Is there trouble after the nuptials? One of Lauren Sánchez‘s wedding dresses was reportedly stolen days after her and Jeff Bezos‘ $55 million ceremony.
According to talian newspaper Corriere della Sera, an “elegantly dressed” woman allegedly had snuck in to the couple’s private ceremony and took one of Sánchez’s 27 dresses. The woman was later escorted out. However, the Daily Mail reported that the story is unlikely to be true because a police report was not filed. The dress in question was not Lauren Sánchez’s Dolce & Gabanna dress, which is estimated to cost around $300 thousand according to SheKnows.
Lauren Sánchez’s wedding dress journey was documented in Vogue as the pilot entrepreneur wanted to dress to evoke Sophia Lauren’s signature style. “I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s,” she says. “I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were like this”—she imitates a prayer position—“and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress.’”
The dress she wore down the aisle was designed by Dolce & Gabbana and features 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons. The dress took over 900 hours to complete. Sánchez has tight ties to the Italian fashion house as her son Nikko Gonzalez made his runway debut in a 2024 Menswear fashion show in Milan.
Despite over a year in the making, Sánchez wouldn’t let the Amazon billionaire take a peek at the dress before the wedding. “I almost gave in!” she admitted to the fashion magazine. “But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can’t wait to see his face.”
After the wedding dress made its big debut, a lot of criticism circulated about how the dress looks. “Welcome to the eighties—when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled,” Katie Couric commented under Jack Schlossberg’s now-deleted Instagram post criticizing the dress. “Apparently tacky is back.”
Along with her high priced wedding dress, Sánchez wore a $100 thousand Schiaparelli dress designed by Daniel Roseberry from the 2025 couture collection to the pre-wedding dinner. She also wore a 2003 Alexander McQueen dress sourced from Tab Vintage to the festivities.
