Lauren Sánchez becomes Mrs. Bezos in elegant Venice wedding with conservative dress departing from usual style
Lauren Sánchez is officially Mrs. Bezos. On June 27, Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos and Sánchez tied the knot at San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, with a star-studded guest list. On Friday, Sánchez updated her Instagram account to read "Lauren Sánchez Bezos," after saying, "I do" to the Amazon founder. She also shared the first look at her wedding gown on Instagram. "06/27/2025," she captioned her post, adding a red heart. Sánchez also debuted her wedding gown on the cover of Vogue. Her Dolce & Gabbana dress was a mermaid-style lace gown, with sheer long sleeves and a high neckline. She told Vogue in her cover story that she felt "like a princess." Sánchez's inspiration behind her wedding gown was the look Sophia Loren wore while marrying Cary Grant in the 1958 movie "Houseboat." "It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago," she told the outlet. Sánchez acknowledged that her wedding gown was more conservative than the revealing looks she's worn in the past. "It is a departure from what people expect," she said, adding, "from what I expect—but it's very much me." Sánchez said she was expecting her now-husband to be surprised. "Yes. I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he's going to be so happy. I mean, it's so elegant, it's timeless," she said. Sánchez explained that her wedding to Bezos "is extremely intimate," and 70 of the 200 guests are family. "She wants to do a very classic and elegant wedding," designer Stefano Gabbana told the outlet. "She didn't want to do something very flashing or bling bling." Sánchez also told the outlet she isn't sticking to some traditional wedding rituals. "We don't have a lot of traditions that we're keeping. I mean, I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it's a little different," she said. She did bring something blue to her big day. "Well, Blue Origin. It's something from my space flight," Sánchez told the outlet. She explained to Vogue that during her recent trip to space, she brought a secret souvenir so she could bring Bezos something back "because it was literally one of the most profound experiences I've ever had in my life. Seeing Earth from space, I came down and I couldn't describe it. It was the greatest experience I've ever had. Jeff said, 'It's gonna change you more than you think,' and it completely has, visually, spiritually," she said. During the interview, the former journalist explained the impact her now-husband has had on her life. "I went into a lot of therapy and it's changed me in a bunch of ways. But it's really Jeff," she said with a pause. "Jeff hasn't changed me. Jeff has revealed me. I feel safe. I feel seen. He lets me be me. Like I said about Sophia Loren being unapologetically free, he lets me be unapologetically free." Sánchez revealed that her two sons, Nikko and Evan, walked her down the aisle. Her daughter, Ella, was her maid of honor and delivered a reading during the wedding ceremony. All three of her kids, whom she shares with her ex-husband Patrick Whitesell, were wearing Dolce & Gabbana for her wedding. Sánchez did some prep before her big day. While speaking to Vogue, she explained that she lost three and a half pounds before the ceremony on June 27 and cut out alcohol and salt in the weeks leading up to it. "I like food!" she explained. "Food is such a big part of life. I'm Latin! Some people meditate, I work out. It's something Jeff and I do every morning. We have our coffee, we talk about whatever's going on, and then we go to the gym." Sánchez couldn't be happier that she gets to spend the rest of her life with Bezos, she told Vogue. "More than the dress, I'm happy that I'm getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore. I am the luckiest woman on the planet."

How Are ‘Squid Game' Season 3's VIPs Still This Awful?
Squid Game I am currently halfway through season 3 of Squid Game, which was released yesterday and is (maybe) the final run of the series. I think it's quite good so far, and episode 2 in particular is easily one of the best of the entire show. However, by episode 3, you run into an old, hard-to-believe problem: the arrival of the VIPs in their gold animal masks that have the absolute worst dialogue and delivery of the entire series. It's to the point where it's so jarring it takes you out of the entire episode, which is filled with compelling performances from its Korean cast. Spoilers follow. The question is…how did this happen again? After the VIPs were lambasted in the wake of season 1, how did they get this group of villains so wrong yet again? This time, there's an American, a Brit or two and possibly a woman from Japan. The difference this time is that they got to 'participate' in the second game by being part of the clean-up crew that goes around shooting players who failed the game. The dialogue is horrific. It's not just the writing, which is, in fact, terrible; it's the delivery and the fact that this is English dialogue that somehow sounds like it's dubbed over itself to make it sound like someone recording separately from a sound booth. Which, for whatever reason, is probably what happened. Squid Game These are the exact same complaints about the season 1 VIPs, and while there is some speculation this is done on purpose to be campy like past genre films, that does not seem to be the case. There was actually an interview done with one of the actors who explained why this was so weird and bad. This is from the Guardian and ran shortly after season 1 was released: 'It's different for every show, but non-Korean performers often act with dialogue that is translated by a non-native – sometimes even by Google Translate – so it can sound unnatural,' he says. 'Often we don't have the scripts for the rest of the show,' he adds. 'We are only given our scenes, so we have no idea of the tone.' 'We were all wearing very heavy plaster masks, and sitting on couches that were at least 20-30ft away from the closest VIP. We all had to yell our lines vaguely into the air, which added to the weird tonality of the delivery.' That sounds like exactly what's still happening, right down to the distance between the VIPs, and it's impossible to imagine there was no way to fix this from season 1. The explanations are that they did it on purpose and left it this bad despite the blowback, or they simply screwed up again and did not learn their lesson. Again, the rest of the show is great so far, but once again, the VIPs are the low point and so bad they make the rest of the episodes worse. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.

Lauren Sánchez Reveals Who Her 'Amazing' Maid of Honor Was During Venice Wedding to Jeff Bezos
When Lauren Sánchez wed Jeff Bezos in a lavish Venice celebration, it was a family affair Vogue reports that Sánchez was walked down the aisle by her two sons, Nikko and Evan, during the celebration The outlet also confirms that the bride's maid-of-honor was someone else close to her heartLauren Sánchez's wedding to Jeff Bezos was a family affair — with the bride walked down the aisle by her sons Nikko and Evan, and accompanied at the altar by her 17-year-old daughter Ella, who served as her maid of honor. The Emmy-winning journalist, 55, tied the knot with the Amazon founder, 61, in a black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday, June 27. Vogue reports that Ella served as the bride's maid of honor and delivered a reading at the ceremony. Per the outlet, Ella wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit (Sánchez herself wore a corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress custom-designed by Dolce, along with Dolce earrings). 'Ella's original; she beats to her own drum. She had never had a fitting before, and she loved it. She's going to look amazing. It has been the most fun dressing all the kids," Lauren told Vogue. The outlet also confirmed that Sánchez's sons walked her down the aisle. Sánchez welcomed son Nikko, 24, in 2001 with her ex-boyfriend, former NFL player Tony Gonzalez. After the two split, Sánchez married her now ex-husband, businessman Patrick Whitesell. Sánchez and Whitesell celebrated the arrival of their son, Evan, 19, in 2006 and daughter, Ella, in 2008. Sánchez and Bezos celebrated their Italian nuptials over several days, welcoming a number of their celebrity friends for the lavish festivities in the Floating City, including Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Tom Brady. Other notable guests included Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates and his girlfriend, Paula Hurd, François-Henri Pinault, and fashion designers Diane von Fürstenberg, Domenico Dolce and Tommy Hilfiger.
