Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Have Glam Date Night at Kering Dinner: 'Nothing Like Getting All Dressed Up'

Lauren Sánchez brings the shine!

On Monday, Sept. 9, the journalist and philanthropist, 54, attended the third annual Kering Foundation Caring for Women dinner in a long-sleeve, off-the-shoulder black mermaid gown that featured a low back and intricate lace floral detailing.

Sánchez paired the dress with a chic updo and large, sparkling silver earrings.

Although her fiance Jeff Bezos, 60, didn’t walk the red carpet, he reunited with Sánchez at an event in New York, where the pair posed with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Alessandra Ambrosio, among others.

“Nothing like dressing up and enjoying good company to calm your pre-book launch jitters!” Sanchez wrote on her Instagram as she shared photos of her look. “Honored to support @keringfoundation’s amazing cause with the amazing @salmahayek tonight. Feeling grateful and excited for tomorrow. 🚀”

In a new interview with Ella published on Monday, September 9, Sánchez discussed her style choices with editor-in-chief Nina Garcia.

“I love fashion and I love Latin American culture,” she said. “I dress Latin. Think Sofía Vergara. Think Salma Hayek. I really stay committed to expressing my true, authentic self through fashion, and some people really love it and some people really hate it, and that’s okay.”

Garcia replied that she should be celebrating herself — and said she really believed that, to which Sánchez said, “And celebrate all Latin Americans.”

Sánchez and Bezos caused a stir in May when the couple attended their first Met Gala. She wore a custom Oscar de la Renta dress with a “broken glass” inspired floral skirt. Vogue reported at the time. It is partially inspired by Louis Comfort Tiffany’s iconic glass, according to the outlet.

Speaking about the dress ahead of her red carpet debut, Sánchez told the magazine: “In my mind it’s definitely a metaphor for life, because it’s a little bit about all the broken pieces you have in life and putting those pieces back together.”

“It’s not just a dress,” she added. “It really is a work of art.”
