For Date Night in Portofino, Lauren Sánchez Opts for Roberto Cavalli
Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos have been making the most of their pre-nuptials partydom, with a tour of Europe, its glitziest events, and most romantic destinations. Things kicked off with Sánchez's Paris-set bachelorette party, where she was joined by the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria. With a boat party on the Seine, luxe shopping stop-offs, and cocktails on the rooftop of the Cheval Blanc hotel, the dress code erred less tiaras and novelty bachelorette shirts and more clingy gowns, sheer skirts, and corsets. Then Sánchez kept the party going by heading down to Cannes Film Festival with Longoria, attending the Global Gift Gala where Longoria presented Sánchez with the Women Empowerment Award. Both Sánchez and Longoria slipped into the expected glamorous gowns, with Sánchez in a glittering, black and sweetheart-necklined Dolce & Gabbana number. Next, she reunited with husband-to-be Jeff Bezos for the annual amfAR Gala, wearing a mermaid-esque, sequinned Roberto Cavalli strapless gown straight from the Lauren Sánchez school of style. And a short PJ or yacht ride brought both Sánchez and Bezos to Monaco over the weekend for the 2025 Grand Prix; the glam looks made it to the pit lane, too. Photo: KCS Presse / MEGA Now, they've swapped the French Riviera for the beloved Italian fishing village of Portofino. Sánchez and Bezos were photographed yesterday evening (May 28) stepping out for dinner at Ristorante Puny, accompanied by her son Nikko Gonzalez. Settled on the storied piazzetta, the elegant restaurant is known for its regional specialties like its basil pesto, prawn pappardelle, and fish baked in salt crust—often, enjoyed by celebrities straight from their yachts and locals alike. She opted for an Italy-appropriate dress: A pink, burnt orange, and gold animal print Roberto Cavalli slip dress with a plunging neckline and flowing skirt. She paired it with a pair of gold open-toed sandals. and a matching box clutch bag, a denim jacket slung more casually over her shoulder. She wore her dark brown hair in her usual long, blown-out style. Bezos, meanwhile, kept it casual in a pink, open-necked polo shirt, blue trousers, and black and white sneakers. After dinner, they returned to their yacht parked in the harbour. Sánchez's holiday wardrobe has consisted of Oscar de la Renta gowns, tight corsetry, and super-feminine silhouettes. While she has a few weeks left to enjoy yacht life, what we continue to see is probably a good indicator of what her bridal gown will look like.

