Lauren Sánchez's Bachelorette-Party Style Is Still Going Strong in Cannes
Lauren Sánchez's Paris bachelorette may be over—but she's not yet finished with her bridal-style outfits. Today, the former television journalist was spotted hand-in-hand with fiancé Jeff Bezos as they went out to dinner in Cannes. She wore a short white mini dress with a bubble hem, which she paired with gold statement earrings and strappy white sandals. Tucked under her arm? A black crocodile Hermès bag. The two are in town for the world-famous film festival, which has seen stars from Jennifer Lawrence to Emma Stone descend on the French Riviera in the highest style. (Quite literally: the former wore Dior on the red carpet, while the latter wore Louis Vuitton.) For Bezos—the founder of Amazon and therefore its subsidiary Amazon MGM Studios—it is technically a business trip… albeit one that allows them to stay on their mega-yacht of Koru. But it's not the main reason they are there: This week, Sánchez will receive the Global Gift Women Empowerment Award at Eva Longoria's Global Gift Foundation charity gala. She is being honored for work with the Bezos Earth Fund and This Is About Humanity, which assists families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. It's just the latest high-profile moment for Sánchez after a high-profile few weeks. First, there was her all-female Blue Origin flight in mid-April; then, her splashy bachelorette party in Paris. Celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Katy Perry headed to the City of Lights for an itinerary that included dinner at the Cheval Blanc hotel and a boat ride on the Seine. And they certainly did it in style: Sánchez herself wore everything from a Murmur corset set to an Oscar de la Renta crop top, whereas Kardashian donned an off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton top. If this is just her and her friend group's bachelorette style, it seems we're in for some seriously over-the-top bridal style for Sanchez and Bezos's actual wedding—rumored to be sometime this summer.

Mystery couple mistaken for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez at Cannes
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez made a splash on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet — but things weren't completely as they seemed. A couple, who share an uncanny resemblance to the famed businessman and his soon-to-be wife, turned heads while walking the red carpet at the premiere of "Dossier 137" on Thursday. The unknown woman posed for photos while walking the red carpet in a strapless black and white dress with floral designs on top which transitioned into a full black skirt. The gentleman wore a black tuxedo and a bow tie. They each also wore dark sunglasses, further concealing their true identities. While these two may not actually be Sánchez and Bezos, the famous couple are expected to attend the film festival, as Sánchez is set to receive the 2025 Global Gift Women Empowerment Award at the annual Global Gift Foundation charity gala. The foundation announced its decision to honor Sánchez on Instagram, calling her "a powerful voice for women around the world" whose many qualities, including her "strength, vision, and compassion uplift and inspire." "Through her leadership, she opens doors for others to rise," the post read. "Whether advocating for climate justice with the Bezos Earth Fund or creating safe, dignified spaces for families through This Is About Humanity, Lauren leads with purpose, and brings others with her." Sánchez was recently in the news as part of the all-female flight crew of the Blue Origin New Shepard mission. She was joined by pop star Katy Perry, American TV personality Gayle King, STEMBoard CEO Aisha Bowe, bioastronautics research scientist Amanda Nguyễn and film producer Kerianne Flynn. During the 10-minute, 21-second mission, the women traveled more than 62 miles above Earth, crossing the internationally recognized boundary of space and experienced a few minutes of zero gravity. "I came back to Earth… but something in me is still up there," Sánchez wrote on Instagram after the space flight. "There's a silence in space that somehow made everything feel more alive. I looked down at our planet and felt how fragile and beautiful it all is. And how deeply connected we are." Following the mission, many celebrities shared their opinion on the decision to go through with it, with some questioning whether it was a good use of resources. Actress Olivia Wilde shared a meme of Perry getting off the spacecraft, writing, "Billion dollars bought some good memes I guess." In response to the backlash, Sánchez explained she gets "really fired up" when she sees the comments. "I would love to have them come to Blue Origin and see the thousands of employees that don't just work here but they put their heart and soul into this vehicle," she said. "They love their work and they love the mission and it's a big deal for them." "So when we hear comments like that, I just say, 'Trust me. Come with me. I'll show you what this is about, and it's, it's really eye-opening,'" she added. Fox News Digital has reached out to reps for Bezos and Sánchez for comment.
