The wedding fashion extravaganza rolls on in Italy with heightened anticipation. On the fateful Friday, the nuptial knots will be tied in the romantic canals of Venice, as Amazon's visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, and the esteemed American journalist, Lauren Sánchez, exchange vows amidst a star-studded gathering. The Kardashian-Jenner dynasty, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and an array of other celebrities have already descended upon the city to bear witness to this grand celebration.
Now, the blushing bride-to-be has made her grand entrance at her welcome party, donning none other than a stunning gown from the prestigious Schiaparelli couture house. Sánchez, formerly of 'Extra,' stepped gracefully onto a luxurious boat with her fiancé, ready to indulge in a pre-wedding feast with their guests at the historic Madonna dell’Orto church.
For this chic soirée, Sánchez opted for a breathtaking off-the-shoulder dress from Schiaparelli's Spring 2025 couture collection, masterminded by Daniel Roseberry and aptly titled “Icarus.” The dress boasted a dramatic, folded neckline that mirrored the skin-hugging midi skirt, both adorned with intricate embroidery of swirling vines, florals, and enigmatic eyes—all in mesmerizing shades of iridescent blue, green, and gold against a champagne-hued fabric.
Yet, it was the contrasting waist that truly stole the spotlight. The ribbed midsection featured a tightly wound swirl of gold material, cinching Sánchez’s figure like a delicate thread around a spool. In fact, the corset-style wrapping was so snug that the bride required the steady support of her future spouse as she embarked on their water taxi.
To complement her captivating ensemble, the author of 'The Fly Who Flew to Space' slipped into a pair of matching metallic gold heels. For her glamorous finish, Sánchez pulled her hair into a sleek high ponytail, with a few tendrils cascading like velvet curtains across her face—a look that accentuated her dazzling diamond earrings.
Judging by the opulence of these nuptials, this surely marks just the beginning of Sánchez's red carpet designer looks during her wedding festivities.
