It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

------

This week, all eyes were on Venice as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez celebrated their wedding in a dazzling display on the enchanting island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Critics, including our favorite “pretendian” Elizabeth Warren, were quick to call it a blatant show of wealth, with Warren tossing out a tired jab about Bezos needing to pay more taxes—ignoring the fact that his tax bill likely rivals a small nation’s budget. Conveniently overlooked in the shade was the couple’s $3.5 million donation to Venetian conservation efforts and their commitment to sourcing 80% of provisions from local vendors—a genuine effort to give back that deserves a nod. Yes the event was a lavish spectacle, but it also showcased a surprising dose of taste.

Known for capturing Bezos’s heart (and his wallet), Sánchez has built a reputation for “loud luxury” that often teeters on the edge of gaudy. I was a bit stunned when her wedding wardrobe leaned more toward timeless Hollywood elegance than Vegas showgirl.

Lauren Sánchez’s wedding dress was the talk of the town, and for once, it wasn’t because we could see clear to the promised land. The custom Dolce & Gabbana gown was restrained. With its high neckline, hand-appliquéd Italian lace, and a mermaid silhouette cinched by 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons, it drew comparisons to Sophia Loren’s iconic dress in Houseboat. Paired with a traditional tulle-and-lace veil, the gown was a poetic departure from Sánchez’s usual skin-baring, blinged-out aesthetic. Dare I say, it was… demure? Refined? Dare I whisper… classy? This wasn’t the “naked illusion” mermaid cut I braced for, and I’m not mad at it.

Sánchez’s pre-wedding outfits also raised eyebrows, but in a good way. She kicked things off with a shimmering brocade corset dress from Schiaparelli’s Spring-Summer 2025 couture collection, complete with a metallic corset and a satin band dripping with embroidered flowers. At first glance, I feared it was giving “bedazzled lampshade,” and my inner cynic wondered if Sánchez’s superpower is making even the priciest couture look tacky. But the more I squinted at it, the more it grew on me. The waist-defining cut flattered her figure, and—praise be—her assets stayed tastefully contained. She also channeled Audrey Hepburn (or at least tried to) in a cream Dior two-piece suit with a silk headscarf and Tom Ford sunglasses, looking like she stepped off a yacht in Roman Holiday. I am here for this softer, more sophisticated Lauren.

Among the glittering guest list was Ivanka Trump, serving looks that reminded us she can shine brighter than a lighting bug in June. At the ceremony, she dazzled in a salmon pink Tony Ward Couture gown with jeweled rose embellishments. The day after, Ivanka kept it effortlessly chic in a Cara Cara Santiago midi sundress, a flirty yet elegant choice that said “I’m here to sip prosecco.” Ivanka’s ability to balance high fashion with approachable glamour made her a standout.

As the dust settles on this Venetian extravaganza, Sánchez and Bezos delivered a wedding that was full of money, romance, and—shockingly—taste. Sure, the Schiaparelli dress flirted with excess, and all of the references to old Hollywood might have felt a bit too calculated, but overall, it proved Lauren can do glamour if she wants to.

Thank you, Piper!
