Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos have been seen for the first time since their opulent Venetian wedding.
The smiling couple stepped out Saturday morning in casual outfits after their Friday evening celebration on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The main wedding reception is set to be held today in the Arsenale, a historic complex surrounded by fortified walls on the eastern side of the city.
Bezos was seen clad in a black tux and bowtie on his way to the altar yesterday. Sánchez, meanwhile, wore a mermaid-style Dolce & Gabbana gown complete with lace long sleeves, a corset top, and buttons straight down the center.
The nuptials are expected to have cost between $46 and $55 million, which is unlikely to make a dent in Bezos’s $231 billion net worth.
Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, Sydney Sweeney, and Orlando Bloom were among the attendees at what is being dubbed “the wedding of the century.”
Still, Venice locals continue to protest the presence of the American couple and their wealthy friends amid the swell of overtourism in the city.

Protestors light flares on the Rialto Bridge
Protests in Venice appear to have stepped up a notch on the final day of the couple’s festivities.
Protestors hung their “No Space for Bezos” off the Rialto Bridge Saturday and lit colorful flares as gondolas and water taxis drifted below.
Huge crowds were then seen marching through the streets with banners depicting Bezos and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
The city’s deputy mayor told the BBC the activists as “narcissists” and insisted the wedding was the “high-quality tourism” Venice needs.
Tonight’s party was moved further from the city centre for security reasons.

More reaction to Sánchez’s wedding dress
Sánchez’s wedding dress drew mixed reactions.
The Dolce & Gabbana gown was described by the bride as the most conservative across the chest dress she’s ever worn.
And people certainly took notice.
“Lauren Sanchez wedding dress looks horrible especially the buttons all way down front,” one person wrote.
“Lauren Sanchez turns lingerie into a wedding dress. You knew she would,” another said.
“You’re telling me lauren sanchez married one of the richest men in the world but her wedding dress looks like it was bought from shein,” someone else wrote.
But not all of the reaction was negative.
“Lauren Sánchez becoming Mrs. Bezos in an elegant Venice wedding sounds beautiful! It’s cool that she chose a ‘conservative dress’ that was different from her usual style for such a big day,” someone else noted.
“Lauren Sanchez dress was stunning,” another shared.

A safety pin sticks out of Sánchez’s wedding gown
A closer look at Sánchez’s wedding dress revealed a safety pin near her underarm.
Looking at the image she posted on her Instagram, a safety pin appears to pop out of the dress just below her underarm on the left-hand side (which is actually her right side).
It’s not clear if there was a last-minute snag that led to the need for the pin.
