A spectacular three-day wedding celebration in Venice has taken an unusual turn after reports emerged that one of Lauren Sánchez’s wedding outfits has disappeared without explanation. The 55-year-old bride, who recently married Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, had an impressive collection of 27 different dresses available for her lavish nuptials, but one of these designer pieces has now gone missing, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, as reported by the Daily Mail.
The missing garment disappeared sometime during the weekend festivities, though the specific designer brand and style of the dress remain undisclosed. What makes the situation particularly intriguing is how the dress may have gone missing through the actions of an uninvited guest who managed to slip past security measures.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, an elegantly dressed woman allegedly bypassed security guards without an invitation during the celebration. While she was eventually discovered and “kindly escorted out” by security personnel, her personal information was not recorded before her departure. This mysterious guest is now suspected of taking the missing dress during her brief presence at the exclusive event.
The theft wasn’t the only unexpected incident during the wedding weekend. Reports also indicate that one of Sánchez’s Dolce & Gabbana gowns caught fire at some point during the festivities, although fortunately, this was not the dress she wore during the actual ceremony, including the exchange of vows.
Sánchez’s Stunning Dolce & Gabbana Wedding Gown Details
Despite these behind-the-scenes dramas, Sánchez’s main wedding ensemble took center stage during the ceremony itself. She chose a stunning Dolce & Gabbana creation that perfectly captured her vision for the momentous occasion. Designers crafted the high-neck, corseted gown from hand-appliquéd Italian lace, featuring a mermaid silhouette that created an ethereal appearance.
The dress drew inspiration from Sophia Loren’s iconic look in the 1989 film “Houseboat,” a detail that reflected Sánchez’s desire to connect with classic Hollywood glamour. The bodice showcased 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons, while a tulle-and-lace veil completed the timeless ensemble.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,” Sánchez explained to Vogue about her dress selection process.
She further elaborated on her inspiration: “I researched pictures of brides in the 1950s. I wanted to reflect back, and I saw Sophia Loren and her hands were like this and she was in high lace, up to the neck, and I said, ‘That’s it. That’s the dress.’”
The bride acknowledged that her choice represented a break with expectations: “It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect â but it’s very much me. I mean, it’s so elegant, it’s timeless.”

The wedding celebration proved to be a true fashion showcase, with Sánchez changing outfits multiple times throughout the three-day event. Beyond her ceremony gown, she wore a sweetheart neck, corseted dress inspired by Rita Hayworth’s film “Gilda” for the wedding dinner.
For the after-party festivities, she selected an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress that featured 600 yards of hand-sewn chain work and 175,000 crystals, which embellished the garment.
The fashion marathon began even before the main ceremony, with Sánchez choosing a Schiaparelli dress from their spring 2025 couture collection for the welcome dinner. The gold garment, designed by Daniel Roseberry, featured a corseted bodice embellished with gold beads and an off-the-shoulder neckline adorned with hand-embroidered green flowers.
Domenico Dolce shared insights into creating Sánchez’s main wedding gown, telling Vogue: “At the very beginning, with every wedding dress, I ask the lady, ‘Tell me what you dream,’ because I want it to be right, and she’s very fast, very dynamico. She was about to go to the moon, to space. Much was happening. It’s a very important day for the lady and the dress helps in this language.”
The couple exchanged vows on Friday, June 27, on the private island of San Giorgio in a ceremony held within a private church nestled in the island’s renowned gardens, away from public view. The exclusive guest list included numerous high-profile attendees who witnessed the union of two prominent figures from the worlds of media and technology.
