Lauren Sanchez’s Spaceflight Keepsake Stars as ‘Something Blue’ at Bezos Wedding
Hot take: a billionaire’s bride just swiped the classic ‘something blue’ playbook and launched it into orbit. In a Vogue fitting that sounds more like NASA mission prep than bridal couture, Lauren Sanchez Bezos let slip that her ‘something blue’ is a memento from her female-filled, 11-minute Blue Origin joyride. Third-grade brides everywhere must be kicking themselves for choosing blue garters instead of zero-gravity souvenirs.
The Venice ceremony itself was the kind of party you’d expect when you mix billionaire wallets and Renaissance canals. Sanchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot last Friday in a palazzo that probably cost more than most countries’ annual space budgets. If your idea of wedding drama is Great-Aunt Hilda’s hat, spare a moment of pity for anyone who didn’t score an invite.
True to tradition, Sanchez borrowed something old, new, borrowed, blue to ward off evil spirits—or perhaps nosy paparazzi. Vogue reports the ‘something borrowed’ is a pair of Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioielleria Miracolo earrings, strung with four diamonds carved from a single stone and set in white gold. At this point, those earrings have more pedigree than your average royal tiara.
She also enforced the ‘don’t let the groom see you before the aisle’ rule, because apparently Jeff Bezos can’t handle surprises unless they’re quarterly earnings. The 55-year-old bride opted for what Vogue coyly calls a ‘conservative’ dress that covers her chest—her first time channeling Victorian vibes in full wedding regalia. By comparison, most brides worry about a train; she worried about orbital mechanics.
Sources say the guest list read like a ’who’s who’ of Hollywood and high finance, though the real headliner was a reminder that Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, is now officially part of the Bezos matrimonial narrative. After all, slipping a spaceflight keepsake under a wedding gown feels much more authentic than a blue ribbon or a handkerchief. Vogue’s exclusive fitting notes hint she’s keeping the exact blue-hued trinket hush-hush, probably so it doesn’t end up as a coffee stirrer on someone’s TikTok live.
In the end, this ceremony confirmed that nothing says ‘I do’ quite like combining ancient wedding lore with orbital souvenirs. Tune in next time for more gravity-defying weddings and questionable life choices.
