BREAKING NEWS Ivanka Trump sparks security fears at Jeff Bezos wedding with intimate photo 'revealing location'
Ivanka Trump has sparked security fears after she potentially revealed the new location of the star-studded wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
The three-day party, $48 million affair in Venice had a last minute venue change due to protests from angry locals and global tensions arising from the US strike on Iran over this past weekend.
Ivanka has ignited concerns after she posted a photo of her hotel room number alongside several pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner in their formal attire.
'Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends, Lauren Sanchez and @JeffBezos,' she posted on X on Thursday afternoon.
The image set contained a photograph of a white door with the couple's room number and the word 'Dolce Vita' written on the front.
It immediately sparked concerned replies from eagle-eyed social media users.
'Did you dox location by posting the photo of that door?' one person replied to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people.
The pre-wedding festivities began Thursday with what was believed to be the rehearsal dinner, an event attended by a long list of celebrities.
They include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, all of whom were dressed to the nines.
Ivanka and Kushner were seen arriving in Venice ahead of the event in a gondola. The couple previously jetted in with their children Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 10, and Theodore James, eight.

Ivanka is one of the most insulated guests at the wedding, since she has a Secret Service detail that is no doubt causing a headache for other partygoers.
A heavy police presence has been spotted in the city ahead of the nuptials, while divers were seen conducting sweeps of the canals.
On Thursday, the bride was seen sporting terrifyingly tight corset for the party, while her Amazon billionaire groom was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and sunglasses.
Bezos held out his hand as he and Sanchez stepped aboard a water taxi, before the the couple shared a quick kiss in front of adoring fans.
Ivanka and her family jetted off to Venice on Tuesday to make the wedding.
The family has been seeing enjoying the sites, spotted getting into a water taxi to explore the city on Wednesday.
Ivanka has been sharing their trip to social media, posting some snaps from the family vacation later on in the day.
'Da Venezia, con amore,' she captioned a series of photos, which translates to 'From Venice, with love.'
The upcoming wedding seems to be a family affair for Ivanka, as other members of the Trump family are rumored to be among the 200 guests.
The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night, but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media.
A source revealed to Daily Mail that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well.
Bezos' superyacht, Koru, which includes a bronze goddess statue that shares similarities with his lover Sanchez, is also in the area, moored off the coast of Croatia, which is located across from Italy in the Mediterranean.
However, not all are happy about Bezos taking over the city for days.
On Monday, Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner in St Mark's Square, the iconic heart of Venice protesting against the wedding.
It showed an image of Bezos face and the slogan: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.'
Activists from British group 'Everyone Hates Elon' were also involved and said they had carried it out to highlight the, 'environmental and social injustice of the wedding'.
One said: 'Bezos encapsulates an economic and social model which is steering us towards collapse.
'All to often now social injustice travels on an equal par with the climate, on one side the arrogance of a few billionaires who have a lifestyle that devastates the planet, the other people who suffer daily from the environment crisis.'
These demonstrations are part of the reason why Bezos chose to move part of the wedding elsewhere. He's also hired a team of former US marines to provide security for the event.
The actual wedding ceremony is set to kick off on Friday.

Kim Kardashian bares her sculpted abs with youthful Kris Jenner for new SKIMS drop
Kim Kardashian showed off her sculpted abs alongside mom Kris Jenner who put on a youthful appearance for the upcoming Roberto Cavalli x SKIMS collection. The TV personality, 44 - who was recently seen in Venice ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish nuptials - jumped to her Instagram page on Thursday to give a glimpse at BTS snaps from the campaign. The swimwear line is set to become available later this week on Friday, June 27 - and offers a number of pieces from bikinis to stylish dresses. The mom-of-four wowed in a patterned bikini top with a plunging neckline as well as matching bottoms. Kim continued to rock a blonde bob for the photo shoot and added a pair of flashy earrings for a finishing touch. The reality star struck a number of poses inside the entryway of a spacious bathroom and in another image, she gazed at her reflection in a large mirror. The post also included pictures as she was joined by her mom Kris who was also a part of the latest campaign. Kim wore a one-piece swimsuit with a lowcut, scooped neckline and had a thin strip of fabric that was tied around her tiny waist. She slipped into a pair of open-toed, gold heels and accessorized the look with a pair of dangly earrings. Her momager donned a flowy coverup that was comprised of the same striped pattern and a scarf was wrapped around her short, darker locks. The pair took an assortment of snaps while standing in front of a wood-paneled wall to flaunt the items from the new collection. In the caption of the Instagram carousel, the beauty simply penned to her 356 million followers: 'CAVALLI x SKIMS BTS,' followed by a video camera emoji. Jenner