Lauren Sanchez Embraces High-gloss Glamour in Strapless Gown With Larger Than Life Diamond at Cannes' Global Gift Gala
Lauren Sánchez made an official appearance at the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival on Monday, attending the Global Gift Gala, where she was honored with the Global Gift Women Empowerment Aware for her advocacy through the Bezos Earth Fund and This Is About Humanity. The children's book author and fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos posed on the white carpet alongside Eva Longoria in a sleek, strapless gown fit for the festival's black-tie standard.
Sánchez wore a form-fitting black gown featuring a structured bodice with a sweetheart neckline. The design was embellished with intricate sequin detailing, while the skirt fanned into a soft, cascading silhouette with a dripping effect at the hips. Her shoes, which barely peeked out from her train, featured a sharp box toe.

She kept accessories classic, opting for a diamond-encrusted choker featuring a square-cut center stone and matching oversized diamond stud earrings. For glam, Sánchez styled her hair in an updo, with a soft side-parted bang framing her face. Her beauty look included a diffused smoky eye and a glossy pink lip for a polished finish.
Earlier in the festival, Sánchez found herself at the center of an amusing case of mistaken identity. A lookalike couple, complete with dark sunglasses, a bow tie, and a strapless gown, drew attention from festivalgoers who mistook them for the Blue Origin executive and the Amazon founder at the 'Dossier 137 (Case 137)' premiere.
Sánchez has leaned into classic Hollywood glamour in recent appearances. In April, she attended the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony in a vintage 1994 John Galliano gown once worn by Sophia Loren. 'I wore a little piece of history,' she shared on Instagram. 'This 1994 John Galliano dress was once worn by the legendary Sophia Loren — an icon of strength and timeless beauty.'
Co-chaired by Eva Longoria and María Bravo, the 12th annual Global Gift Gala featured performances by Laura Pausini and the Gipsy Reyes Heritage, and included a live auction to benefit charitable initiatives such as Casa Ángeles in Marbella, Spain, and an orphanage in Vietnam.
The 2025 Cannes Film Festival concludes on May 24. Films premiering at this year's festival include Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme,' Julia Ducournau's 'Alpha' and Lynne Ramsay's 'Die, My Love.'

I Love This Portable 32-Inch Touchscreen TV and It's on Sale at Amazon Right Now
For a brand I had previously never heard about, Fiteye captivated me with its portable "TV" offering. The premise is similar to LG's StandbyME Rollable Smart Touch Screen but uses Android OS, offers longer battery life, a larger display and costs less with the current $193 discount in both the white and cream white models. You'll find it for $897 right now at Amazon. It's essentially a TV on wheels connected to a 15,000-mAh battery buried somewhere inside the base of its stand. However, I'd be hard-pressed to call this thing a TV; since it's touch screen, it's more like an oversized Android tablet on wheels. Somehow, since it arrived at my doorstep, it has followed me everywhere I go in the house. In fact, it's watching me type at this very moment. Now I can't imagine what life would be like if my giant Android tablet were to leave. It's become everything: a TV, a monitor, a signboard, a companion, a friend… I digress. What exactly is this TV for? A bit of everything, really. So far, I've used it to watch anime with my headphones connected, lounging on the couch while my partner uses the living room TV. I've used it as a monitor for my MacBook while working. I've rolled it up to my minibar and used it to look at cocktail recipes while mixing. I've used it as a recipe book, a kitchen chalkboard, an indoor news signboard, an outdoor TV and the list goes on and on. Dreamchild Obari/CNET It also has a front camera -- not a very powerful one but it could work in a pinch. You can set it up to do video calls with friends and family who don't care too much about video quality. It's also perfect for video calling in a games night, and we've used it as a Scrabble dictionary instead of people using different phones to check words. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. It's not particularly the best at all these things. For instance, there are many dedicated outdoor TVs and projectors with better sound, image quality and insulation but it's perfect at being a jack-of-all-trades, moving around the house to where it's needed the most. It cannot completely replace a tablet, a phone, a monitor or even a TV, though, and I won't recommend it as any one of these. But if you need an average extra screen for any reason or a smart display for your smart home -- this is the way to go. What are the specs? As a tablet, its performance is decent. It has an 8-core unspecified CPU that runs Android 12 OS compatible with many apps in the App Store, 128GB of built-in storage and 6GB of RAM. So far, I haven't noticed any lag in performance or video playback. Dreamchild Obari/CNET The 32-inch display has a surprisingly crisp high-contrast LCD panel, 60Hz refresh rate and 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. With its ability to rotate and swivel, it's not hard to adjust it to a good viewing angle. It is lacking in the sound department, though. I've taken to pairing it with a portable Bluetooth speaker. Another thing that pleases me about this smart screen is its battery. Fiteye claims you can get up to 7 hours of usage time with it. I've left mine on for up to 48 hours, displaying my curated Flipboard widget at the lowest brightness. However, since the battery isn't integrated into the tablet, tracking battery health using the LED screen on the base's stand is a hassle since the numbers are inaccurate and the LED display tends to shut off when inactive.
