Stars are flocking to Venice for the nuptials of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, brushing off local discontent over the extravagant event in the overcrowded city. The A-list guests appeared undeterred on Thursday as festivities began.
The three-day celebration, projected by Reuters to cost over $63 million, has been kept under wraps, with the couple’s representatives remaining silent on details or the guest list.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, both present at the bachelorette celebration, were observed elegantly stepping onto water taxis on Thursday, joined by fellow Kardashian sibling Khloé.
Later in the afternoon, they were observed engaging in lively conversation with acclaimed actor Orlando Bloom, who made a solitary appearance in Venice, his romance with Katy Perry having officially concluded.
On Thursday evening, Orlando Bloom and the reality television luminaries were observed, impeccably dressed in glamorous attire, gracefully embarking on water taxis, presumably making their way to one of the grand inaugural festivities leading up to the wedding celebration.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner were also observed, resplendent in their stylish ensembles, making their way toward the same lavish gathering.
Lifelong confidantes Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King were observed making a grand entrance in Venice, and after taking time to rejuvenate, they elegantly stepped onto water taxis, poised for the festivities ahead.
Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady made a discreet arrival in Venice, clad in a relaxed hooded sweatshirt and a stylish cap, only to later don sophisticated party attire, ready to join the opulent celebrations.
Renowned fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg was observed making a stylish entrance, adorned in an elegant, breezy pant suit, as she confidently proceeded toward the water taxis upon her arrival in Venice.
First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner made a spectacular entrance in Venice earlier this week, captivating onlookers as they were seen gracefully navigating a shimmering canal in resplendent attire on Thursday evening, exuding an air of elegance and allure.
And singer Usher Raymond was also spotted on a taxi boat.
Details about the wedding day remain scarce, with organizers tightly guarding information regarding potential venues. Media reports suggest that multiple locations are reserved, with a final choice to be made based on factors like protests and weather, according to an individual close to Venice City Hall.
On Tuesday, The Guardian revealed that the couple relocated their wedding venue, citing safety concerns after threats of a bizarre protest involving inflatable crocodiles.
The wedding has split Venice, with activists condemning it as billionaire Bezos's exploitation of the city, even as locals grapple with over-tourism, soaring housing costs, and the constant threat of climate-driven flooding.
Officials in Venice have defended the wedding, arguing that it aligns with the city’s tradition of welcoming everyone from popes and emperors to ordinary visitors throughout its history.
Last week, activists in Venice scheduled protests for June 26, 27, and 28, the anticipated dates of the wedding, over concerns about possible disruptions.
