Leonardo DiCaprio's Date Makes Elegance Statement at $20M Venice Wedding
VENICE, ITALY - THE WEDDING OF A CENTURY!
As the sun dipped into the Venetian horizon, the crème de la crème of Hollywood and tech's elite gathered on the picturesque San Giorgio Maggiore island for the most anticipated wedding of the year - Jeff Bezos' $20 million extravaganza with Lauren Sanchez!
The Amazon mogul, 61, and his stunning bride-to-be, 55, welcomed nearly 200 VIP guests, including Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Usher, and Leonardo DiCaprio (more on that later), for three days of opulence and luxury. And what a weekend it was!
Vittoria Ceretti Steals the Show!
Before the main event, Vittoria Ceretti, DiCaprio's gorgeous 27-year-old model girlfriend, made her grand entrance in a chic black dress, complete with a plunging V-neck, diamond choker necklace, and stud earrings. Her hair swept into an elegant bun, she beamed with joy as she left the Gritti Palace Hotel to board a water taxi.
DiCaprio's Bizarre Baseball Cap Antics!
Meanwhile, DiCaprio, 50, tried his best to go incognito at the wedding, donning a ridiculous low-sitting LA Lakers baseball cap that had fans in stitches! The Oscar winner looked like a baby elephant hiding behind a tree as he attempted to hide from prying eyes. Twitter was abuzz with reactions, including: "Leo's giving baby elephant," and "The way Leo is wearing that hat is beyond parody!"
Bezos-Sanchez Nuptials: A Lavish Affair!
As the clock struck midnight on Friday, Bezos and Sanchez exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony, surrounded by their closest friends and family. The atmosphere was electric, with cheers erupting as the couple sealed their love.
The pre-wedding party, held at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, had to be cut short due to a freak thunderstorm that rolled in on Thursday night. Guests, including Kylie Jenner, took cover under the vaulted ceilings as lightning bolts flashed and thunder rumbled overhead.
A-Listers Flock to Venice!
The likes of Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump jetted into Italy earlier this week for the nuptials, which marked two years since Bezos proposed to Sanchez on his $500 million superyacht!
As the weekend drew to a close, it was clear that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's union would be remembered as the wedding of the century. And who knows? Maybe Vittoria Ceretti will make a cameo at the after-parties?
