Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos held a lavish wedding in Venice, Italy, which featured multiple high-end gowns by designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Oscar de la Renta, with the event reportedly costing up to $56 million. The wedding, covered by Vogue and attended by numerous celebrities, sparked controversy and criticism from public figures including journalist Katie Couric, who called Lauren's wedding dress "tacky" and likened the style to the 1980s' conspicuous consumption.

Additionally, political commentator Megyn Kelly criticized the wedding as an ostentatious display of wealth, suggesting the couple orchestrated events to garner media attention.
