The $20 Million Spectacle: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Lavish Venice Wedding

The Most Epic Wedding of the Century: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Tie the Knot in Venice

In a celebration that's being hailed as the "wedding of a century," billionaire tech mogul Jeff Bezos is finally marrying his much-younger bride, Lauren Sanchez, in a lavish $20 million affair that's got everyone talking. And we're not just talking about the A-list guest list – oh no! We're talking about the drama, the glamour, and the sheer excess that's going to make this wedding one for the books.

The festivities kicked off with a star-studded welcome dinner at the Campo Della Madonna dell'Orto, where the who's who of Hollywood came out to play. And by "play," we mean they came out to gorge themselves on caviar and champagne while wearing their best designer duds. Because, let's be real, when you're invited to a Bezos wedding, you show up dressed to impress – or at least, that's what we think.

Lauren Sanchez herself made a stunning entrance at the Aman Hotel, where she was spotted in a ladylike white Dior puff sleeve suit that's giving us major wedding dress vibes. And let's not forget that brand new enormous diamond ring she's sporting – because when you're marrying one of the richest men in the world, you'd better bring your A-game.

But the real question on everyone's mind is: who didn't get invited to this exclusive soiree? Well, we can tell you that the Kardashians are definitely on the guest list, along with Sydney Sweeney and Leonardo DiCaprio. And if you thought that was all, think again – because Oprah, Queen Rania, and Ivanka Trump are also expected to make an appearance tonight.

Now, we know what you're thinking: what about the fashion? Oh, darling, the fashion is everything! Usher and his wife Jenn Goicoechea looked like a million bucks as they arrived at the wedding in matching white tuxedos and designer duds. And Khloe Kardashian was a vision in her elegant black frock – although we have to wonder if that $298 midi dress is going to be the new go-to look for all the reality TV stars out there.

Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney brought her A-game in a little black dress with a plunging neckline and some seriously fierce Miu Miu shoes. And speaking of fierce, Eva Longoria looked like a Greek goddess in that stunning white gown she wore to the welcome dinner. Tom Brady and Katy Perry are also expected to make an appearance tonight – because when you're invited to a Bezos wedding, you'd better bring your A-game (or at least, that's what we think).

But let's not forget about the drama! Campaign group No Space For Bezos has announced plans to disrupt the wedding by blocking canals and scattering inflatable crocodiles along the waterways. Because when you're protesting Jeff Bezos' tax dodging ways, you'd better bring your A-game (or at least, that's what we think).

And if all that isn't enough to get you excited for this wedding extravaganza, just wait until tonight – because with a guest list like this, anything can happen. Will there be drama? Will there be fashion disasters? Will there be a surprise performance by Taylor Swift (okay, maybe not, but a girl can dream, right)?
