The newlyweds were captured leaving their hotel via a water taxi, with Lauren Sánchez elegantly dressed in a white minidress accessorized with a wide-brim hat, kitten heels, and sunglasses, carrying a chic snakeskin Hermès Birkin bag. Jeff Bezos opted for a more casual look, wearing grey pants, a navy T-shirt, and stylish sunglasses to shield his eyes from the Italian sun during their departure. The couple’s departure marked the end of their wedding celebrations, which culminated in a star-studded guest list treated to a pajama-themed party that lasted until the early hours.
According to an exclusive source, the festive event was a sight to behold, with guests adorned in silk robes and slippers dancing the night away to performances by Usher and DJ Cassidy. Notable names such as Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kris Jenner, and Cory Gamble graced the dance floor, creating an “epic” ambiance that delighted everyone in attendance. Prior to the lively pajama party, the couple had exchanged their vows surrounded by about 200 guests, with Lauren Sánchez’s children playing significant roles in the ceremony.
Lauren Sánchez’s sons, Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19, escorted her down the aisle, while her daughter, Ella, 17, served as the maid of honor. In a heartwarming gesture, Lauren Sánchez embraced her new marital status by changing her Instagram handle and bio to “Lauren Sánchez Bezos” shortly after the ceremony. The couple’s romantic journey was immortalized in a wedding photograph shared by Lauren Sánchez captioned with the date of their special day, “06/27/2025 ♥️.”
Soon after, Vogue released an in-depth cover story detailing the intricacies of Lauren Sánchez’s dream wedding dress, designed by Domenico Dolce of Dolce & Gabbana.
