Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding Weight Loss Hack Before Marrying Jeff Bezos
Nothing screams “true love” like counting salt shakers instead of calories—Lauren Sánchez just proved that before her June 27 Venice nuptials. The 55-year-old journalist revealed she shed a modest three and a half pounds ahead of marrying Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, and spoiler alert: no detox teas or midnight kale smoothies were harmed in the process.
Sánchez insists her pre-wedding weight shed was purely routine. “Some people meditate, I work out,” she told Vogue. Every morning, she and Bezos share coffee, gossip about stock prices (or who knows what billionaires talk about), then hit the gym. It’s adorable—like a rom-com where the plot twist is a dumbbell.
In the weeks before the ceremony, she sacrificed her beloved cocktails and dialed back on salt. Other than that, “I like food. Food is such a big part of life. I’m Latin!” she quipped. Translating that from “dead-serious diet talk” means she didn’t morph into a lettuce leaf; she just skipped the martini and extra fries.
Days before the I-do’s, Sánchez stepped out in a floral Schiaparelli welcome-party gown with a skin-tight corset that looked like it was forged in Italian marble. Clearly, the woman who braved headline-grabbing photo shoots with high-profile exes was prepared for an all-out fashion flex.
Come wedding day, her gym dedication paid off: she slipped into a custom Dolce & Gabbana dress dripping in Italian lace and sporting a modest, high neckline inspired by Sophia Loren. “It’s a departure from what people expect,” she told Vogue. Translation: most folks expect sequins and megawatt sparkle at a Bezos event, but Sánchez opted for elegant restraint—because subtlety is apparently the new bling.
Designer Stefano Gabbana nodded in approval: “She didn’t want something flashing or bling bling—very classic and elegant.” If by “classic” you mean showing up with your own six-pack, then mission accomplished.
As for the guest list, imagine a Hollywood yacht party without an actual yacht. Orlando Bloom, Eva Longoria, Leonardo DiCaprio (in full Dodgers-cap incognito), Karlie Kloss, Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner—all navigated Venice’s canals in high fashion. Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King matched in red and pink, Kris Jenner cozied up with Corey Gamble, while Tom Brady and Usher rocked tuxes you could almost hear whisper “I own three sports teams.”
Jeff, in a sharp black suit, stood by his bride-to-be as she basked in her three-pound victory. They got engaged in 2023 after going public in 2019, so this was less “quickie Vegas wedding” and more “years of negotiation over linens.”
At the end of the day, Sánchez’s “hardcore” diet tip was essentially “just gym it out and mind your salt.” If you’re looking for groundbreaking advice, keep scrolling; if you want proof that billionaires’ weddings still hinge on C-level sacrifices, you’ve found your headline.
