<p id=”par-2_91″>For her June 27, 2025, wedding on Venice’s San Giorgio Maggiore island, Lauren Sánchez chose a show-stopping custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda gown that redefined bridal elegance. Crafted over 900 hours of meticulous atelier work, the dress fused romantic old‑Hollywood charisma with couture precision. It featured a sculpted corseted bodice and sweeping mermaid skirt, all covered in intricate, hand-appliquéd Italian lace. A high neckline and long sleeves added regal refinement, while a cascade of 180 silk‑chiffon‑covered buttons trailing down the front and train paid homage to Sophia Loren’s 1958 <em>Houseboat</em> wedding look. </p>
<p id=”par-3_37″>With its cathedral-length veil and Alta Gioielleria Miracolo diamond earrings, Sánchez’s statement gown was, in her words, “a piece of poetry” — a timeless symbol of her personal evolution and the grandeur of her new chapter with Bezos.</p>
<p id=”par-4_49″>Fans on Reddit noticed that Sánchez’s gown looks similar to what Priyanka Chopra wore on her wedding day. Photos on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/BollyBlindsNGossip/comments/1lpqn51/did_you_guys_also_noticed_lauren_sanchezs_wedding/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> show Chopra walking with Nick Jonas in a mermaid gown with similar lace details and buttons. However, several fans said they think Chopra wore the look better. </p>
<p id=”par-5_24″>“I liked Priyanka’s better for some reason,” one fan wrote. “Lauren got her inspo from Sophia Loren; the mermaid part is a major difference.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-both-wedding-dresses-required-a-lot-of-custom-work”>Both wedding dresses required a lot of custom work</h2>
<p id=”par-6_28″>Lauren Sánchez’s Dolce & Gabbana gown was everything she wanted for her <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kris-jenner-jeff-bezos-invite-single-daughters-wedding-could-meet-rich-significant-others.html/”>wedding day to Jeff Bezos</a>. And it seems it wasn’t Priyanka Chopra’s similar look that inspired her.</p>
<p id=”par-7_50″>“I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s,” Sánchez told Vogue about the dress. “I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were [in a prayer position] and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress.’”</p>
<p id=”par-8_74″>As for Chopra’s dress, she wore a one-of-a-kind custom Ralph Lauren gown for her wedding day. An <a href=”https://www.instagram.com/p/BsGSQWUBTEI/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Instagram</a> post from the designer notes Chopra’s dress included 135 satin-covered buttons, 700 spools of ivory thread, 5,600 pearlized seed beads, 11,632 Swarovski crystals, and 2,412,000 high-luster sequins.<br>.<br>“Totaling 1,826 hours of handwork by 15 skilled artisans,” the caption reads. “All with the impeccable attention to detail and authenticity that have defined five decades of Ralph Lauren design.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_97″>A wave of celebrity criticism followed the extravagant, estimated $50 million wedding of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/lip-reader-catches-irritated-jeff-bezos-saying-appalled-adoring-fans-lauren-sanchez-blows-kisses.html/”>Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos</a>. Rosie O’Donnell took to Instagram and her Substack to excoriate the ceremony as “gross excess,” accusing the billionaire couple of flaunting wealth while everyday Americans lose benefits. Charlize Theron, hosting her charity block party in Los Angeles, quipped that she and her guests “might be the only people who did not get an invite … but that’s OK, because they suck and we’re cool.” On her podcast, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-critics-say-tacky-choices-50-million-wedding-prove-money-buy-class.html/”>Meghan McCain blasted the event as “gaudy,” “tacky,”</a> and a “waste of money.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_43″>Finally, Katie Couric chimed in on Sánchez’s Dolce & Gabbana gown, labeling it “tacky” and reminiscent of outdated conspicuous consumption. “Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,” she commented, according to a screenshot on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/popculturechat/comments/1lmpu6s/katie_couric_comments_on_the_lauren_s%C3%A1nchez_and/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-11_16″>“Katie, I wasn’t familiar with your game,” one Reddit user commented in support of Couric’s criticism.</p>
