Lauren Sanchez totes black Hermes bag in NYC... amid fashion world buzz over Jane Birkin's original $10M Birkin

rocked a black Hermes bag as she joined her husband Jeff Bezos in New York City over the weekend. The new Mrs. Bezos, 55 - who recently enjoyed a night out in Paris with A-list pals such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn - was seen stepping out of a sleek SUV alongside the Amazon tycoon following their extravagant Venice wedding. Her latest excursion comes after it was rumored Sanchez was out bid for the original Birkin bag at a Sotheby's auction in Paris this week. However, a source close to Sánchez-Bezos asserted to PuckNews that she did not participate in the auction. Lauren showed off her figure wearing a pair of black fitted leggings as well as a white workout jacket that was partially zipped up at the front. She slipped into a pair of comfy white sneakers and added a blue printed cap on top of her dark locks which were styled into a ponytail. The former journalist sported a pair of fashionable shades while also carrying an Hermes crocodile Kelly bag in her hand - a model named for the iconic American actress turned princess, Grace Kelly. Her latest excursion comes after it was rumored Sanchez was out bid for the original Birkin bag at a Sotheby's auction in Paris this week, which was later denied Bezos - who has shown off new hair growth after being bald for over 10 years - kept it casual in a pair of blue denim jeans and a short-sleeved, black shirt for the outing. He also opted for a pair of sneakers and held a brown leather bag as they headed towards their next destination. Earlier this week on Thursday, the original Birkin bag - which was first designed for model Jane Birkin in 1984 - was auctioned off at Sotheby's in Paris to a private collector from Japan for a record-breaking $10.1 million. It was reported that celebrities such as Sanchez and Kris Jenner had made calls to place a bid, per Vogue, although it is not confirmed. One source alleged to ARTnews that Lauren had bid anonymously - but a separate insider claimed that she had never bid during the auction. The bidding for the original Birkin - which was made in the color black and had Jane Birkin's initials underneath the handles - began a little over $1 million and lasted for 10 minutes. The previous owner of the bag, who goes by the name of Benier, opened up to Vogue about the sell. 'I am astonished at the result, but, as a passionate collector myself, I am first and foremost profoundly moved by the way other collectors have invested so much fervor in trying to acquire what they clearly desired beyond words...' She slipped into a pair of comfy white sneakers and added a blue printed cap on top of her dark locks which were styled into a ponytail Benier later told the outlet, 'It is very difficult to imagine my life without this Birkin bag, but I am happy.' Late last month in June, Sanchez and Bezos said 'I do' during a lavish three-day wedding extravaganza which took place in the romantic city of Venice. A number of celebrities were in attendance including Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom. Lauren walked down the aisle wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress that was made of an intricate lace overlay with buttons on the front and a corset-styled bodice. The fabric on the gown pooled around the star and a sheer white veil was placed towards the back of her head which flowed down into a long train behind her. And earlier this week, Lauren was spotted joining a few of close pals for a night out in Paris. She put on a busty display wearing a figure-hugging, red leather minidress with a plunging neckline on the front. Sanchez carried a black Birkin bag in her hand and allowed her long locks to cascade down past her shoulders. Along with having a blast with Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn, the former journalist was also joined by model Brooks Nader. However, her new husband Jeff Bezos was notably absent from the night out in France on Tuesday. That same day, the star was seen stepping out to attend the Balenciaga Haute Couture runway show during Paris Fashion Week. She supported stars such as Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian as they modeled pieces during the glitzy event. The beauty jumped to her Instagram stories to give a glimpse at some of the pieces modeled during the show. Lauren later whisked herself away to the Allen and Company Sun Valley Media and Tech Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho on Wednesday - which has been dubbed as the 'summer camp for billionaires.' She was seen strolling next to Bezos as they both made a joint appearance at the star-studded event. Sex And The City alum Candice Bergen, Gayle King, Disney CEO Bob Iger and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan were also guests at the conference. The annual event is held each year during the month of July - and was first launched back in 1983. Sanchez flashed a smile towards Jeff as they held hands while making their way towards The Sun Valley Resort.

