As Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's grand Venice wedding celebration kicks off, Kim Kardashian, sister Khloe Kardashian and mom Kris Jenner touched down in Italy June 26 with a very stylish arrival.

Khloe, meanwhile, opted for a leopard print bodycon strapless dress along with big sunglasses. As for Kris, the Kardashian matriarch went simple in a ruffled black long-sleeved dress, complete with her own pair of sunnies.
Naturally, the trio got right to greeting fellow guests at the star-studded affair. Shortly after their arrival the trio chatted with Orlando Bloom, who arrived in Venice solo amid reports that he and Katy Perry have split after nine years together and a four-year engagement.
Kim and Orlando shared a hug as he stood from his waterside lunch table to greet the group.

Kim, Khloe and Kris' arrival in Venice officially kicks off Jeff and Lauren's wedding affair, but the couple have already started celebrating on their own. After all, the Amazon founder and journalist hosted a foam party June 22 in Croatia on Jeff's $500 million yacht—seemingly to celebrate Lauren's son Evan, who turned 19 that same day.
And of course, the Kardashians have already been a large part of Jeff, 61, and Lauren's milestone. Kris and Kim even joined Lauren—along with Eva Longoria and Katy—for her Paris bachelorette party in May.
"Forever starts with friendship,' Lauren gushed in an Instagram post highlighting her special weekend, 'surrounded by the women who've lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way."
While the star-studded affair will be the beginning of Jeff and Lauren's happily ever after, the 55-year-old has previously said thatt life with Jeff is already special enough on its own.
'It's the greatest experience I've ever had,' she told the Wall Street Journal shortly after the pair confirmed their relationship in 2023. 'We love to be together and we love to work together.'

By the numbers: What we know about Bezos' wedding in Venice
It's likely the most expensive wedding this year. Though details of the wedding between Amazon multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are sketchy, it's certainly causing a storm, not least in Venice, where they're set to tie the knot this weekend. Here's a guide by the numbers: ___ 228 Billion, that is. That's the net worth of Jeff Bezos, according to real-time data from Forbes, making him the third-richest person in the world behind tech bros Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Not bad, considering that he founded Amazon out of his garage in Seattle in 1994, with not much more than a desk, a fax machine and a long orange extension cord that was needed to supply the room with additional power. From its origins as an online bookstore, Amazon's tentacles are now felt all around the world. If you want anything, it'll likely be for sale there. Amazon also now produces movies, runs the Whole Foods grocery chain and has become the leader in voice-activated speakers. Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon in early 2021, citing the desire to devote more time to philanthropy and other projects, including The Washington Post, the newspaper he bought in 2013 and his rocket company, Blue Origin. But Bezos still has broad influence over Amazon as executive chair and the company's biggest shareholder, though his stake has diminished over the years to under 10%. 2 This is the second time that Bezos — and Sanchez — will be walking down the aisle. Bezos, 61, was married to MacKenzie Bezos for 25 years until their divorce in April 2019. TV anchor Sanchez, 55, also divorced her first husband of 14 years, talent agent Patrick Whitesell, in 2019. The divorce came at a high price for Jeff Bezos. Only the divorce of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates has been more expensive. As part of the settlement, MacKenzie, who has taken her middle name Scott as her new surname, received 25% of Bezos' stake in Amazon. According to Forbes, she is worth a cool $30 billion, easily placing her in the world's top 100. 2,456 According to travel website Kayak, that's the euro price ($2,850) for the next available room at the Aman Venice, the hotel where the couple are believed to be staying during their three-day wedding extravaganza. The hotel is a grand spectacle in a city of spectacles. Like Venice itself, the hotel blends mystery and grandeur, opulence and solitude. The rooms are decorated with works by a number of Italy's greatest artists, including 16th-century architect Sansovino and 18th-century painter Tiepolo. Given his wealth, Bezos would be expected to reside in one of the suites. The 97 square-meter (1,044 square feet) Grand Canal Suite would surely meet the moment. According to the hotel, it 'beguiles with views of the Grand Canal and an abundance of light.' Or how about the Alcova Tiepolo Suite? It is slightly bigger at 103 square meters (1108 square feet), which allows guests the opportunity to stay among 18th-century frescoes by Tiepolo. 48,283 Or thereabouts. That's the approximate population of Venice's historic center, which is composed of over 100 islands connected by footbridges and traversed by its famed canals. And it's clear not everyone is thrilled by the arrival of Bezos, his wife-to-be and their 200 or so guests, which it seems will include Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name just a few. And it doesn't seem as though the protesters will stay silent. About a dozen Venetian organizations, including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups, have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words that refers to Sanchez's recent space flight. To many Venetians, the city has lost its charms over the decades, with mass tourism making it an increasingly difficult and expensive place to live, particularly in the summer. To many, Venice has become the ground zero of overtourism, not least when massive cruise liners deposit their cargo of thousands of passengers for a few hours of sightseeing. The locals are often outnumbered by tourists. 90 That's the number of wedding-related private jets that are expected to land at Treviso and Venice airports. Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia reckons the Bezos wedding is all worth it and will generate around $50 million for the city and a celebrity quotient that would 'bring visibility and promotion' to Venice worth more than five American Super Bowls.

