Lauren Sanchez was said to be living her ‘1950s Italian Riviera’ dream, inspired by vintage film stars, according to a fashion expert. On the day of her $20 million wedding to Jeff Bezos in Venice, the 55-year-old former journalist was seen walking along a bridge on San Giorgio Maggiore island, wearing a chic white headscarf.
She looked elegant and graceful in her second bridal outfit, featuring an ivory tailored peacoat with black buttons and a matching skirt.
Lauren completed her stylish look with a printed headscarf elegantly wrapped around her chocolate caramel hair, classic black Celine sunglasses, and a black crocodile-print handbag. This ensemble echoed the sophisticated style of vintage film icons like Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Jackie O.
Stylist Lisa Talbot praised Lauren’s outfit, saying she was “radiating timeless elegance” ahead of her wedding to Jeff Bezos. Talbot described the look as a striking style statement full of vintage glamour, inspired by the classic 1950s Italian Riviera. Lauren’s ivory short-sleeved jacket, featuring a sculpted waist, structured shoulders, and oversized buttons, added polish while keeping a minimalist silhouette.
he fabric of Lauren Sanchez’s outfit featured a clean, structured finish that gave it a tailored sharpness, with a subtle peplum hem that flattered her figure and added a feminine touch.
Stylist Lisa Talbot said Lauren’s choice of a sheer white headscarf, tied under the chin, paired with oversized designer sunglasses, perfectly captured the iconic style of Jackie O and Sophia Loren. The scarf, draped over her brunette waves and gently blowing in the breeze, added softness and a romantic, mysterious vibe.
Talbot praised Lauren’s look for balancing modern sophistication with classic screen siren glamour. The cream color was a tasteful nod to bridal wear—elegant but not overpowering, keeping the focus on her.
Lauren was filmed leaving the luxurious Aman hotel and heading to San Giorgio Maggiore island to marry Jeff Bezos. She blew kisses to photographers and fans as she boarded a water taxi to her wedding venue.
Meanwhile, famous guests including Orlando Bloom, Usher, Sydney Sweeney, and the Kardashians were seen sightseeing in Venice just hours before the ceremony.
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White told MailOnline that Lauren Sanchez seems to be treating her wedding like a mini fashion show, showcasing her style with different standout looks throughout the day.
She suggested that this particular outfit might be Lauren’s fourth look, describing it as more muted and chic compared to her previous bold choices, with sleek tailoring and a monochrome palette.
White said the look channels old-school glamour from the 1940s and 1950s, evoking icons like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. She sees it as a carefully curated moment that still reflects Lauren’s personality while paying tribute to the classy European Riviera style.
Lauren was also spotted wearing two dazzling rings and a bracelet engraved with “LB” on her wrist, possibly marking her new initials as Lauren Bezos.
One of the rings Lauren Sanchez is wearing is likely the stunning 30-carat cushion-cut diamond engagement ring with a platinum band that Jeff Bezos gave her two years ago.
This incredible ring, estimated to be worth between $3 million and $5 million, was presented to Lauren in May 2023 while the couple were sailing across the Mediterranean on the maiden voyage of Bezos’s superyacht.
In a November 2023 interview with Vogue, Lauren shared that they had enjoyed dinner before the proposal, with Jeff secretly hiding the ring under her pillow.
Lauren Sanchez described the moment Jeff Bezos proposed, saying, “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” to Vogue.
The couple is set to marry on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, home to 11 small chapels nestled within private gardens. These exclusive spaces have been closed to the public for several days and are often rented by the super-rich.
The historic gardens feature a 128-meter private library and a maze, both normally bustling with tourists at this time of year.
In preparation for the wedding, gardeners, builders, and electricians have been busy perfecting the details. Around 30 ex-marine security personnel are patrolling the island, likely ensuring the safety and smooth arrival of the 200 guests expected for the ceremony.
Yesterday, Lauren Sanchez turned heads wearing a dazzling $100,000 pre-wedding gown described as “a performance piece.” Industry insiders told FEMAIL the striking corset dress is from Schiaparelli’s 2025 couture collection, designed by Daniel Roseberry and named “Icarus.”
The figure-hugging gown featured intricate embroidery of swirling vines and florals in blue, green, and gold tones set against a champagne-colored fabric.
Celebrity stylist Rochelle White said the dress reflects Lauren’s “unapologetic and extravagant” personality. She explained it was bold and daring—not subtle or muted—and seemed designed to captivate attention as a teaser for what’s to come.
White added that the piece gives off high fashion vibes with excellent craftsmanship and elegance, but also predicted it might split opinions in the fashion community, with some loving it and others not as much.