Lauren Sanchez's $5 million diamond ring causes UPROAR as fans think it could snap... jewelers reveal the truth

EXCLUSIVE Lauren Sanchez's $5 million diamond ring causes UPROAR as fans think it could snap... jewelers reveal the truth Lauren Sánchez is famous for her flashy jewels, but some fans are in an uproar over her latest sparkler - they think it might be so poorly made that she could easily lose her pricey bauble. The 55-year-old former journalist showed off her first envy-inducing diamond ring back in 2023, after her now-husband Jeff Bezos proposed aboard his $500 million superyacht, Koru. While it's quite sizable, the Amazon founder, 61, hid the ring underneath her pillow after they had a romantic dinner outside to pop the question. The original bling is estimated to be about 30 carats and has been valued between $3 and $5 million. Sánchez revealed in an interview with Vogue that the center stone is a rare pink diamond with a rose tone. However, Sánchez was quick to upgrade her multimillion dollar engagement ring for her actual wedding. During her over-the-top wedding week in Venice, Italy, Sánchez showed off a new dazzler that jewelers previously told the Daily Mail they believe is worth between a mindboggling $1.5 million and $5 million, which is just a drop in the bucket for the billionaire. While the ring surely impressed their slew of celebrity wedding guests, on social media, people quickly called out the design for seemingly being too delicate to support the massive diamond. Now, insiders are exclusively revealing to the Daily Mail whether the oversized diamond from jeweler to the stars Lorraine Schwartz will hold up, or if it's at risk of being lost during Sánchez's next space or yacht excursion. Lauren Sánchez is famous for her flashy jewels, but some fans are in an uproar over her wedding ring (pictured) and think it might be so poorly made that she could lose her pricey bauble Sánchez (pictured) was quick to upgrade her multimillion dollar engagement ring for her actual wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in Venice this June Deena Bassam, the owner of Deena Diamond Designs, shared a viral TikTok declaring, 'A band that thin with a diamond that size... It's an accident waiting to happen,' including a closeup of the jewel. Bassam went on to say in the caption, 'I'm scared.' The Dallas-based jewelry designer explained that 'Your ring should not only fit your aesthetic preferences but also suite your lifestyle.' Sánchez is famously busy, often traveling the world with Bezos on his boat and even venturing to space on his star-studded Blue Origin flight alongside singer Katy Perry. Bassam exclusively told the Daily Mail that she tells her own clients, 'There is no piece of jewelry that is made of precious metals and diamonds or gemstone that is indestructible, no matter how well crafted it is.' When Bassam crafts pieces she always gives 'honest, upfront advice on potential risks' as well as suggesting less risky options for particularly delicate designs. Bassam's commenters were quick to voice their concerns on social media, with many appalled by the sheer size of the diamond and its seemingly wildly delicate band. Many thought the ring could be structurally weakened because of all of the smaller diamonds, putting it at even greater risk. However, it's likely Sánchez doesn't partake in the activities of plebeians, like packing luggage or washing dishes, where she could easily lose a gem. 'They're filthy rich and I'm sure it's insured. If it pops out, she'll get another,' one person mused. 'With their money, it literally doesn't matter if it breaks in like a month and she loses it,' another commenter wrote, as Bezos is said to be worth an estimated $238.8 billion. Deena Bassam, the owner of Deena Diamond Designs, shared a viral TikTok declaring, 'A band that thin with a diamond that size... It's an accident waiting to happen' Gemologist Olivia Landau told the Daily Mail that it's 'typically not recommended to set a diamond (especially in that large of a size) in a band that thin.' 'If the band is too thin... the pave diamonds are more likely to fall out,' Landau, based in New York City, said. Gemologist Olivia Landau (pictured) told the Daily Mail that it's 'typically not recommended to set a diamond (especially in that large of a size) in a band that thin' However, not everyone believes it's an accident waiting to happen. 'Platinum is basically the workhorse of fine jewelry - strong, durable and built to last,' Monil Kothari, CEO and founder of Haus of Brilliance jewelry, told the Daily Mail. Kothari thinks 'the design actually looks smart', because 'it appears to distribute the diamond's weight evenly across the finger, which takes a ton of pressure off the band itself', which is 'not poor craftsmanship'. 'My hot take? It's a gorgeous stone, a beautiful ring, and there's way too much haterade online,' Kothari said. 'Honestly, I find it laughable that people are speculating that the founder of Amazon is sitting around hoping the ring fails so he can collect on an insurance claim. This isn't an amateur hour jewelry job,' Kothari continued. 'Bezos isn't shopping on Alibaba - any professional worth their salt makes sure a ring like this is engineered to last.'

Jeff Bezos looks unrecognizable in throwback photos from his bizarre Star Trek cameo

