Venice Wedding Extravaganza: The Best and Worst Dressed A-Listers

Here comes the bride! The soon-to-be Mrs. Bezos looked beautiful as she stepped into a water taxi with future husband Jeff on Thursday evening to head to the latest festivities. She wore a curve-hugging, champagne-colored strapless dress from Schiaparelli's Spring 2025 couture line with blue, green and gold embroidery all over it. She matched the dress with a pair of dark-champagne colored pumps, and kept things minimal with classic stud earrings

LAUREN SANCHEZ AND JEFF BEZOS' FAIRYTALE WEDDING: THE ULTIMATE FASHION SHOWDOWN

The Italian Riviera is buzzing with excitement as Hollywood's most glamorous stars descend upon Venice for the highly-anticipated wedding of Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and his stunning bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez. The power couple's multi-day extravaganza promises to be the ultimate celebration of love, luxury, and style.

As the guests list reads like a Who's Who of A-listers, we take a closer look at the fashion stakes. Who will shine bright in their designer finery? And who will fall flat?

Tom Brady looked especially handsome on Thursday as he kept things simple and casual-cool in a white button-down dress shirt and black pants. He wore a pair of black sunglasses to protect his eyes from the Venice heat, and draped a khaki-colored blazer around his arm. His appearance at the wedding comes just a few months after his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, welcomed a baby with partner Joaquim Valente

THE FOAMY AFFAIR

The festivities kicked off with a foam party on Bezos' staggering $500 million superyacht, setting the tone for a weekend of opulence and excess. The lovebirds have spared no expense in creating an unforgettable experience for their 200 VIP guests.

But that's not all – the couple has taken over several iconic Venetian landmarks to create an immersive celebration. Scuola Grande della Misericordia was set to host a massive bash on Saturday night, but insiders close to the couple have revealed that plans have been changed at the last minute, and the party will now take place in the Arsenale area.

The groom, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, looked sharp in a tailored gray suit with one button at the center. Underneath, he paired it with a crisp, white button down shirt that peeked through the sleeves of his jacket. He paired it with a pair of round Dior sunglasses

THE STAR-STUDDED GUEST LIST

Ivanka Trump has already arrived in Venice with her husband Jared Kushner and their three adorable children. The fashion mogul Diane von Furstenberg is also among the first to arrive, no doubt ready to bring some of her signature glamour to the proceedings.

But it's not just the high-society types who are making waves – Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, and now-single Orlando Bloom will all be in attendance, adding a touch of Hollywood glamour to the festivities.

Cool for the summer! Oprah looked great on Thursday evening as she got into a water taxi in a dark maroon and white patterned dress. The frock included cut-outs at the sides, and she tied together the look with a pair of chic, round glasses

WHO'LL BE BEST DRESSED?

As the fashion focus intensifies, we take a closer look at some of the attendees who might just steal the show:

  • Kim Kardashian: Will Kim's signature style shine through amidst the sea of designer gowns and suits?
  • Ivanka Trump: Can Ivanka's impeccable taste and sense of glamour give her the edge she needs to outshine the competition?
  • Diane von Furstenberg: The legendary fashion mogul is sure to bring some serious style credentials to the table – will she be the one to beat?

A newly-single Orlando Bloom looked very summer-y in a pair of light khaki pants and a white button-down as he got into a water taxi on Thursday evening. He had a matching khaki suit jacket, and sported a closely-cropped haircut that looked freshly styled

Stay tuned for our Best Dressed report, as we reveal who's killing it on the red carpet and who might just get left behind.

WORST DRESSED?

But not everyone is a style winner. Who among the A-list crowd might have made some fashion faux pas? Will it be Tom Brady's suit, Kim Kardashian's accessories, or perhaps Ivanka Trump's shoes?

Kim Kardashian didn't seem to be following the summer wedding theme as she stepped out in a curve-hugging, snakeskin dress with bedazzled straps and a lace-up detailing at the bust. She wore a dark smokey eye and a large cocktail ring, bringing the look together with her super long pink nails

Only time will tell as we dish out the fashion verdict on this star-studded guest list.

A SNEAK PEEK AT THE WEDDING

Rumors are swirling that Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' nuptials might just be the most talked-about wedding of the year. The couple's commitment to luxury is evident in every detail, from the bespoke designer gowns to the exclusive guest list.

Too casual? Kendall Jenner kept things quite simple in what appeared to be a vintage spring 2002 Roberto Cavalli dress, which featured a halter neckline and a pink and orange floral motif. It also included details of an angel at the skirt. Kendall kept things easy with minimal accessories

Will their fairytale romance continue to captivate us long after the big day? Only time will tell – but one thing's for sure: this wedding will be remembered for years to come as a true celebration of love and style.

Not our favorite! When Ivanka Trump arrived to Venice on Tuesday, she put on a whopping $1,170 crop-top and skirt set from designer La DoubleJ. The outfit was complete with red embroidery, but the skirt seemed to hit her at an awkward length. She brought the look together with a pair of large, round black sunglasses

The bride-to-be's fellow Blue Origin astronaut Gayle King arrived to Venice on Wednesday wearing a pair of ill-fitting, oversized light green cargo pants and a white v-neck tee shirt. She clutched a denim jacket in one hand and kept things casual in a pair of translucent eye glasses

Gaudy in gold! Kylie Jenner looked a bit out of place as she sported a busty, gold lace bodycon dress on Thursday evening alongside her sister, Kendall. She completed the look with a small black purse and black sunglasses

Blast from the past! Singer Usher arrived on Thursday for the festivities in a suit that looked like it was from the 1980's and striped blouse underneath. He also wore a big necklace with a 'U' pendant on it, and wire glasses
