The wedding hasn’t happened yet, but you wouldn’t know it from the number of celebrities currently filling up Venice’s canals. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are reportedly tying the knot any day now, and in the meantime, the city has transformed into a surreal blend of fashion week-turned-tech summit.
As for when the actual ceremony is set to take place, that’s still under wraps, but the rehearsal dinner is underway; the paparazzi are on overdrive; and a glittering guest list of famous faces have already been spotted in preparation for the extravaganza to come.
What started as a wedding has quickly turned into the ultimate A-lister parade, with everyone from tech billionaires and media moguls to Hollywood heavyweights flying in for the festivities. But as excited as the celebrities might be, the same can’t be said for the disgruntled locals, who’ve been protesting the arrival of Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sánchez and their guests, since their destination event was announced.
Unsurprisingly, neither Bezos or his wife-to-be are letting the outside noise trickle in to interrupt their big day, and have maintained their packed pre-wedding schedule (foam party included).
Still, for all its surrealism, the Bezos-Sánchez wedding week is undeniably a spectacle. Absurd? Yes. Over-the-top? Extremely. But fascinating? At least mildly.
So, as the betrothed billionaires count down to their long-publicised ceremony, here’s a running list of all the major celebrities who’ve made the cut for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s ultra-exclusive wedding guest list.
Which Celebrities Were Invited To Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding?
Leonardo DiCaprio & Vittoria Ceretti
Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted en route to the rehearsal dinner alongside his girlfriend, model Vittoria Ceretti. As per usual, he opted for his go-to face shield -a baseball cap – only this time he used it to accessorise his casual suit. His long-term partner Vittoria went with a long, trailing gown. Despite them looking like they were attending two entirely separate events, they did indeed board the same water taxi.
Oprah Winfrey & Gayle King
After bonding with Sanchez on their recent trip to space, Gayle King has swapped her astronaut suit for a Versace number to be in attendance for her Blue Origin buddy nuptials.
Her plus one? Why Oprah Winfrey, of course. The pair touched down a few days before the Jeff Bezos wedding is set to take place, with both being spotted making their way to the rehearsal dinner alongside a boat load of other celebrity guests.
Kim Kardashian & Khloé Kardashian
At this point, Italy is basically a second home for most of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. So it should come at no surprise that (most of) the family made it onto the elite guest list.
The two middle sisters were spotted hitching a ride with momager, Kris, who gladly played content producer for the ride over to the rehearsal dinner. If you look closely enough, you can practically hear the reassuring cheers of “you’re doing great, sweetie!” through the screen.
Kylie & Kendall Jenner
Of course, where one pack of Kardashians goes, the Jenners are sure to follow, and as long-standing friends with Sánchez, it’s a given that both Kylie and Kendall would be in attendance.
The pair were spotted (looking immaculate we must say) on their way to the pre-wedding rehearsal dinner with Kylie settling in for the evening with a glass of rose in hand.
Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble
Kris Jenner and her fresh new look took to the canals of Venice alongside partner Corey Gamble for a night of pre-wedding festivities.
Although she has a long standing relationship with Sánchez, it’s yet to be seen if she’ll play any kind of role in the ceremony itself.
Ivanka Trump & Jared Kushner
Because no event dripping in money and privilege is ever complete without someone from the Trump dynasty, Ivanka and Jared have been photographed settling into the seaside locale.
Arriving earlier than the other celebrities, the two were spotted spending time with their children ahead of the wedding weekend.
Diane Von Furstenberg & Barry Diller
DVF and her media mogul husband Barry Diller are regulars in Venice, and reportedly close with Sánchez. Of all the guests, they somehow make the most sense.
Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady & Scooter Braun
What better way for a celebrity to nurse their (allegedly) broken heart after a break up than with a trip to the most romantic city in the world? Taking the chance to mingle with fellow-single dad Tom Brady, Bloom swapped Australian winter for Euro summer, for a power walk with buddy (?) Scooter Braun ahead of the big day.
Of course, what would a tech billionaire’s wedding be without a few industry bros to round out the famous faces? In addition to all the celebrities lining up to celebrate the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, buddies Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, Lachlan Murdoch and former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, have also flown in for the weekend.
