she paired it with a grey shawl which was elegantly wrapped around her shoulders. Rania - who is married to King Abdullah - opted to pair her glamorous ensemble with diamond jewellery and a cream patterned clutch bag, as to not draw focus away from her designer look. She wore her lengthy caramel brown tresses down in her signature bouncy blow-dry and opted for Hollywood glamour makeup with smokey eye-shadow and pale pink lipstick. Boarding the water taxi alongside Rania was her daughter, Princess Iman, 28, who donned a bespoke Oscar de la Renta green butterfly-detailed chiffon dress. She wore her brunette tresses slicked back in a tight bun and paired her chic outfit with FerriFirenze sole gold earrings, previously worn by her mother. Rania was seen departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport in a stylish outfit after a lavish past couple of days celebrating Sanchez and Bezos in one of the most romantic cities in the world. She wore a white REMAIN Birger Christensen cutout stretch-organic cotton-jersey top paired with black Alo suit up trousers. To accessorise, Rania opted to wear a black Jacquemus 'the medium bambola' asymmetric bucket bag, complete with black Emporio Armani sunglasses. This was a much more relaxed look in comparison to Thursday's ensemble, where Rania stepped out in a regal Fendi frock that was seen on the fashion house's Autumn/Winter 2018 Couture Collection catwalk. The shimmery sleeveless taupe dress certainly turned heads as the mesh tulle layer was embroidered with diamantes, which glistened in the warm Italian sun. Rania wrapped a cream shawl around her shoulders and paired her ensemble with blush pink pointed heels. The Queen was the picture of elegance as she wore her caramel brown hair in a low ponytail, with two curled strands sitting along her cheeks and opted for glamorous makeup, donning smoky eye shadow, blush and pale pink lipstick. Her son Crown Prince Hussein, 30, was also in attendance alongside his wife Princess Rajwa and their baby daughter, Princess Iman, who is less than a year old. The family made a rare and unexpected appearance in Italy for Lauren and Jeff 's big day and were snapped heading from the quay into a water taxi after flying into Venice's Marco Polo airport. Crown Prince Hussein held Princess Iman - who was wearing a Tartine Et Chocolat daisy embroidered dress - in his arms as the pair waited for their transport. To keep the extraordinary gown as the main focus of her ensemble, she kept her accessories relatively simple, adding a plain ream clutch bag, a simple silver bangle and hoops. Rania's relationship with Bezos has spanned almost a decade and she first met the tech founder alongside her husband at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman in 2016. Rania was also present at Lauren and Jeff's engagement party onboard their $500 million yacht Koru. Princess Rajwa, 31, opted for a casual and unassuming outfit consisting of a Kayla chocolate shrunken linen shirt paired with a Citizens of Humanity 'Brynn' brown drawstring linen trousers. She also donned a Bottega Veneta 'Hop' large intrecciato-weave brown suede shoulder bag, Alexander McQueen logo trainers. To accessorise, donned a Rajwa Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1983C Cat-Eye sunglasses in Bordeaux Bark and 0.50ct heart shaped ruby and blackened gold single 'Gypset' hoop earring, which she paired with the 0.20ct diamond and gold version. The pair have joined A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey for the extravagant three-day gathering, which will come to a close on Saturday. Lauren and Jeff were pictured at one of their many wedding events held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters. But the couple and their famous guests were forced to take cover on Thursday as their pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm. Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightning bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 36° Celsius. Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time. The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees. One onlooker said: 'It just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but you can't control the weather - although an Italian saying says a wet bride is a happy and lucky bride.' Kim, 44, and her younger sister Khloe, 40, struggled to stay dry in their couture gowns as their security team guided them to their designated water taxi. Kylie, who is the younger half-sister of Kim and Khloe, reacted to the weather by sharing a photo of her rain-soaked water taxi to her Instagram Story. Bride-to-be Lauren was surrounded by tuxedo-clad gentleman carrying blue umbrellas over her as she carefully stepped on to her awaiting boat. The TV personality, 55, had on a striking off-the-shoulder dress with a dramatic gold corset cinching in her already tiny waist. Bezos, 61 - who popped the question in 2023 with a $3 million engagement ring - was seen following closely behind Lauren with an umbrella over his head. In footage obtained by Lauren appeared to be in high spirits despite the rain ending their soiree early. Once inside the water taxi, she was seen sharing a laugh with Bezos as the downpour intensified. The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding. Along with Ellie Goulding, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ivanka Trump, the star-studded guest list includes Mick Jagger and Tom Brady. Earlier this week, a copy of the couple's invite was leaked with one very specific request made on behalf of the couple. They've asked guests not to buy them any presents and told them they'll be making donations to multiple charities working to stop Venice from sinking on attendees' behalf instead. Bezos is thought to be spending roughly $15 to $20 million on his and Lauren's Italian nuptials.

Ciao Venice! Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's guests bid goodbye to Italian city the morning after final party of 72-hour wedding extravaganza
Oprah Winfrey and Kris Jenner 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. Described as the 'wedding of a century,' the 61-year-old Amazon founder and the former journalist, 55, 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, before bidding their goodbyes to the Italian city the following morning. Kris, 69, and Oprah, 71, walked arm-in-arm down the dock, alongside Gayle King and Kris' boyfriend Corey Gamble.

But impeccable sources reveal that the billionaire were already legally married, with a source closely connected to the organisation of the week's events saying: 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. 'The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.' The source adds: 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.' The source added that Bezos had personally confirmed that he and Sanchez – who met when both were married to other people – are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune.