Budget traveler reveals inside of $7 per night hostel: ‘That's just prison'
It cost $7— but it was hardly seventh heaven. German backpacker Fiona Strack has shocked social media after sharing footage of an ultra-cheap hostel that she stayed in during her travels to Manila in The Philippines. 'Still not sure if it was a hostel, a dog shelter, or a prison' she wrote in the caption, 'but hey, €6 (USD $7) a night and I had WiFi, electricity, a fan, and a clean towel.' Advertisement The viral reel posted to her account, @ detailing the hostel's tiny sleeping space, shabby bathroom, and padlocked metal door — has racked up over 32.5 million views in just three days, and commenters expressed every emotion from shock to horror to slightly guilty amusement. 'May this never ever find me,' one commenter wrote. 'Baby, that's just prison,' said another sympathetic viewer. Advertisement 4 'For 6 euros, this isn't bad,' justified one commenter. Instagram/@ 4 On her Instagram, Strack identifies as a solo traveler and a 'digital nomad.' Instagram/@ 'Typical New York 1 bedroom,' quipped one commenter. 'Ma'am, you're crate training,' joked a user, while another said, 'Not the human kennel…' Advertisement Many commenters were also concerned that the influencer had mistaken the bidet for the shower head, but unfortunately for curious viewers, that was among the only details she didn't share. 4 'I'd rather not travel and stay home instead. I really don't understand why people want to travel the world like this,' said one critic. Instagram/@ 'I am so glad that my level of budget hotels is four stars and up. I'm not compromising safety, a good night's rest, a private bathroom and shower, and room service just to save a few bucks,' argued a particularly detail-oriented traveler. 'I'd rather this than a tent in the woods or sleeping in my car,' replied one wallet-conscious Instagrammer. 'It's not bad for one or two nights to save money.' Advertisement 4 Strack travels across the world with just a few bags to her name. Instagram/@ Despite the jokes and pity from commenters who were horrified by the budget hostel's appearance, Strack seems to be no stranger to the unexpected, particularly where travel fails are concerned. The influencer has been traveling across Asia for the past year, and has documented her adventures in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, among other locales. While she shares some undeniably beautiful sights from her travels — pink sand beaches, vibrant city streets and verdant forest hikes — Strack is also brutally honest with her followers about her lifestyle. 'Unfortunately, I'm not sponsored and I'm not traveling from daddy's money,' she explained in another recent video. 'I just work. I'm a low-budget backpacker, so I don't need a lot. I always try to find a job or volunteer project in the place I'm at, and sometimes I work in exchange for food or accommodations,' she shared. Strack also added that she works in social media management for a German company, and works about 15 hours a week on that job. It's enough for Southeast Asia, she says, but not for everywhere, so staying in a budget hostel like the one in her viral reel is sometimes necessary. While the travel influencer may have expressed a little bit of apprehension while she navigated the dingy hallways of the €6 accommodation, her latest posts see her spirits lifted after what the Internet supposes must have been a 'traumatic' hostel stay — snorkeling in clear blue waters with turtles and catching bright orange sunsets in the Philippines aren't bad pick-me-ups, after all.
