After three days of over-the-top glamour, champagne toasts, and star-studded celebrations, the final curtain has come down on Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s headline-making wedding in Venice.
As the sun rose over the canals on Sunday morning, A-listers began heading out of the floating city, bidding farewell to what many are calling the “wedding of the century.”
Kylie, Kendall, Leo, and Orlando Among the First to Depart
Leading the celebrity exit were sisters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Orlando Bloom, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Kylie turned heads in a bold leopard print outfit, clutching the hand of her seven-year-old daughter Stormi as the two boarded a water taxi.
Kendall opted for effortless cool with a tank top and capri pants, completing her look with the latest trend: jelly sandals.
Hot on their heels were Hollywood heavyweights Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Orlando, grinning ear to ear, was spotted hopping into a boat in an unbuttoned shirt over a vest and layered necklaces.
Leo, ever the master of undercover, pulled his baseball cap low and threw a hoodie over his head while girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti stunned in a mini dress and chic sunglasses.
Orlando Enjoys Single Life While Leo Keeps a Low Profile
Orlando seemed to be embracing the single life, just days after news broke of his split from fiancée Katy Perry.
He’d been spotted cruising around with celebrity friends—including DiCaprio and Tom Brady—and sharing cocktails poolside.
The mystery woman he was seen with earlier in the weekend turned out to be Jamie Mizrahi, stylist to Katy and Meghan Markle.
Kris Jenner and Oprah Exit Arm-in-Arm With Style
Also spotted leaving Venice in style was Kris Jenner, arm-in-arm with Oprah Winfrey.
Kris wore a jungle-print co-ord while Oprah looked elegant in all-white, walking alongside Gayle King and Kris’ longtime partner Corey Gamble.
Gayle, a guest on Bezos’ Blue Origin flight, sported a striped dress and a wide smile.
Some Stars Left Before the Party Was Over
Interestingly, Kim and Khloe Kardashian made a quiet early exit on Saturday.
They left before the final night’s festivities wrapped up, slipping away by boat in casual outfits.
Bill Gates and his girlfriend Paula Hurd also made their departure, dressed in matching all-black looks, proving even tech moguls know how to travel in style.
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner Wrap Up Their Italian Getaway
Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were seen leaving with their kids after arriving earlier in the week.
They were joined by Jared’s brother Joshua and sister-in-law Karlie Kloss, who also attended the glamorous event.
Their low-key goodbye marked the end of a high-profile appearance in the heart of Venice.
Behind the Glitz: Billionaire Protest and a Secret Marriage
While Bezos and Sanchez were busy celebrating love, protestors gathered at Santa Lucia railway station, holding inflatable crocodiles and signs that read “Ordered, Shipped, Delivered, Rejected.”
The demonstration was organized by the No Space For Bezos group, pushing back against the billionaire’s presence.
Meanwhile, a source close to the couple revealed that Bezos and Sanchez were already legally married in the U.S. before the Venice ceremony.
The Friday event, held under Italian law, was a symbolic celebration rather than a legal wedding.
They even had a prenup in place to safeguard Bezos’ $244 billion fortune.
Sanchez Dazzled With Diamond Upgrade and Touching Wedding Traditions
Sanchez wore a lace wedding dress inspired by Sophia Loren’s iconic look in Houseboat, and paired it with “something borrowed”—Dolce earrings—and “something blue,” a memento from her Blue Origin space flight.
Her engagement ring was temporarily moved to her right hand to make room for a jaw-dropping 35-carat diamond worth $10 million.
The Ceremony Was a Sensory Spectacle
The couple spared no detail when it came to their celebration.
Guests were serenaded by trumpets, violins, and a Gospel choir as they arrived.
The choir returned after the vows to sing Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love,” filling the air with music and emotion.
Opera singer Matteo Bocelli opened the reception with a touching rendition of I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You, stepping in for his father Andrea, who was away on tour.
Sanchez Made a Fashion Statement Before Saying “I Do”
Before the ceremony, Sanchez made a glamorous appearance outside the Aman Hotel wearing a Dior puff-sleeve suit, oversized shades, and a headscarf.
Cameras caught a glimpse of her dazzling new diamond—an upgrade from the original $3 million pink sparkler Bezos proposed with aboard his $500 million superyacht two years ago.
A Grand Farewell to a Weekend of Extravagance
With all the glitz, glamour, and globe-spanning guest list, the Bezos-Sanchez wedding was far from ordinary.
From secret pre-weddings to diamond upgrades, star-studded brunches to symbolic vows, it was a fairytale weekend only billionaires could pull off.
And as the guests drifted out of Venice, one thing was clear—this wedding will be remembered for a long, long time.
