Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, are among the high-profile names expected to attend the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media personality Lauren Sánchez. While the couple has kept most details of the ceremony private, including the exact venue, online reports have indicated the event will be held in Venice on June 27, 2025.
Guest list packed with celebrities and public figures
The wedding is expected to welcome around 200 guests. Alongside DiCaprio and Ceretti, other invited attendees reportedly include Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and Karlie Kloss. Sánchez's former partner Tony Gonzalez and their son Nikko are also said to be attending, reflecting an amicable family arrangement. Jenner and Kardashian were also part of Sánchez's bachelorette party in Paris on May 15, which was held at Lafayette's and attended by Eva Longoria and Katy Perry.
DiCaprio and Ceretti's relationship in the spotlight
Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti have been romantically linked since August 2023. According to RadarOnline, the couple's relationship has grown serious, with insiders claiming that the 50-year-old actor is considering engagement. A source noted DiCaprio's desire to shed his image as a perpetual bachelor, adding, 'He doesn't want to wind up an old bachelor or be seen as a sleazy old womanizer.'
Ceretti addressed their relationship in an interview with Vogue France, sharing that they first met in Milan. She expressed frustration with how the public often labels women as 'so-and-so's girlfriend' but emphasized the strength of their bond: 'If you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Love protects and gives confidence.'
No gifts, only donations at this high-profile celebration
Though speculation swirled about the ceremony being held on Bezos' yacht, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro confirmed the location will be within the city, though the venue remains undisclosed. To maintain Venice's historical setting, event organizers are coordinating closely with local authorities.
As for the invite itself, reports describe the save-the-dates as artistic and elaborate, featuring floating feathers, butterflies, birds in flight, and Venetian gondoliers. In keeping with the couple's style, guests have been asked not to bring gifts. Instead, charitable donations will be made in honor of each attendee.
With DiCaprio now confirmed as part of the guest list, the wedding is shaping up to be a major celebrity event, merging Hollywood, fashion, and tech in one of Europe's most iconic cities.

Amazon Tycoon Jeff Bezos, Fiancee Lauren Sanchez Arrive In Venice For Lavish Wedding
Italy: Amazon's billionaire founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez arrived in Venice on Wednesday ahead of their wedding, an event that has sparked protests in the Italian city. Bezos, the world's fourth-richest person, and his former television anchor bride-to-be were seen stepping off a water taxi at the Aman Hotel on the Grand Canal. The couple's three-day nuptials are due to start on Thursday, and the wedding ceremony is to be held at a secret location. Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are said to have booked out the city's finest hotels for a star-studded guest list rumoured to include Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. Ivanka Trump, the oldest daughter of US President Donald Trump, arrived with her husband, Jared Kushner and their three children on Tuesday afternoon. Rumours have swirled that the ceremony might be held at the Church of the Abbey of Misericordia, or at the Arsenale, a vast shipyard complex dating back to when the city was a naval powerhouse. At least 95 private planes have requested permission to land at Venice's Marco Polo airport, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera said, with the pair reportedly inviting about 200 guests. The lavish celebration has sparked soul-searching in Venice, one of the world's most popular tourism destinations, where some fear the arrival of so many A-list guests and their entourages will make life worse. Greenpeace highlighted the hypocrisy of spending huge amounts on partying in a fragile city "sinking under the weight of the climate crisis". Activists unfurled a giant banner in St Mark's Square on Monday, with a picture of Bezos laughing and a sign reading: "If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax." Sanchez has also been criticised for saying more must be done to tackle climate change while also taking part in a space flight in April on a rocket developed by Bezos's space company Blue Origin.

