They departed the Aman Hotel aboard a water taxi, affectionately sharing a kiss as they made their way through the shimmering canals—a moment captured against Venice’s iconic scenery .
Held in an intimate cloister adjacent to the Madonna dell'Orto church in the Cannaregio district, the event welcomed around 200 star-studded guests. Notables included Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, the Kardashians, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Queen Rania of Jordan, and fashion luminaries like Diane von Furstenberg and Domenico Dolce .
Lauren dazzled in a golden, off-the-shoulder satin midi from Schiaparelli’s Spring-Summer 2025 Haute Couture line—featuring a cinched corset waist and intricate baroque embroidery—and styled her hair in a high ponytail with delicate face-framing tendrils . Bezos opted for timeless elegance in a classic black suit and crisp white shirt, finishing the look with aviator sunglasses .
Guests adhered to a tasteful floral-inspired dress code: Kendall Jenner in printed florals, Kylie Jenner in gold lace, Kris Jenner in black, while Kim and Khloé made striking entrances in snake-print and sultry black ensembles respectively .
Despite the opulent scene, the couple aimed for a mindful celebration. The event was mostly supported by local vendors, guests were encouraged to donate to Venetian cultural and environmental preservation in lieu of gifts, and the venue was chosen with sustainability in mind .
However, the celebrations have not been without controversy. Vigilant protests have emerged throughout Venice under banners such as “No Space for Bezos,” with activists criticizing the extravagance amid concerns over overtourism and rising housing costs .
Nevertheless, the evening’s tone remained celebratory. Covered by heightened security, including police on jet skis, the atmosphere balanced grandeur and responsibility as the couple and their guests toasted the beginning of what promises to be an unforgettable weekend .
