Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding festivities have begun, with celebrity guests already celebrating in Venice, Italy.
The multi-day celebration kicks off today as Italian locals continue to protest the presence of the American couple and their wealthy friends, given how much the city is struggling with overtourism.
However, the show will go on, with Bezos and Sánchez expected to wed Friday. A welcome event is reportedly taking place this evening, and a dinner is being hosted Saturday.
The Amazon founder and former journalist arrived Wednesday at the opulent Aman Hotel via helicopter after spending time in Croatia on board Bezos’s $500 million mega yacht, Koru.
Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Gayle King are among the latest A-listers wedding guests who have touched down in Venice.
Some stars arrived in style, with the perfect sets, dresses, and suits, in honor of what’s been dubbed “the wedding of the century.” However, other celebrities missed the mark when building their looks for the week.
Here are the best and worst-dressed celebrities in Venice so far for Bezos and Sánchez’s luxurious nuptials. We’ll be updating the looks as the week goes on.
