Lauren Sánchez's dress goes missing just days after tying the knot with Jeff Bezos!

Just days after exchanging vows with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in a three-day extravaganza in Venice, Lauren Sánchez is making headlines again—but this time, it’s not about her breathtaking couture looks.

According to reports, one of her 27 designer dresses has mysteriously gone missing, prompting whispers of an unexpected wardrobe heist amid one of the world’s most lavish weddings.The couple tied the knot on Friday, June 27, in a private chapel on the island of San Giorgio, surrounded by high-profile guests and layers of security. Sánchez, a former journalist and media personality, turned the long weekend into a fashion spectacle, donning a carousel of couture gowns from Dolce & Gabbana, Oscar de la Renta, and Schiaparelli.

But as the celebrations ended and the couple departed Venice for their honeymoon in Sicily, one of Sánchez’s meticulously curated dresses never made it back.

What happened to the dress?

Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera was first to report the mystery, suggesting the missing dress may have been stolen by an unknown woman who allegedly gatecrashed the event. Described as “elegantly dressed,” the woman reportedly bypassed security and mingled with guests before being removed.

Security was reportedly so overwhelmed by unexpected arrivals that Italy’s anti-terrorism unit, Digos, was called in to reinforce control on the island during the ceremony.While sources close to the couple confirm that a dress has indeed gone missing, they deny that it was stolen or that any formal police report has been filed. The dress was believed to be stored at the ultra-exclusive Aman Hotel, where Sánchez and Bezos were staying—suggesting it disappeared sometime during or after the festivities.

For now, those involved are hopeful it will “turn up,” as no legal complaint has been made.

Wedding of the century

Sánchez’s wedding wardrobe was nothing short of cinematic. Her main gown—a high-neck mermaid dress by Dolce & Gabbana was inspired by Sophia Loren’s bridal look in the 1958 film Houseboat. The dress featured hand-appliquéd Italian lace and 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons, paired with a delicate tulle-and-lace veil. “It went from ‘I want a sexy, modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’” she told Vogue.

“It’s a departure from what people expect, but it’s very much me.”And that was just the beginning. For the rehearsal dinner, she dazzled in a gold Schiaparelli gown adorned with hand-embroidered green flowers. For the wedding dinner, she switched to a Rita Hayworth-inspired Dolce & Gabbana gown. The night ended with Sánchez wearing an Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress featuring 175,000 hand-sewn crystals and 600 yards of chain, shimmering into the early morning hours.

Glamour, chaos, and a missing gown

Though representatives have played down the incident, Corriere della Sera also claimed that a vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress, possibly worn by Sánchez or guest Ivanka Trump, was torn and caught fire at one of the post-wedding parties. Those claims have been denied.The wedding itself, said to have cost between €40 million and €48 million, was packed with themed events: pajama parties, foam parties, elegant dinners, and even a Gatsby-themed soirée.

Yet amid all the opulence, it’s the mystery of the missing gown that’s become the most unexpected twist in a weekend defined by luxury.For now, Sánchez and Bezos are continuing their honeymoon in Taormina, but the fashion world remains curious: Where did the dress go? And will it ever resurface?One thing is certain: when the bride packs nearly 30 couture looks for a wedding, losing even one feels like a plot point straight out of a movie.
