Lauren Sánchez Touches Down in Venice for Star-studded Wedding With Jeff Bezos Wearing Vintage Alexander McQueen
Lauren Sánchez and her fiancé, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have arrived in Venice, Italy, on Wednesday, ahead of their three-day wedding event. For their first appearance in the city, Sánchez wore a vintage Alexander McQueen dress from the brand's spring 2003 collection.
Sánchez donned a black one-shoulder evening gown by McQueen with a fitted, floor-length silhouette. The dress featured diagonal white beaded stripes that create a dynamic pattern across the entire garment. Originally, the dress had a mermaid-style cut that hugged the body and flared out at the bottom into a train.

Sánchez accessorized with diamond jewelry, which included her 20- to 30-carat cushion-cut engagement ring from Bezos, which is worth an estimated $2.5 million.
The former TV news anchor has a penchant for McQueen. She notably wore a white McQueen bustier top to Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration on Jan. 20, paired with a suit.
Bezos' fiancée has been working with celebrity stylist Molly Dickson for the past year. Dickson dressed her in a white Oscar de la Renta gown for the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars party in March.
Sánchez and Bezos are celebrating their wedding with a lavish, multiday event in Venice, Italy, drawing global attention and a star-studded guest list. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, Katy Perry and Ivanka Trump are among the expected attendees of the event.
Bezos' and Sanchez's wedding in Venice continues the city's custom of hosting extravagant ceremonies and is planned to wrap up on Saturday, culminating in a final evening celebration at the Arsenale.
Bezos' and Sánchez's relationship began in 2016 when they met through Sánchez's then-husband, Patrick Whitesell, but their romance became public in January 2019 after both announced separations from their spouses. Over the years, they have maintained a close and affectionate partnership, often seen together and sharing a strong bond marked by mutual support and shared interests, including aviation and philanthropy. They got engaged in May 2023 after nearly five years together.

Katy Perry Skipping Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez's Wedding Has Nothing To Do With Orlando Bloom
This week, one of the biggest celebrity weddings will be taking place in Venice, Italy, when Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez say their 'I do's.' And while many celebs like Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian will be in attendance, Katy Perry, who's a friend of Sánchez and even attended her Bachelorette Party in Paris in May, won't be making the trip. But if you're reading this thinking that her absence might have to do with Orlando Bloom, whom she reportedly broke up with after nine years together recently, think again. As it turns out, Perry can't make it because she's right in the middle of the Lifetimes Tour. More from SheKnows Katy Perry's Tearful Onstage Moment May Have Foreshadowed Trouble With Orlando Bloom On June 26, 27 and 29, the 'Teenage Dream' singer has concerts on the other side of the world in Adelaide, Australia. And, of course, given how far Adelaide is from Venice, it's not a trip she can go on quickly and come back. So, instead, Perry is making the best of her time 'down under.' On Instagram, she shared some highlights of her time there, including cute pics of her 4-year-old daughter with Bloom, Daisy Dove, and some selfies with a Quokka, a cute animal that only lives in Australia. 'mood: Quokka,' Perry wrote in the caption. In the comment section, Sánchez sent her friend some love. 'We miss you Katy ❤️,' she wrote. But while Perry will be miles away from Bezos and Sánchez's glamorous nuptials, Bloom will be in attendance. In fact, according to TMZ, he's seeing the opportunity to make 'his debut as a single man.' '[Bloom is] the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!' the source told TMZ of the actor's plans. '90% of the people at the wedding are kinda boring, but 10% are really fun, including Orlando, Leo and Jeff (Bezos),' the source revealed. 'It's gonna be a great party!' According to Daily Mail, Bloom's insistence on going, despite all the online gossip about their split, might be exactly to send Perry a message. 'He's insistent that he goes, which annoys her because he's not particularly close to either of them,' a source said. 'She feels like it's a 'f— you' to her from him.' 'Katy feels like they're really her friends more than his, and yet he's the one going to the wedding,' the source continued. At least she's still managing to have some fun in Australia, right?Best of SheKnows 60 Times Emma Stone's Timeless Red Carpet Fashion Looks Took Our Breath Away 39 Times Actresses Totally Transformed For a Role: See Side-by-Side Photos Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez's Full Relationship Timeline

Orlando Bloom Seemingly Cozied Up to Someone Close to the Royal Family During Jeff Bezos' Wedding
Despite Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's breakup after nine years this week, eyewitnesses claim Bloom has already moved on. In fact, multiple outlets and eyewitnesses claim he was getting cozy with a woman named Jamie Mizrahi, also known as one of Meghan Markle's stylists. But we're here to pump the brakes on that rumor, and tell you the truth behind those images on every gossip site. As many of you know, Bloom was in attendance at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding. While he was getting into the water taxi for the festivities, many noticed he was getting on board with someone: Mizrahi, and the pair were seen laughing in the taxi. More from SheKnows All the A-List Celebrities Reportedly on Lauren Sanchez & Jeff Bezos' Wedding Guest List But who is Mizrahi? Well, she's one of Hollywood's most respected stylists, working with Meghan, Oscar-winner Mikey Madison, Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Allen White, Dakota Johnson, and more; including Bloom's ex-fiancée Perry. That's right, Mizrahi is Bloom and Perry's stylist! Another thing to keep in mind: Mizrahi may be a married woman. Back in 2016, Jamie married portfolio manager Nico Mizrahi after months of long-distance. After five years of dating, he proposed and they married in a gorgeous Aspen wedding, per Vogue. It's unclear if they're still together since both of them are super private, but it's safe to assume that the perceived coziness between Jamie and the Pirates of the Caribbean star is just the effect of a close friendship. Plus, since it's the wedding of the decade, we're sure she had quite a few clients to style over the past few of SheKnows 60 Times Emma Stone's Timeless Red Carpet Fashion Looks Took Our Breath Away 39 Times Actresses Totally Transformed For a Role: See Side-by-Side Photos Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez's Full Relationship Timeline