also uploaded some of the same images to her own page to help promote the collection with the summer season in full swing. Earlier this week on Tuesday, Kim put on a busty display in other pictures for the campaign and looked nearly unrecognizable as she went back to blonde with the curly bob. In one image, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing a one-piece swimsuit with a scooped neckline and tiger print design. Jenner could also be seen wearing a flowy coverup that fell down past her ankles and was also made with the same tiger print. A video was included in the post to show Kris whispering into her daughter's ear as other models moved about behind them. Another snap was taken inside a walk-in closet as Kardashian donned a skintight blue-patterned dress which clung to her frame and contained a plunging neckline on the front. Kim later turned up the heat in a printed bikini top as well as matching bottoms as she soaked up the warm sunshine while lounging on a chair outside. The media personality and her mom also paused for photos inside a retro-inspired kitchen - and the SKIMS founder continued to flaunt her summer-ready body in a bandeau top as well as matching bikini bottoms. She added a pair of fitted, capri leggings as Jenner wore a look made of the same print while sitting at a circular table. A short reel showed Kim grab a slice of toast from the table and she continued to nibble on the breakfast snack in an open doorway. Jenner was the forefront in one picture as she posed on a lounge chair inside a spacious living room. She wore an animal-print swimsuit and coverup while her daughter wore a similar one-piece ensemble on a chair not far behind her. The latest collection is described as: 'Roberto Cavalli's exotic Italian glamour merges with SKIMS signature silhouettes in this limited-edition collection that adds bold, sexy luxury to every swim look.' During an interview with Vogue, the TV personality opened up about how the campaign with Cavalli came to be. 'Skims can be really simple; it's all about the fits and the materials and the way they make you feel, but when you go on vacation sometimes you want something different.' Kim added, 'We were making our own prints and I was just thinking, "You know what? There has to be some way to do a Skims Cavalli collab…"' The Kardashians star then explained that she decided to reach out to the creative director of the brand, Fausto Puglisi, which led to the collaboration coming to life. The beauty has been keeping busy and recently celebrated her BFF La La Anthony's 43rd birthday this week - and shared snaps from a special dinner to her Instagram page on Wednesday. In the two selfies, Kim was also joined by her reclusive brother Rob Kardashian - which sent fans wild. The mom-of-four has whisked herself away to Venice, where she was seen on Thursday ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding which is set to take place on Friday, June 27. Last month in May, Kim and her mom Kris notably attended Lauren's bachelorette bash in Paris. Other celebrities that were at the party were Eva Longoria and Katy Perry. Other A-list guests that are expected to attend include Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and Oprah Winfrey. As she arrived to the romantic city of Venice, Kim turned heads as she showed off her slim waist in a Balenciaga ensemble. The reality star donned a strapless, black bandeau top as well as a maxi skirt that clung to her frame. She layered the outfit with a black jacket that was draped down towards her elbows and slipped into a pair of snakeskin boots. Her hair was pulled back and styled into a sleek bun to prevent any strands from falling onto her face.

Lalo Schifrin, composer of Mission: Impossible theme, dies aged 93
Lalo Schifrin, the composer who wrote the iconic theme for Mission: Impossible and more than 100 other arrangements for film and television, has died at 93. Schifrin's sons William and Ryan confirmed his death to trade outlets. The Argentine won four Grammys and was nominated for six Oscars, including five for original score for Cool Hand Luke, The Fox, Voyage of the Damned, The Amityville Horror and The Sting II. 'Every movie has its own personality. There are no rules to write music for movies,' Schifrin said in 2018. 'The movie dictates what the music will be.' He also wrote the grand finale musical performance for the World Cup championship in Italy in 1990, in which the Three Tenors — Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti and José Carreras — sang together for the first time. The work became one of the biggest sellers in the history of classical music. Schifrin, also a jazz pianist and classical conductor, had a remarkable career in music that included working with Dizzy Gillespie and recording with Count Basie and Sarah Vaughan. But perhaps his biggest contribution was the instantly recognisable score to television's Mission: Impossible, which fueled the decades-spanning film franchise led by Tom Cruise. Written in the unusual 5/4 time signature, the them was married to an on-screen self-destruct clock that kicked off the TV show, which ran from 1966 to 1973. It was described as 'only the most contagious tune ever heard by mortal ears' by New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane and even hit No 41 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968. Schifrin originally wrote a different piece of music for the theme song but series creator Bruce Geller liked another arrangement Schifrin had composed for an action sequence. 'The producer called me and told me, 'You're going to have to write something exciting, almost like a logo, something that will be a signature, and it's going to start with a fuse,'' Schifrin said in 2006. 