Diane von Furstenberg Sails Solo to Venice: A New Chapter After Husband's Revelation
VENETIAN VIXEN
The Queen of Prints, Diane von Furstenberg, has arrived solo in Venice, Italy, for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding extravaganza! And by "solo," we mean very much alone – without her hubby Barry Diller, who just a month ago dropped the bombshell that he's gay!
As our cameras captured, the 78-year-old fashion icon stepped off the plane in Venice, flanked by an airport security guard. Her husband of 24 years? Nowhere to be seen! It's like they're trying to erase their very existence from each other's lives.
But don't get it twisted – Barry Diller is still reeling from his recent revelation in New York magazine. The media mogul, who once headed Fox and Paramount, spilled the beans about his sexuality, describing his early romance with Diane as a "ferocious love." Talk about a wild ride!
Fast-forward to this week, and Diane's looking more fabulous than ever, rocking a bright blue pantsuit adorned with pink and green stripes (because, of course, it's from her own brand!). The ensemble may have originally cost an arm and a leg, but hey, that $518 jacket is already reselling like hotcakes online!
As she made her way to the awaiting water taxi, Diane seemed in high spirits, stopping to snap a selfie with Venice as her backdrop. And who wouldn't? This city of canals is the perfect setting for a fairytale wedding – especially when Jeff and Lauren are involved.
The Amazon founder and his former journalist girlfriend have reportedly rented out San Giorgio Maggiore island for six days, making it off-limits to visitors from June 24 to June 29. Talk about an exclusive invite-only party!
But back to Diane – what's really got us buzzing is her take on Barry's recent coming-out. In a candid interview with The Times, she revealed that while many may have speculated about his sexuality over the years, it wasn't a secret to her. "He's been private all his life," she said, "but not with me. So for me, it doesn't feel strange."
As we know, Barry and Diane have had an on-again, off-again relationship spanning decades before they finally tied the knot in 2001. And let's just say their early passion was something else – they were once caught getting cozy by none other than billionaire music mogul David Geffen during a visit to his pad in the '70s!
So, will Diane be donning a stunning wedding guest outfit for Jeff and Lauren's big day? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: this Venice wedding is going to be EPIC – and we can't wait to dish all about it on thescholarlynote.com!
