Guess who stirred drama at Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez's wedding? Insiders reveal
There was never any doubt that the glamorous wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice was going to be attended by a blazing A-lister. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice was marked by Ivanka Trump's controversial attendance. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)(AP)
But one guest may have brought more attention and baggage. Can you guess the name? Ivanka Trump.
The former first daughter arrived in Italy with her family for the three-day celebration, and according to sources, she brought more than just a suitcase full of designer outfits. 'She didn't come alone — she brought Washington with her,' an insider told columnist Rob Shuter.

Reports suggest Ivanka showed up with an unusually heavy security detail, like an active member of a presidential family. Sources claimed her entourage may have gone a step too far, clashing at times with Bezos' own tight-knit protection team.
'Bezos has the money — but Ivanka brought the muscle,' a source close to the couple told Shutter, and the Amazon founder is not happy about it.
'Let's just say Jeff's not used to being told he can't go somewhere.'
Ivanka reportedly made quite the fashion statement, one outfit in particular had guests raising eyebrows, with some likening it to something straight out of a fairy tale gone wrong. The crimson look gave off strong 'Little Red Riding Hood vibes,' and unfortunately, not in a flattering way. Instead of complementing the festivities, it reportedly stole attention from the bride and groom on their big day.
Ivanka later shared a photo of herself in a pink bridal-style mini dress on Instagram.
Was it intentional? Hard to say. But even if it wasn't, some guests reportedly found the move a bit tone-deaf.
Since most people in the world were already interested in Bezos and Sanchez, Ivanka somehow managed to steal the spotlight.

While there's no indication that Sanchez or Bezos were openly upset, some insiders suggest they may be questioning whether inviting Ivanka was worth the hassle.

Sardaar Ji 3 row: ‘No plans yet to remove Diljit Dosanjh from Border 2'
Diljit Dosanjh continues to find himself in hot water for going ahead with his film Sardaar Ji 3's release overseas, which features Pakistani actor Hania Amir. The move had sparked backlash online with film bodies demanding a ban on Diljit. Now, there's been growing demand for Diljit to be removed from the upcoming war drama Border 2. Diljit Dosanjh However, we have learnt from highly placed sources on the film that, as of now, there is no such development. The source says, 'There is no plan to replace or remove Diljit from Border 2. The announcement about his casting was made almost nine months back, before any of the unfortunate situations had happened. Almost 40-50 percent of the film's shooting has already been done, so making any change at this point is not possible.' On June 25, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees had written letters addressed to Bhushan Kumar (co-producer of Border 2) and actor Sunny Deol, asking them to disassociate from their collaboration with Diljit. However, both of them are yet to reply to the letters. When we reached out to the makers of Border 2 — Nidhi Dutta and Bhushan — our efforts weren't met with a response at the time of going to press. Meanwhile, on Friday, FWICE wrote a letter urging Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw the permission granted for the shooting of the film Border 2 at the National Defence Academy (NDA). Sources claim that the film's team may issue a statement soon.

While Neeru has not issued a formal statement, her actions have fuelled speculation about her stance on the matter. Guru Randhawa deactivates X account after cryptic post on Diljit While artistes like Mika Singh have openly objected to Hania's casting and the decision to release Sardaar Ji 3 overseas, Guru Randhawa too took to X on Thursday to drop a cryptic post that many interpreted as a veiled dig at fellow artist Diljit amid the Sardaar Ji 3 row. "'Lakh pardesi hoyieee, Apna desh nhi bhandi daa. Jehre mulk da khayie, us da bura nhi mangi da,' read a part of Guru's post. However, in a surprise move on Friday, the singer deactivated his account on X.