Newlywed Jeff Bezos may have totally changed up his looks when he started dating now-wife Lauren Sanchez - but during his 2016 Star Trek cameo, you wouldn't even be able to recognize him. Nine years ago, the Amazon tycoon starred in Star Trek Beyond, making an appearance as an alien. The movie was so popular that it was even nominated for an Oscar that year for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Bezos looked like a totally different person, as he was transformed into character, wearing a huge, misshapen alien head with skin that resembled a chicken's and had veins popping out of it in gruesome detail. The face he wore had blue, scaly markings on it, along with a super pointed chin and a flat nose. To top everything off, Bezos wore a pair of bright blue-colored contacts. In the film, Bezos looked so different that viewers would have never guessed it was really him behind the costume. Since he was young, Bezos has been a huge fan of Star Trek. 'You have to understand, when I was in fourth grade, I watched every Star Trek episode and re-runs, many times over and over, they would just repeat them,' Bezos revealed during a sit-down talk at the 2016 Pathfinder Awards at Seattle's Museum of Flight. He recalled loving it so much that he would always play Star Trek with his two friends growing up, Dean and Kyle, who lived down the block from him. As a diehard fan, Bezos explained that he had been 'begging' to be in a Star Trek movie for years. 'For years, I have been begging Paramount, which is owned by Viacom, to let me be in a Star Trek movie,' he shared. 'I was very persistent, and you can imagine, the poor director who got the call, you know, you have to let Jeff Bezos be in your Star Trek movie,' he joked. Bezos was so committed that he had even told them that he would wear any amount of makeup and costume required. However, the Amazon founder did have a few requests - he wanted to have a speaking part, and appear in a scene that was 'critical' to the central story so he wouldn't run the risk of being edited out. 'They honored those requirements, and I have a speaking part, it is two words long, I say, "Speak normally,"' he said during the Pathfinder Awards. He joked that you shouldn't blink during the movie, or else you would miss his appearance. 'It was super fun for me, and it was a bucket list item,' Bezos admitted about the opportunity. But of course, it seems like nothing could compare to him marrying the love of his life, Lauren Sánchez. In late June, t he two tied the knot in Venice, Italy, celebrating with a lavish multi-day extravaganza that featured high-profile guests like Ivanka Trump and Kim Kardashian. Not only did they throw a luxurious wedding, but they also had a foam party on Bezos' $500 million yacht and pajama-themed get-together. Sánchez even graced the cover of Vogue for the occasion, marking her special day with an interview and photo spread in her Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress, which took over 900 hours to make. The cover showed the former journalist with a huge grin on her face as she posed in her white gown, which featured a high neck, lace sleeves and long, trailing veil. 'I'm very happy,' Sánchez told Vogue of her nuptials at the time. 'More than the dress, I'm happy that I'm getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore,' she continued. 'I am the luckiest woman on the planet.' Since the big day, Sánchez has been spotted in Paris at Haute Couture Week, and at Allen & Co.'s annual leadership retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, nicknamed 'billionaire summer camp.' Bezos also attended the retreat, as they were spotted arm-in-arm walking to the week's various events together. On Tuesday night, they were seen having dinner at the AVIV restaurant inside 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami. AVIV specializes in fine Israeli cuisine, with the name meaning 'Spring' in Hebrew. The restaurant is owned by chef Michael Solomonov and renowned restaurateur Steve Cook.

Brooks Nader spills out of extremely plunging see-through dress as she risks wardrobe malfunction on France trip

BROOKS Nader spilled out of an extremely plunging see-through dress as she risked a wardrobe malfunction on a France trip. The 29-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model looked stunning in a strapless gown. 5 5 5 In her Instagram stories, Brooks showed off her fabulous figure in a tonal sheer dress. She also wore sleeked back hair, glowing skin and sparkling accessories as she posed for a few glamourous snaps. She captioned the story with a voiceover that said: "Everything I do is for the bitches. "I have never done anything for the male gaze." Brooks has become familiar with wardrobe malfunctions recently. While at The Daily Front Row's 9th annual fashion awards in April, her braless outfit didn't go fully to plan. Her outfit briefly slipped to expose a nipple while she posed for photographs. However, the malfunction didn't trouble her, and she continued to work the camera while showing off her all-white outfit. She paired the outfit with a large ponytail to complete the sultry look. The high profile event was also attended by pop star Chappell Roan, Tyra Banks and Selma Blair. Brooks Nader & Lauren Sanchez Stun in Paris: Daring Fashion, Glam, and Real-Life Moments More recently, Brooks went braless under a black, see-through pussy-bow blouse on a Paris lunch date with Lauren Sanchez. She put her bare chest on full display as she exited the upscale Laperouse restaurant with a security guard by her side. Brooks paired the bold top with figure-hugging black capri pants, towering stilettos, and a glossy black clutch. She also rocked voluminous wavy hair, glowing skin, and a high-shine lip gloss for the Paris Fashion Week outing. Earlier this month, The U.S. Sun revealed how Brooks 'blindsided' EX-boyfriend Gleb Savchenko with an abrupt breakup as 'revenge' for him dumping her last year. The lovebirds, who met as partners in the dance competition last Summer, have had a tumultuous relationship that ended as suddenly as it began. Gleb, 41, revealed that he learned about his apparent breakup through reports, and Brooks, 29, did not seem to give him a heads-up before the news went public. "Brooks was done with the relationship and I think she just wanted to get her lick back,' an insider claimed. 5 5
