Katie Couric has offered her insightful take on Lauren Sánchez's wedding ensemble, captivating the fashion world's attention. The esteemed former co-host of Today weighed in on the custom Dolce & Gabbana gown worn by the Blue Origin space flight crew member during her June 27th nuptials to Jeff Bezos. Sánchez showcased the stunning gown in a Vogue cover photo unveiled shortly after the ceremony.
"Welcome to the glory days of the eighties, where voluminous hair and flamboyant indulgence reigned supreme," Katie commented on Jack Schlossberg's Instagram post featuring the captivating image. "It seems tackiness has made a triumphant return," she added.
Jack, the grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy, appeared to resonate with Couric's observation, responding with, "Let's bring back scrunchies and relive those fabulous times!"
As for Lauren, 55, she revealed to the fashion magazine that her vision for her wedding dress was to encapsulate "a moment in time." She elaborated, "I delved into pictures of brides from the 1950s, seeking inspiration. Sophia Loren caught my eye, adorned in an elegant high lace gown that extended up to her neck. I knew instantly, 'That's the dress for me!'"
However, more than anything, Lauren desired her gown to mirror her true self. "Therapy has been a transformative journey for me, shaping me in numerous ways. But above all, it's Jeff who has allowed me to embrace my freedom unapologetically," she shared, crediting the Amazon founder for his unwavering support.
Meanwhile, the lavish festivities held in the enchanting city of Venice, Italy, garnered criticism from local residents concerned about overtourism in the region. Celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, and Orlando Bloom graced the event, drawing massive publicity. Jenna Bush Hager, acknowledging the criticism, expressed that the public spectacle surrounding the wedding would deter her from such a grand affair.
"It's a very public event," she remarked during the June 26th episode of Jenna & Friends. "There are protests in Venice, which personally, I would dread." Jenna recalled her own wedding to Henry Hager in 2008, a modest and intimate ceremony held in her parents' backyard in Texas. "We kept it simple, inviting only our loved ones to share in our special day," she reminisced fondly.