Alia Bhatt Turns Rekha From Silsila At Umrao Jaan Screening. Don't Miss Her Instagram Post
After serving looks in ombre sarees in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, actor Alia Bhatt turned heads with her fashion choice at the re-release screening of the Rekha-starrer Umrao Jaan on Thursday, June 26, 2025. The actor's blush pink silk saree, in her own words, was an ode to Rekha's look from Silsila, which also released in 1981, the same year as Umrao Jaan. Alia, even in her makeup, recreated Rekha's character, Chandni, from Yash Chopra's Silsila, a take on modern relationships also featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. The Jigra star, who wore a custom Tarun Tahiliani couture saree for the grand showcase, posted a series of pictures from the premiere screening of Umrao Jaan 's restored version on Friday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alia Bhatt 💛 (@aliaabhatt) "An ode to a living legend... there never, was, is or will ever be another like you, ReMaa," she captioned her post on Instagram. For the Umrao Jaan event, Alia's look was put together by stylist Rhea Kapoor, who was also behind the actor's debut Cannes Film Festival appearance this May. Rhea shared details about the actor's outfit for the night in an Instagram post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rhea Kapoor (@rheakapoor) "In the iconic blush of Silsila, Alia Bhatt pays homage to the many shades of Rekha - muse, mystery, and moment. A tribute woven in silk, as Umrao Jaan returns to the big screen. Because legends never go out of style. In custom @taruntahiliani couture," the stylist wrote. Wrapped in six yards of the simple yet elegant, blush pink silk saree with a floor-sweeping palla on the red carpet of the Umrao Jaan event, Alia was grace personified. Her soft look found a bit of edge with a sharp halter-neck blouse with a collared neckline embellished with pink encrusted jewels, befitting a star like Alia. The actor opted for a pair of feather silver earrings, in another hat-tip to Rekha's other famous Sisila look. Alia completed her appearance with a diamond ring and a delicate gold bracelet. Her makeup and hair, like her look, was just optimal in its entirety. She embodied Rekha from Silsila aided by her makeup which gave a naturally flushed and dewy effect with a bit of contour. The peach-tinted matte lips were Alia's addition to the appearance, as opposed to Rekha's deep-red lipcolour from her Silsila days. What is Rekha without her kohl-rimmed eyes brimming with longing and grief in Silsila? Alia too took a leaf from the veteran's book on the eye makeup game and went for the right blend of kajal, eyeliner, and mascara.

Janhvi Kapoor Stuns In An Archival Chikankari Anarkali For Umrao Jaan Screening
Last Updated: Janhvi Kapoor makes a statement in a timeless chikankari ensemble from House of Kotwara, founded by Muzaffar Ali and Meera Ali. Janhvi Kapoor embraced heritage and craftsmanship at the special screening of Umrao Jaan in an archival ensemble from House of Kotwara. Janhvi took to Instagram and posted a reel wearing the chikankari anarkali enhanced with intricate mukesh work. Styled by celebrity fashion stylist Manisha Melwani, Janhvi's ensemble featured a ivory and beige chikankari anarkali with mukesh work and paired it with a beige intricately embroidered dupatta. House of Kotwara is known for taking the traditional embroidery techniques and applying them in classic and contemporary silhouettes and Manisha and Janhvi together created magic with this timeless look. Draped to perfection, the embroidered dupatta beautifully draped on Janhvi by Manisha, was not only hassle free but also added a touch of regal charm to Janhvi's overall style. Janhvi celebrated her traditional look by posting a reel on Instagram, which she dedicated to Rekha, who she lovingly calls Pedamma. Janhvi wrote: For my Pedamma #UmraoJaan the classic, in theatres all over India from tomorrow. Another reason the chikankari ensemble adorned by Janhvi Kapoor is special is because it's from the couture label founded by filmmaker Muzaffar Ali, who also happens to be the director of the film, Umrao Jaan. Muzaffar co-founded the label along with his wife, designer Meera Ali. Janhvi's anarkali is timeless because it blends cultures and also takes inspiration from the films directed by Muzaffar Ali. Janhvi upped her stylish look with earrings from Jagdish jewellers and rings from Jewels by Moksh. Highlighting Janhvi Kapoor's glowing skin with her artistic glam skills was celebrity makeup artist Savleen Manchanda. Bringing Bollywood drama to Janhvi's hairstyle was celebrity hairstylist Hiral Bhatia. And capturing every expression through his lens was celebrity photographer Vaishnav Praveen. The red carpet for the Umrao Jaan screening was graced by the who's who of Bollywood, who came to celebrate the evergreen superstar, Rekha.
