Lauren Sánchez Steps Out in Venice Ahead of Her Wedding, Igniting Buzz About Her Dress and Ring

Wearing an off-shoulder corset gown and flashing her enormous engagement ring, the soon-to-be bride made a striking appearance ahead of her wedding — but not everyone was impressed.

On the evening of June 26, 2025, just one day before exchanging vows with Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez turned heads as she stepped out of the Aman Hotel in Venice, Italy. She wore a figure-hugging, off-the-shoulder floral corset gown that immediately became the focal point of online conversation.

The couple, surrounded by security and guests, was photographed leaving the hotel en route to a pre-wedding dinner event. The occasion marked one of the most public and fashion-forward moments of the wedding weekend.

As images circulated online, social media users wasted no time weighing in with their opinions. Some were entertained, others critical.

One commenter remarked, "It's giving lampshade 😂", capturing the whimsical tone shared by several others. Another added, "Dress looks like my old living room curtain 😂."

Some reactions were even more direct. One person wrote, "She is so tacky," while a second viewer simply questioned, "Can she breath in that look"

Although netizens focused mainly on the dress, some still zeroed in on her ring. The enormous gem had them questioning its aesthetic value.

"That ring is gaudy and not very attractive," one commenter wrote. Another viewer added, "It's so big that it looks fake." "Such a tacky ring. You can't even wear it and enjoy it," said a third.

However, not every comment was negative. One person took a more generous view, noting that the pair genuinely seemed to enjoy one another’s company.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time the internet has sunk its teeth into the couple’s wedding affairs.

On June 25, Bezos and Sánchez were filmed walking toward a water taxi, reportedly en route to one of several events leading up to their wedding celebration, which cost more than $50 million.

In the clip, Bezos is seen exiting the hotel swiftly and taking a moment to wave to reporters. Sanchez follows shortly after in a striped dress, also waving as she steps toward the boat.

After getting on the water taxi, Bezos turns around and extends a hand to help his fiancée in before they both disappear into the cabin. Though the occasion was grand, the dynamic between them seemed to spark more chatter than their surroundings.

"The way he ditched her and walked away," one person observed bluntly. Another viewer remarked, "He didn’t even help her down," while others pointed out that Sanchez appeared to struggle with the steps unaided. "He couldn’t help her down the steps? She seems to be struggling," one comment read.

The critique didn't stop there. Some commenters suggested the Amazon founder's body language lacked warmth or attentiveness. One person noted, "Something is off in his behavior around her," while another wrote, "He acts like he doesn't even like her."

Even minor gestures — or the absence of them — did not go unnoticed. "Wow he doesn’t hold his arm out for his fiancée ugh not a gentleman," read one reaction. A different viewer echoed a similar thought: "He almost forgot to help her get in the boat, first fight on wedding night…"

A few commenters tried to interpret his demeanor. "He waves to people like he’s some kinda KING!!" someone quipped, while another sarcastically pointed out, "All that money and the little things still bug me."

While the footage drew its own reactions, it followed closely on the heels of their wedding invite that was revealed recently on June 24.
