The wedding festivities of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez have officially kicked off in Venice, with the couple expected to tie the knot over the weekend in the presence of high-profile and celebrity guests, including members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and many others.

On Thursday evening, Lauren Sánchez made a dazzling entrance at the welcome dinner for the guests. For the event, she wore a luxurious off-the-shoulder satin gown, part of Schiaparelli’s Spring-Summer 2025 haute couture collection titled “Icarus.” The collection draws inspiration from the myth of Icarus and Daedalus.

The gown was adorned with embroidered floral motifs in shimmering shades of blue, green, and gold on a champagne-colored base. While the exact price of the dress hasn’t been disclosed, it’s assumed to be extremely costly—especially given that the wedding itself is estimated to cost over $20 million.

The most striking feature of the dress was the heavily sculpted golden bodice at its center, forming a corset-like structure that cinched Sánchez’s waist. The fit was so tight that Jeff Bezos had to hold her hand to help her board the boat that transported them to the dinner venue, located next to the Madonna dell’Orto church.

Lauren completed her look with gold heels and styled her hair in a high ponytail, leaving a few strands loose to frame her face. Her appearance was further elevated by her large diamond earrings.

Given the nature of the wedding celebrations and the glamorous guest list, it is expected that Sánchez will debut many more stunning outfits throughout the weekend. According to sources cited by the Daily Mail, she is expected to wear 27 different looks during the course of the celebration.