NATURAL DIAMONDS SHINE BRIGHT AT THE AMFAR GALA CANNES 2025
A Diamond is Forever Reports Jewelry Trends at the amfAR Gala Cannes 2025 NEW YORK, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 31st annual amfAR Gala following the 2025 Cannes Film Festival took place on May 22nd at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, setting the backdrop for A-list celebrities and tastemakers to support AIDS research while showcasing the most classic, refined and distinctive diamond jewelry looks of the festival. Below, we highlight the standout trends from the event. Closely Cropped Diamond Necklaces Closely cropped natural diamond necklaces—such as collars and chokers—emerged as standout favorites this season. Veteran actress Teri Hatcher made a bold statement with a diamond and pearl collar necklace featuring a drop diamond, contrasted against a black velvet gown that allowed the piece to shine. Later in the evening, she turned heads during a runway show celebrating her role as a Bond girl in the James Bond franchise, wearing a Chopard chandelier necklace with a different black gown. Singer Ciara also embraced the collar necklace trend, making a diamond piece the focal point of her look by layering it over a high-necked gown. Later in the evening, she took the stage to perform, wearing Messika High Jewelry's Divine Enigma necklace which featured a stunning 12-carat yellow cushion-cut diamond. Model Pritika Swarup added a refined touch to her look with a teardrop diamond choker by Boucheron. Meanwhile, Emma Thynn, Marchioness of Bath, attended the event alongside Chopard's Co-President and Artistic Director, Caroline Scheufele, wearing a large Chopard diamond choker adorned with an array of dazzling stones. Cuff, Bangles and other Bracelets Many notable attendees at the 2025 amfAR Gala red carpet opted for embellished gowns, complementing them with more understated natural diamond jewelry — such as cuffs and bangles — to create a balanced and elegant look. Actress Taraji P. Henson embraced this trend, pairing her ornate gown with a striking diamond cuff bracelet. Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay made a refined choice by forgoing a necklace with her embellished halter gown, instead wearing a Pomellato Iconica Collection bracelet in rose gold and white diamonds. Model Pritika Swarup coordinated her look with a diamond teardrop bracelet from Boucheron, echoing the design of her natural diamond necklace. Drop Earrings Drawing attention to the face, many tastemakers at the event embraced statement drop earrings as a focal point of their red carpet looks. Model Coco Rocha wore a striking pair of Akillis earrings in 18-carat white gold and white diamonds from the brand's Capture Me collection. Taraji P. Henson chose to make a bolder statement with her earring choices, opting for a single long drop earring and embracing an asymmetrical style—one of the evening's standout trends. Model Leonie Hanne opted for an elongated pair of diamond drop earrings to complement her embellished halter gown, reinforcing the popular "no necklace" trend. Content creator Lena Mahfouf turned heads with an eye-catching pair of Chopard diamond earrings, which she paired with a statement necklace featuring a large colored gemstone. During the runway show, Teri Hatcher coordinated her Chopard diamond necklace with a matching pair of earrings from the brand. Mariska Hargitay completed her look with rose gold earrings adorned with white and brown diamonds from Pomellato's Fantina collection. Statement Rings While many attendees favored more understated jewelry choices at the event, statement natural diamond rings offered a subtle yet captivating way to stand out. Ciara wore a striking 13-carat Toi & Moi ring by Messika High Jewelry, featuring a 5-carat pear-shaped diamond paired with a 7-carat heart-shaped pink diamond. Mariska Hargitay completed her Pomellato jewelry with the brand's Catene Collection knot ring, adding a bold finishing touch. Pritika Swarup rounded out her cohesive Boucheron look with a substantial diamond ring that perfectly complemented her teardrop bracelet and matching necklace. Other Notable Trends One of the most eye-catching jewelry moments of the night came from actor Colman Domingo, who wore Boucheron's Nuri, le Perroquet earring — an intricate piece set with yellow beryl, pink tourmaline, garnets, onyx, and diamonds, designed to resemble a parrot with amazing details. Football star Odell Beckham Jr. opted for a subtler yet equally captivating look with a two-strand diamond necklace. Filmmaker Spike Lee wore a diamond pendant from Boucheron, complementing his wife Tanya Lee, who turned heads in a bold Y-shaped necklace paired with diamond hoops, both also from Boucheron. Oscar winner Adrien Brody, known for his brooches, lived up to his reputation by accessorizing his Tom Ford suit with a diamond brooch from FRED Paris.

Lauren Sánchez and Leonardo DiCaprio's awkward moment at amfAR Gala sparks viral reactions again
Lauren Sánchez, fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and actor Leonardo DiCaprio have once again found themselves at the center of attention after an awkward encounter at the 2025 amfAR Gala. This comes after a similar moment in 2021 at the LACMA Gala, which had already gone viral for its awkwardness. At the latest event, a video surfaced showing DiCaprio approaching the couple at their table. As he leaned in, Sánchez appeared to go in for a kiss on his cheek, but stopped just shy of making contact, while DiCaprio placed his hands on both their arms in a seemingly playful group hug. This moment quickly sparked comparisons to their previous interaction, where Sánchez appeared unusually close to DiCaprio while Bezos seemed oblivious to the tension. Fans wasted no time in commenting on the body language between the two, with one Instagram user remarking, 'Body language is screaming. Even billionaires love Leo!' The video gained traction online, echoing the viral reaction from the LACMA Gala, where the interaction was branded as awkward. This wasn't the first time the internet had reacted to the pair's interactions. After the 2021 video went viral, Bezos responded humorously on social media. He posted a photo of himself next to a sign that read, "Danger! Steep Cliff. Fatal Drop," with a caption jokingly inviting DiCaprio to 'come over here, I want to show you something.' Bezos's witty response sparked even more playful comments from fans, further fueling the viral sensation.