'So I did it and there was nothing on the screen. And maybe the fact that I was so free and I had no images to catch, maybe that's why this thing has become so successful — because I wrote something that came from inside me.' When director Brian De Palma was asked to take the series to the silver screen, he wanted to bring the theme along with him, leading to a creative conflict with composer John Williams, who wanted to work with a new theme of his own. Out went Williams and in came Danny Elfman, who agreed to retain Schifrin's music. Mission: Impossible won Grammys for best instrumental theme and best original score from a motion picture or a TV show. In 2017, the theme was entered into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Born Boris Claudio Schifrin to a Jewish family in Buenos Aires — where his father was the concertmaster of the philharmonic orchestra — Schifrin was classically trained in music, in addition to studying law. After studying at the Paris Conservatory — where he learned about harmony and composition from the legendary Olivier Messiaen — Schifrin returned to Argentina and formed a concert band. Gillespie heard Schifrin perform and asked him to become his pianist, arranger and composer. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States, playing in Gillespie's quintet in 1960-62 and composing the acclaimed 'Gillespiana.' The long list of luminaries he performed and recorded with includes Ella Fitzgerald, Stan Getz, Dee Dee Bridgewater and George Benson. He also worked with such classical stars as Zubin Mehta, Mstislav Rostropovich, Daniel Barenboim and others. Schifrin moved easily between genres, winning a Grammy for 1965's Jazz Suite on the Mass Texts while also earning a nod that same year for the score of TV's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. In 2018, he was given an honorary Oscar statuette and, in 2017, the Latin Recording Academy bestowed on him one of its special trustee awards. Later film scores included Tango, Rush Hour and its two sequels, Bringing Down The House, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, After the Sunset and the horror film Abominable. He also wrote the arrangement for Dirty Harry and it was the film's star, Clint Eastwood, who handed him his honorary Oscar. 'Receiving this honorary Oscar is the culmination of a dream,' Schifrin said at the time. 'It is mission accomplished.' The countdown begins. The fuse lights. The music hits and suddenly, you're in it. That was the genius of Lalo Schifrin. With six Academy Award nominations and iconic scores for MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, THE FOX, BULLITT, AND THE STING II, Schifrin didn't just write music, he built… — The Academy (@TheAcademy) June 26, 2025 Schifrin's conducting credits include the London Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, the Mexico Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He was appointed music director of Southern California's Glendale Symphony Orchestra and served in that capacity from 1989-1995. Schifrin also wrote and adapted the music for 'Christmas in Vienna' in 1992, a concert featuring Diana Ross, Carreras and Domingo. In 1988 Schifrin wrote and conducted the choral symphony Songs of the Aztecs, perhaps one of the only operas performed in the ancient Indigenous language of Nahuatl, The work premiered at Mexico's Teotihuacan pyramids with Domingo as part of a campaign to raise money to restore the site's Aztec temple. In addition to his sons, Schifrin is survived by his daughter, Frances, and wife, Donna.

Mel B set to ditch the leopard print for a conventional white wedding with her fiancé Rory McPhee as she prepares to tie the knot for the third time
There won't be a spot of leopard-print in sight when Scary Spice Mel B marries fiancé Rory McPhee next weekend in St Paul's Cathedral. This will be the third wedding for Mel, who is 50 and a mother of three, Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13. And it has now been revealed the bride is going all out for a perfectly traditional, perfectly English white wedding, with a thoroughly conventional dress – not designed by Victoria Beckham, even though Mel herself said that was happening last year. Sources told The Mail's Alison Boshoff that she will wear British designer Josephine Scott for the service on Saturday, July 5, in the crypt at the church where Prince Charles married Diana Spencer in 1981. It can be revealed that there will be a further celebration with friends and family – and another wedding ceremony – at a hotel in Morocco later in July. Mel will wear a flashier gown, from US wedding designer Justin Alexander, for that one. The star told Women's Wear Daily in May: 'This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper. All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators. 'Then, I'm having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy and beautiful.' At her first wedding, to Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998, Mel wore a Vegas showgirl style feathered headdress with a white and gold dress. Her second wedding, to Stephen Belafonte, in 2007, was a Las Vegas elopement, followed by a vow renewal in Egypt the following year. This time round, a friend revealed: 'It's a very traditional dress and the service will be totally traditional. She will come down the aisle to organ music.' There will be a small reception in London afterwards. As to whether the Spice Girls will attend, it's anybody's guess. As ever, there are tensions between the former bandmates. Mel C and Emma Bunton came to her 50th birthday party in Leeds earlier this month with their partners and they should be there. As for Geri Halliwell-Horner and Victoria Beckham, we shall have to wait and see. After Mel and Stephen Belafonte separated in 2016 she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied. His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune. Mel grew close to McPhee after the breakdown of her marriage to Belafonte. Last year she said: 'He's a family friend, great hair- dresser... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments... 'And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.'
