Fashion Faux Pas: The Most Unforgettable Looks from the Bezos-Sanchez Wedding

Bow-tie fail! Bill Gates arrived to the big day on Friday as he left the St. Regis hotel wearing a bowtie that was much too big and oversized. It was so large that it almost looked like a bow that you would put in your hair! He paired it with a sleek black suit and a white button-down shirt

Wedding of the Year: Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos Tie the Knot in Lavish Venice Ceremony

The wait is finally over! The most anticipated wedding of the year has arrived, as Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos exchanges vows with his stunning bride-to-be, Lauren Sanchez, in a fairytale-like setting in Venice, Italy. And what a spectacle it's been so far!

As we reported earlier, the power couple has spared no expense in renting out multiple venues across the city to accommodate their A-list guest list, which includes the likes of Ivanka Trump, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, and Orlando Bloom. But as the big day approached, whispers of discontent began to circulate among locals.

Too much! Ahead of the big day, Kris Jenner and her daughter, Khloe Kardashian, were seen hitting the shops in Venice in a long-sleeve, leopard-print gown

It seems that Bezos' decision to "take over" Venice has left a sour taste in the mouths of many Venetians. Protests erupted on the streets, with anti-capitalist activists waving placards and holding signs that read, "We are the 99 percent... we have the power." One particularly feisty activist was seen attempting to climb a post while brandishing an extinction rebellion flag. It's safe to say that not everyone in Venice is thrilled about Bezos' lavish nuptials.

But let's get back to the fashion – because, darling, this wedding has been serving up some serious style inspiration! Lauren Sanchez stunned in a curve-hugging corset dress from Schiaparelli's 2025 couture collection at the welcome party on Thursday evening. And Jeff Bezos? He rocked a sleek gray suit and those cool Dior sunglasses.

However, not everyone was dressed to impress. Kris Jenner, mother of Khloé Kardashian, turned up in a rather... eye-catching leopard print frock that seemed more suited to a safari adventure than a Venetian wedding. Her daughter kept it simple (albeit boring) in a plain black dress and Chanel flip flops.

Weather confused?! Bill Gates and his partner Paula Hurd explored Venice Thursday, as he kept things very simple in a pair of long black shorts and matching polo t-shirt

Meanwhile, billionaire Bill Gates looked utterly out of place in the sweltering Venice heat, donning an all-black outfit complete with long shorts, a polo shirt, and a navy blue cap. His partner, Paula Hurd, opted for a sleeveless tank dress that seemed to be screaming for attention, paired with a seriously big diamond necklace.

But the real fashion offenders were Vittoria Ceretti, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, who rocked a vintage Betsey Johnson white dress adorned with giant gray and red floral motifs. And Lydia Kives, married to Canadian investor Michael Kives, wore an orange dress covered in blue butterflies – yes, you read that right.

As the big day approaches, one can't help but wonder what other surprises this wedding will bring. Will it be a fairytale-like romp through Venice's canals and historic landmarks? Or will it be a lavish party fit for the stars?

So 2000 and late! Vittoria Ceretti, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, looked straight out of an early 2000's magazine as she wore a white dress with large gray and red floral motifs on it