GRAZIA Exclusive: Get Ready With Chris Appleton, Inside His First amfAR Gala Cannes in Tom Ford
Few names are as synonymous with red carpet glam as Chris Appleton. Known for creating era-defining hairstyles for the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, and Dua Lipa, Appleton has long commanded the spotlight behind the scenes. But this year, the visionary stylist stepped into it — making his first appearance at the 2025 amfAR Gala Cannes, one of the most prestigious evenings during the Cannes Film Festival, which raises funds for life-saving AIDS research. Dressed in Tom Ford, Appleton gave GRAZIA USA exclusive access to his Get Ready With Me routine, walking us through each step — flawless skin, signature hair, and every finishing touch in between. Below, we follow Appleton through his night, from the calm before the glam to that final red carpet moment. This unforgettable night marks a new chapter for Appleton — one not just defined by the artistry he brings to others, but the confidence and story he's owning for himself. GRWM Chris Appleton x GRAZIA USA : amfAR Gala Cannes 2025 Setting the Scene Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: Let's set the scene. What was the vibe like getting ready for the amfAR Gala at Cannes? How did you spend the day leading up to the event? CHRIS APPLETON: I had a great workout session; I have jetlag from traveling a lot, it's a great way to get the blood flowing. I took a dip in the ocean for a bit of cardio. I received a red carpet facial from Nilam Holmes and just tried to take in Cannes because it's been a few years since I have been here. Details Make the Look Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: You're wearing Tom Ford tonight — what drew you to this look, and how would you describe the overall vibe you were going for? APPLETON: amFAR is such a big red carpet; it felt very classic and timeless. It's very old Hollywood-esque and I wanted to fit the vibe. I wanted to look back on these pics and feel like it was a classic look that's very me. I added details with these diamond cufflinks by Tom Ford. Grooming Essentials Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: Walk us through your GRWM routine — any signature skincare or grooming steps you never skip before a red carpet? APPLETON: I love a good face mask like the LaMer face mask sheet; it tingles to wake skin up. I use my Dr. Diamond Metacin and LaMer moisturizer, and love the Upneeq Eye Drops to open up the eyes. I did have a pimple this morning, so my pimple patches came in clutch. The Signature Hair Moment Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: We know hair is your specialty — how did you approach your own hair styling for the Gala? Did you do it yourself or trust someone else with the finishing touch? APPLETON: For my hair, I do it myself. I know the little tricks to make it look the way I want. I wanted my look to be signature Chris Appleton, which tends to be more platinum, but I wanted to be more natural, so I did a low-light blonde. Style in Motion Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: What's the one grooming product or hair tool that's an absolute must for your red carpet prep and why? APPLETON: I always use my Color Wow Dream Coat because it won't let the moisture in to keep my hair from going flat. The Final Touches Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: There's always a moment where everything comes together — suit on, hair done, cologne spritzed. What was that final moment of transformation like for you today? APPLETON: For me, the last finishing touches are the last spray of the hair. After that, everything feels like it goes back to place. Confidence on the Carpet CAP D'ANTIBES, FRANCE – MAY 22: Chris Appleton attends the amfAR gala Cannes 2025 presented by Chopard at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 22, 2025 in Cap d'Antibes, France.

I am just grateful to be there, and it's exciting.

(Photo by Ryan Emberley/amfAR/amfAR via Getty Images); Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: From styling celebs to being one yourself, what has this journey taught you about confidence, beauty, and owning your space? APPLETON: I think there are so many times that I have felt like I have been put in a box. I get the 'You are just a hairstylist,' often. But I have always pushed, if someone says no, if I can't go in the front door, I will take the side door. I have never taken no for an answer, and don't think you are going to get a yes. And most times, you won't get a yes. The Big Moment Photo courtesy of Chris Appleton GRAZIA: The amfAR Gala is such a powerful night for fashion and philanthropy. What does attending this event mean to you personally and professionally? APPLETON: Attending this event is an evolution of me and my career, and really rewarding to be attending such a special event, showing how far I have come. About the amfAR Gala Cannes Since 1993, the amfAR Gala Cannes has been a cornerstone of the Cannes Film Festival, drawing celebrities, philanthropists, and fashion leaders together for a night of live auctions, performances, and red carpet moments — all in the name of advancing HIV/AIDS research globally. The 2025 edition brought together stars from across the world, continuing the tradition of glamor paired with a powerful purpose.
