Inside Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' final wedding celebration as Oprah and Kendall Jenner lead arrivals
Oprah Winfrey, Kendall Jenner and Vittoria Ceretti were among those first to arrive for the final night of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos ' wedding celebrations. Tonight is set to be the last official event of the multi-day extravaganza in Venice, Italy, that saw the couple tie the knot in front of nearly 200 VIPs on San Maggiore island on Friday. This evening, stars have been making their way to the Arsenale for the grand finale. The Arsenale is located in Venice's Castello district and was reportedly chosen last-minute due to growing protests surrounding the ultra-wealthy nuptials. The venue's remote layout makes it more difficult for both protestors and press to access - an intentional pivot from the high-visibility locations of previous events. Lauren herself has already emerged for the evening in a stunning pink embellished bandeau gown that enhanced her ample assets. The blushing bride, 55, shared a kiss with her new husband, 61, before waving to fans from a balcony. As the stars continue to file in thick and fast to finish the weekend off with a bang, FEMAIL has shared all the latest looks below.

Wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez moved after Venice protests
Protesters in Venice have declared victory after Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez decided to move their wedding to a more isolated part of the city. It follows weeks of demonstrations and public anger over the billionaire tech founder's plans to turn a popular central nightlife area of the floating city into a private event for the couple's wedding ceremony. Sources have told the Reuters news agency the decision was taken because of fears of further demonstrations. Between 200 and 250 VIP guests from show business, politics and finance will now head to a hall of the Arsenale, a vast 14th-century complex in the eastern Castello district. The wedding is expected to take place between Thursday and Saturday. The new location is surrounded by water and impossible to reach once connecting bridges are raised. The original venue was Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a medieval former religious school located in the Cannaregio district. "The news that Bezos has run away from the Misericordia is a great victory for us," said Tommaso Cacciari, a leader of the "No Space for Bezos" campaign that is leading the anti-wedding front. The group has vowed to make the event a "nightmare" for attendees, planning more protests on Saturday along Venice's canals, bridges and narrow streets. But Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto region that comprises the city, has criticised the protests, saying the 90 private jets carrying guests to nearby airports would bring revenue of up to 48 million euros ($85 million) to local businesses. Among those expected to attend are US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Mr Bezos, 61, executive chair of e-commerce giant Amazon, is ranked number four on Forbes' billionaires list. He got engaged to Ms Sanchez, 55, in 2023, four years after the collapse of his 25-year marriage to Mackenzie Scott. Reuters

Dairy group Arla sees higher revenue in 2025 as prices rise
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Denmark's Arla Foods, maker of Lurpak butter and Castello cheese, reported a slight rise in 2024 revenue on Wednesday and predicted a bigger increase this year driven by higher prices. The cooperative, which is one of the world's largest dairy firms, said it had continued to slash costs and that it would raise its dividend payment for 2024 to a record high. "We see a high demand for dairy and our products in particular across the globe," Arla CEO Peder Tuborgh said in a statement. The company, owned by 7,600 dairy farmers in seven countries across northern Europe, posted 2024 revenue of 13.8 billion euros ($14.43 billion), up from 13.7 billion in 2023. It forecast revenue would rise to between 14.5 billion and 15.3 billion euros in 2025, with growth "driven by the high dairy price level". It predicted consumer purchasing power would remain stable in 2025 following improvements in 2024 that were driven by easing inflation and rising wages compared to the previous year. Arla's profit, which last year stood at 401 million euros, or 2.9% of its revenue, was expected to remain in the group's target range of 2.8% to 3.2% in 2025, it said. Arla expects global dairy supply, which fell short of demand in 2024, to adapt to the elevated price levels, potentially boosting output in 2025, it said. However, it said geopolitical tensions and uncertainty in the global market were of concern, with the war in Ukraine and developments in the Middle East highlighting vulnerabilities in international supply chains. Arla, a competitor of companies like Danone and Nestle in the dairy industry, is owned by farmers in Denmark, Sweden, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
