Katie Couric's Wedding-Day Roast: Jeff Bezos' Bride Criticized for 'Tacky' Style
SCANDALOUS WEDDING EXTRAVAGANZA: JEFF BEZOS' NEW BRIDE LAUREN SÁNCHEZ GETS ROASTED BY KATIE COURIC ON HER WEDDING DAY!
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, media mogul Katie Couric sparked a frenzy on social media when she unleashed a scathing comment about Jeff Bezos' new bride Lauren Sánchez on their wedding day. The drama unfolded when Couric took aim at Sánchez's over-the-top wedding dress and lavish celebration in Venice, Italy.
The 68-year-old TV legend appeared to take issue with the opulence of the $20 million extravaganza, which saw over 200 A-list guests descend upon the San Giorgio Maggiore island. Couric's sharp-tongued remark accused Sánchez of being "tacky," sending shockwaves through the online community.
The controversy began when writer Jack Schlossberg, nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr. and daughter of Caroline Kennedy, poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez's wedding celebration by reposting a Vogue cover featuring the 55-year-old journalist in her stunning white lace wedding gown. Couric seized the opportunity to deliver her zinger, stating: "Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back."
Schlossberg cleverly played off Couric's comment by suggesting they bring back scrunchies, leaving fans in stitches. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising Couric for speaking her mind.
Other Instagram users couldn't get enough of the catty commentary, with one enthusiastic fan exclaiming: "I love this side of Katie Couric!" Another gushed: "Love you" accompanied by a string of tears-of-laughter emojis. A third commenter chimed in: "Spot on! 'Money can't buy you class...'" while another exclaimed: "I am here for this kind of commentary ❤️."
The lavish wedding, which reportedly cost $20 million, was the culmination of Bezos and Sánchez's whirlwind romance, which began in 2019. The couple legally married prior to the ceremony, making their Italian celebration more like a grand finale than a traditional wedding.
Among the A-list guests attending the extravaganza were Orlando Bloom, who made his debut as a single man after reportedly splitting from longtime fiancée Katy Perry. Although Perry was absent due to conflicting tour dates, she sent a sweet message to Sánchez on social media. However, Bloom raised eyebrows when he was spotted wrapping an arm around a mystery woman – later revealed to be the former stylist of both Katy Perry and Meghan Markle.
Two plastic surgeons, Dr. Elie Levin from New York City and Dr. Smita Ramanadham from New Jersey, exclusively spoke with thescholarlynote.com about the apparent cosmetic procedures of some high-profile guests, which may have inspired Couric's snide comment.
In a bizarre twist, Bezos opted for a classic black three-piece tuxedo on his wedding day, while Sánchez stunned in her opulent white lace wedding gown. The couple shared their special moment with Instagram followers, posting a photo of themselves saying "I do" surrounded by the breathtaking Venetian scenery.
The drama-filled wedding celebration has left fans buzzing, with many taking sides on social media. Will Couric's sharp remark spark a new era in celebrity snarkiness? Only time will tell!
