Everything we know about Lauren Sánchez Bezos’s Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress
The bride opted for a Dolce & Gabbana design, featuring a high neck, long lace sleeves, and 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons straight down the center. Earlier in the day, Sánchez appeared leaving the Aman Hotel ahead of her lavish wedding ceremony clad in a cream, two-piece suit, sunglasses, and a chic headscarf. She didn’t wear the 20-carat, $2.5 million pink diamond ring that Bezos proposed with on the big day, but the bride did wear Dolce and Gabbano Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings — her “something borrowed” — described by Vogue as “four diamonds cut from a single stone and inlaid in white gold.” She had two additional looks for the Friday night celebration, including a sweetheart neck, corseted gown and then an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress.

Sánchez shared a first look on her Instagram — after scrubbing her profile and changing her name to include Bezos — shortly before Vogue shared more photos and details from the design process.
The bride opted for a Dolce & Gabbana design, featuring a high neck, long lace sleeves, and 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons straight down the center.
Of her inspiration for the look, she told Vogue: “I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s. I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were [in a prayer position] and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress.’”
She claimed it’s the most covered up she’s ever been across her chest, calling it “a departure from what people expect.”
Bezos wanted to see the gown before the big day.
“I almost gave in!” she told the publication. “But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can’t wait to see his face.”
Sánchez wanted a “very classic and elegant wedding,” Stefano Gabbana told Vogue.
“She didn’t want to do something very flashing or bling bling.”

“This is a good look for her! She should lean into this type of style,” someone else chimed in.
“Much better than what she wore yesterday,” another shared.
“Wow what a huge improvement,” someone else wrote.

Protesters flood Venice’s streets during Amazon founder Bezos’s wedding
Protesters marched through Venice to say ‘no’ to Jeff Bezos’s wedding. They held banners that read ‘Kisses Yes, Bezos No’ and ‘No Bezos, no War’ The world’s fourth-richest man got married in a private ceremony on Friday. Residents have protested over over-tourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding in Venice. Bezos donated $1.17m each to three environmental research organisations working to preserve Venice.
Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice to say “no” to Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos’s wedding on its third day of a multimillion-dollar celebration.
The world’s fourth-richest man, Bezos, and his bride, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, got married in a private ceremony on Friday with about 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio.
But before the final party on Saturday evening as part of a three-day wedding event, protesters filled Venice’s central streets and held banners that read “Kisses Yes, Bezos No” and “No Bezos, no War”.
Another poster read: “The planet is burning, but don’t worry, here’s the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sanchez.”
For the past few days, residents have protested across the city over what they have said is anger as Venice suffers from over-tourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding.
Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators, said they were here to “continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people … while the conditions of this city remain precarious”.
According to the Venetian Environmental Research Association, Bezos donated 1 million euros ($1.17m) each to three environmental research organisations working to preserve Venice.
Flavio Cogo, a resident who also joined Saturday’s protest, said they want a “free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens”.
“Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos’ conscience,” Cogo said.
Venetian businesses and political leaders welcomed the wedding, despite the protests, and hailed it as a significant economic boost.

Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said those protesting were “in contradiction with the history of Venice, which is a history of relations, contacts and business”.
“Bezos embodies the Venetian mentality. He is more Venetian than the protesters,” said the centre-right mayor, adding that he hoped Bezos would return to the city to do business.
‘No space for Bezos’: Hundreds protest against billionaire’s wedding on final day of Venice celebrations
Hundreds of people filled the streets and waterways of Venice to protest against the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The Amazon founder, 61, and his bride, 55, got married in a private ceremony on the secluded island of San Giorgio on Friday. Couple’s nuptials, estimated to have cost between £34m and £41m, took over multiple venues throughout the city. The newlyweds stayed in the luxury Aman hotel on the Grand Canal, where rooms cost £3,400 a night, while the 200 guests took over other luxury accommodation, complete with their entourage and security teams.

Throughout the weekend, activists came out against the wedding, which they say is adding to chronic problems of overtourism, climate change-induced flooding, and spiralling costs for locals.
On Saturday, demonstrators were seen clutching placards that read: “Kisses yes, Bezos no”, “No Bezos, no war”, and “118,000 Italian shops killed by Amazon”.
Others gathered on the city’s famous Rialto Bridge, where they draped a banner that read: “No space for Bezos”.

Italy’s tourism ministry said yesterday it carried out a study estimating the overall economic impact of the wedding at €957 million, including an 896 million euro benefit from “media visibility”.
The rest would come from direct or indirect spending related to the event, such as €28.4 million for hotel and location expenses and €17.6 million for transportation and other service expenses.
