Lauren Sánchez Marries Jeff Bezos in Stunning Venice Wedding with Elegant Dolce & Gabbana Gown

Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos exchanged vows in a breathtaking ceremony on June 27, 2025, at Venice’s San Giorgio Maggiore, surrounded by a constellation of A-list guests. The former journalist, now officially Lauren Sánchez Bezos on Instagram, stunned in a Dolce & Gabbana mermaid-style lace gown, a nod to Sophia Loren’s elegance in the 1958 film Houseboat. The high-neck, sheer-sleeved dress marked a departure from Sánchez’s typically bold style, embracing timeless grace. She told Vogue, “It’s a departure from what people expect, but it’s very much me.”

The intimate wedding, with 70 of the 200 guests being family, radiated personal touches. Sánchez’s sons, Nikko and Evan, walked her down the aisle, while her daughter, Ella, served as maid of honor, delivering a heartfelt reading. All three children, from her previous marriage to Patrick Whitesell, donned Dolce & Gabbana. The event skipped some traditional wedding rituals, reflecting Sánchez’s modern outlook at 55. A poignant nod to her Blue Origin space flight—described as a life-altering experience—came via a secret souvenir she brought back for Bezos, symbolizing their shared journey.

Sánchez’s transformation shines through in her words about Bezos: “He hasn’t changed me. He’s revealed me.” Their bond, rooted in mutual adoration, was palpable. To prepare, Sánchez shed a few pounds, cutting alcohol and salt, while maintaining her and Bezos’s daily ritual of coffee, conversation, and workouts. “I’m the luckiest woman on the planet,” she beamed, celebrating a union with her best friend.