"All Fine In Fashion, Love, And War": Shobhaa De On Prada's Kolhapuri Flats Row
Much like everything's fair game in love and war, author Shobhaa De downplayed the row over Prada unveiling Kolhapuri flats at a Milan show, without crediting its legacy, saying "it's all fine in fashion, love, and war". The Italian luxury label made no effort to credit the Kolhapuri flats' Indian legacy. Some critics have derisively called it "chappal chori". The fashion powerhouse showcased Kolhapuri chappals on the runway at Milan. The flats were reportedly priced at over Rs 1.25 lakh. The Kolhapuri chappals are not just a pair of sandals - it's a heritage craft that dates back to the 12th century, traditionally handmade by cobblers in Maharashtra and Karnataka. "I don't understand what the outrage is about at all. We should be amused. If anything, we may be flattered. But outrage, come on. Kolhapuri has a GI tag. It's very much a part of our legacy. It was first noticed, not just noticed, but commissioned in the 12th century, worn in the 13th century," Ms De told NDTV. "It takes six weeks even today to be crafted. It is unique. It is very, very distinctive. I mean, let me show you my Kolhapuri. I hope you can see it on camera. I've been wearing Kolhapuris for the longest, longest time. First, because my ancestors come from Kolhapur. And secondly, it's a legacy I'm extremely proud of," Ms De said, flaunting her Kolhapuris. Underlining the point further, Ms De said she has been wearing Kolhapuris right through college, adding "they're all weather". Asked who will buy these flats at such an astronomical price, Mr Dey said,"If Prada has decided that, yes, why not sell them for 1.2 lakhs? And there are idiots around the world who are willing to buy it at that price. I don't think we should be getting up in arms about this. It's maybe some kind of an indirect tribute. Who knows it will lead to a revival." The Kolhapuris have a GI tag, meaning it has to be made in Kolhapur or Satara or even Karnataka, Bijapur, Dharwad and so on, making the chappals very much a part of the Indian tradition of footwear. "I would not call it a sandal. And the French are calling it a chapal. It's not a chapal. There's no question of a chapal. They're just doing what they've done for decades. Appropriating a lot that has to do with Indian craftsmanship, Indian traditions. They don't care to acknowledge it," she said. The writer argued that these brands are looking at India as a market, but added that India is not the market for Kolhapuris because "we have them as our own". "I can get a pretty decent pair for say Rs 500 to 700," she said, wondering which Indian will be foolish enough to pay 1.2 lakhs for a Prada Kolhapuri. "But if the rest of the world suddenly wakes up to how comfortable it is and how, you know, the Beatles made it very popular way back in the 70s. They were always in kurta pajamas and Kolhapuris. There are other top bracket brands. LVMH has just unveiled their collection. They've got snakes and ladders and music. They've got an auto rickshaw bag for God knows how many lakhs. India is the market. India is the moment," said Ms De. The writer said this is not just a fashion moment, but as "moment for all our craft skills" to be showcased to the world. "Whether or not the designers choose to acknowledge the source, I don't think we should be up in arms about that," she reiterated. The writer said India should neither crave nor beg for an acknowledgement as this is something that these big fashion houses have always done. "There will never be an acknowledgement from any of these guys. We should not expect it. We should not beg for it. We should not crave it. We know what we produce is by far the best. These are hand-stitched with organic leather. There are no nails, no rivets as I said. They're made from buffalo hide and the detailing is done with goat leather. These are uniquely our products. So if they want to appropriate them, good luck to them. They've done it always. They've stolen so much from us," she said, adding next on line will be jutis and mojris. Asked if the Kolhapuris are in a fashion slump and will featuring in a Prada line up spark a revival, Ms De said,"I mean these are really unique to us and if there is a revival, well God bless Prada if they make that happen and we all suddenly go back to wearing what, well at least for me, I've worn since my school days, certainly through my college." "All things India and all things Indian seem to be coming back into vogue and good for us. We should exploit the moment. We shouldn't be sitting there and crying about cultural appropriation. I'm sure we have done the same with some of their products in reverse. It's all fine. It's all fine in fashion, love and war as far as I can tell," she said. Asked if she has a message for the artists, Ms De said, "They should feel extremely encouraged. And if some of those orders, not from Prada maybe, from other fashion forward houses, even in India, come to these artisans, then it's a win-win for all. Because if there is that sudden interest, especially the younger generation who may not have grown up wearing Kolhapuris."

Where Will Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez Wedding Be Held? Venice Venues Booked Amid ‘Crazy' Protests
Last Updated: Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez Wedding Venue: To manage possible disruptions, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have booked several venues across different days. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is all set to marry his longtime partner, Lauren Sanchez, in Venice. The multi-day wedding celebrations began on June 24. While the estimated $10 million affair is turning heads for its grandeur, it has also drawn protests and stirred controversy in the city. To manage possible disruptions, the couple has booked several venues across different days. This helps with both security and managing the paparazzi, as reported by Page Six. Why The Protests? The wedding has not gone unnoticed by local protestors. Their aim is to highlight concerns over overtourism and its impact on the city. A group called 'No Space for Bezos" has plastered banners across Venice. 'We reject the exploitative logic that sees the city as a commodity. What worries us even more is a mayor who prefers selling Venice rather than addressing the real problems its residents face — rising living costs, housing prices, the depopulation of the historic centre," Federica Toninello, a spokesperson for the group, told Page Six. 'Bezos is on the run — this is a crazy victory for a small group of people with no money who went up against one of the richest men on the planet," a protester told The Times. Ceremony Venues The main wedding ceremony is expected to happen on San Giorgio Maggiore, an island just across the Grand Canal from St. Mark's Square. La Pagoda: This beachside restaurant is expected to host the welcome ceremony. It offers beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea. Palazzo Pisani Moretta: This historic palace on the Grand Canal is famous for its connection to Venice's annual Doge's Ball, a glamorous masquerade event. Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Misericordia: This grand 14th-century venue was originally planned for the Saturday after-party. But, as per The Times of London, this event was later cancelled due to protest concerns. The Arsenale – Le Tese: The new location for the after party is the Arsenale, also known as Le Tese. It was once used for making sails and ship parts. Church of the Madonna dell'Orto: A 14th-century chapel that houses the tomb of the famous Renaissance painter Tintoretto. It is not confirmed, but Page Six says this church is also on the list of possible venues. Hotel Excelsior: This luxurious five-star hotel is also under consideration. It has a grand look and is located along the beach on the Lido. High-Profile Guests and Luxury Arrangements Guests began arriving in Venice on Tuesday. The guest list includes Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Michael Kives and his wife Lydia and Barry Diller with Diane von Furstenberg. As per Page Six, the guests will be staying in some of Venice's most luxurious hotels, such as Hotel Danieli, the Gritti and Cipriani. Many of which offer views of the Grand Canal or sit close to St. Mark's Square. Aman is also on the list, where the couple is believed to have booked a luxe suite. Famed Venetian pastry shop Rosa Salva will provide desserts and aperitifs. Catering will be handled by La Dogaressa or Cipriani, according to the reports. Decorative pieces and custom glassware have been designed by Laguna B, known for its Murano glass craftsmanship. The guests will also receive goody bags from Laguna B.
