The grand wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have officially taken over Venice, Italy, with global celebrities in attendance and luxury on full display.
A-list guests such as Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Ivanka Trump were spotted arriving for the multi-day festivities, which are being hosted in one of the world’s most romantic cities. Kim was joined by sister Khloe and mother Kris Jenner, and they were later seen chatting with actor Orlando Bloom, according to CNN.
Ivanka Trump, along with husband Jared Kushner and their children, had already settled into the city ahead of the ceremony. She shared a glimpse of her Venetian suite labeled Dolce Vita, writing, “Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends.”
Lauren Sanchez, who is known for her bold fashion choices, was seen stepping out in a vintage one-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown via a luxury water taxi, setting the tone for a series of high-fashion moments expected throughout the event.
The wedding, likely to take place on Friday, June 27, marks the culmination of a high-profile romance that began in 2019, shortly after Bezos’ divorce from MacKenzie Scott. The couple got engaged in May 2023 and planned a lavish celebration spanning June 26–28.
Sanchez, a former news anchor and helicopter pilot, shares two children with ex-husband and talent agent Patrick Whitesell and has a third child with NFL player Tony Gonzalez.
