Lauren Sanchez’s wedding dress
Lauren Sanchez got married in a traditional white wedding dress with a veil. According to Vogue, her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding gown was designed by Dolce & Gabbana.
Jeff Bezos reportedly begged to see the dress before the wedding, but was refused.
“I almost gave in!” Sanchez admitted before the wedding. “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.”
The wedding gown surprised many who expected Sanchez to choose the modern, strapless styles she favours for red carpet appearances. But the bride said she wanted a more timeless look for her wedding - hence the high-neck and lace.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,” Lauren Sanchez told Vogue.
In an Instagram post, Sachez described the gown as “Not just a gown, a piece of poetry.”
