Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos: five highlights of the wedding

The wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his second wife, moderator Lauren Sánchez Bezos, has caused many discussions in the past few weeks. The two of them cost $ 40 to $ 50 million, for which parts of Venice were blocked. Protest groups had already formed in advance, on the Markusplatz a banner that referred to the BISE when he could buy the lagoon city should he also be able to pay taxes. Now the festival is history, the newlyweds in the honeymoon and the well -heeled guests have also flown out. Time to look at the highlights of the celebrations.

The greatest interest in a wedding is undoubtedly the bride – more precisely the wedding dress. Shortly after Bezos and Sánchez Bezos gave the yes on Friday evening, the US magazine “Vogue” published the first photos of the Dolce and Gabbana Creation. Unlike expected, Sánchez Bezos’ dress was almost conservative. She wore a high -necked top robe with a small collar and long sleeves. The dress with corset and mermaid silhouette was inspired by Sophia Lorens Robe from the film “Houseboat”.

“In the beginning I wanted a simple, sexy, modern dress and then something that conjures up for a moment and shows where I am now. I am a different person than five years ago,” said Lauren Sánchez Bezos about the “Vogue”.

It is impossible to talk about the wedding of the superlative without getting into your backdrop. There was a lot of talk about the consequences of the celebrations in advance. Almost 100 private jets landed on site to bring the partially famous guests to the lagoon city, super yachts anchored days before. A disaster for the environment. But the Venetians were also partially angry with the dimensions of the celebration. Despite all the tourism income, they have been suffering from the Venice Touri boom for years. Why Bezos and Sánchez Bezos wanted to celebrate their yes there is still obvious. If you think the tourist masses away, the lagoon city is of an almost unreality. A more breathtaking backdrop for your own wedding is difficult to imagine.

Where exactly the two would celebrate they kept secret in advance. The opening party rose on Thursday evening in the garden of the former monastery church of Madonna Dell’orto. The Bezos and their guests were hit in boats. They said the yes on Friday on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. But the party was far from over. On Saturday, the newlyweds threw a Pyjama party in the Arsenal, an old shipyard area on the eastern edge of the historic city center. However, the outfits of the guests and the bride did not indicate the motto.

The illustrious crowd of guests caused almost as much a stir almost as much as the wedding couple. The guest list read in advance like the WHO IS WHO of show business and business. Kim Kardashian was on site as well as her mother Kris Jenner and the sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kylie and Kendall Jenner. Leonardo DiCaprio tried to stay undetected and always pulled his caps on the face. Oprah Winfrey allegedly danced with TV colleague Gayle King at the Pyjama party. Likewise – supposedly – Mick Jagger. Usher reported reportedly a few of his hits.

Particular attention was paid to Lauren Sánchez Bezos’ Outfit election during the celebrations. All outfits sprayed one thing: luxury. The former moderator wore a decorated, shoulder-free robe by Atelier Versace for the Pyjama party. For the path by boat to the wedding location on Friday, she chose a cream-colored dior costume with dark sunglasses (from Tom Ford) and a silk cloth (from Hermès). The embroidered Corsagen robe, for which she decided to start on Thursday, was designed by designer Daniel Roseberry for the Luxury House Schiaparelli. Striking: Sánchez Bezos’ Waspaille in the creation.
