Jeff Bezos, the billionaire who married Lauren Sanchez in Venice on Friday, will be able to attend the lavish wedding, which will cost $ 20 million (£15 million).
Jeff Bezos’ bride Lauren Sanchez is flying in her most trusted glam squad for her $20 million (£15m) wedding in Venice on Friday. The former journalist, 55, has pulled out all the stops to make sure she looks picture-perfect for the eye-wateringly lavish nuptials, which will be attended by a whole host of Hollywood stars.
Ahead of the ceremony, which is said to be taking place at the stunning Arsenale fortress after Venetians threatened to block the canals with inflatable crocodiles at Bezos’ former choice of venue in the city, a tour guide was hired to welcome guests was snappedholding a clipboard of names.

Members of Lauren’s “glam squad” were prominent among the list, which included names, flight numbers, and hotel locations, according to the Mail.
So, as Ms Sanchez gets ready to waltz down the aisle with one of the richest men in the world, here’s all we know about those tasked with giving the bride her perfect day, from the makeup artist who chose Lauren’s lippy for her recent trip to space – to a drag queen tailor…
Laura Ann Mele, a makeup artist, is
Make-up artist, Laura Ann Mele, has been trusted with Lauren’s look since at least November 2023, when the former newsreader first appeared on Laura’s Instagram page.
The New Yorker chose natural makeup with a seductive shimmer for the Women of the Year awards from Glamour at the time.
Laura, who arrived in Venice on June 24, has worked with Lauren several times, including for her 53rd birthday party, multiple award ceremonies, and the bride-to-be’s debut Met Gala appearance in 2024.
Most recently, she did Lauren’s makeup for her much-criticised trip to space on Jeff’s Blue Origin rocket. Joined by Katy Perry, Lauren skipped onto the rocket in a skin-tight blue jumpsuit, but was slammed by many for a ‘monumental waste of money’.
Sophie Rose, a stylist, is the hairstylist.
Hairstylist Sophie Rose is a long-time member of Lauren’s glam squad. Given how frequently she has collaborated with Lauren, the Californian’s name was reported on the wedding guest list.
Lauren frequently appears on Sophie’s Instagram account, including when the famous hairdresser posted a photo of her client’s “bridal” look at the Vanity Fair’s Oscars party with Jeff in March.
The former journalist wore a strapless white mermaid gown with a feathered hem and train for the ceremony, which many assumed screamed “bride to be.”
Sophie might change the wedding styling of her long, raven hair to one that resembles a tumbling wave.
British actor Buster Knight as makeup artist
British makeup artist Buster Knight is also arriving for the big day. The London-based creative earlier this morning, before the leaked spreadsheet confirmed Buster’s arrival in Italy around lunchtime, shared his flight information with Instagram from the UK.
Buster has been in charge of several of Lauren’s looks, including one at the July 2012 Dolce &, Gabbana Alta Moda show in Sardinia.
Buster revealed that he used Kylie Cosmetics mascara and Hourglass Cosmetics’ lipstick in the shade “Dove 306” over fake lashes from UK-based brand Eyelure while putting the lid on her makeup for Milan Fashion Week in January.
Samuel Horowitz, the executive of Dolce and Gabbana,
The name Samuel Horowitz, an executive at Dolce and Gabanna, suggests that Lauren might be wearing a wedding dress created by the Italian duo.
She has been seen carrying large bags, possibly after a dress fitting, at the D&, G flagship store in Milan in March.
Nikko, 24, Lauren’s son, also modeled for the fashion house last year.
Mindy L’amour, a drag queen tailor,
Drag queen tailor Mindy L’amour is one of the list’s most jaw-dropping names, according to reports. The Californian stylist has dressed a number of celebrities, including drag queens, in corsets, and is a master at it.
Lauren has worn a corset to a number of high-profile occasions, including US President Trump’s January inauguration.
According to a source close to her, “She does what she wants,” the bride-to-be ignored the backlash from those who accused her of dressing inappropriately for the wedding.
Lauren also wore a low-cut white corset for her star-studded hen party in Paris, which was attended by Kim Kardashian, who is also going to the wedding.
Maybe Mindy will put Lauren in a corset for her wedding after she shared a video of herself enjoying a water taxi ride earlier today in Venice. We’re eager to learn more!
