Elites Takeover Venice For Exclusive Party

Ivanka Trump took to Instagram on Thursday, giving her 7.8 million followers a peek into the star-studded lead-up to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s highly anticipated wedding in Venice, Italy.

While Ivanka and Jared are on hand for the festivities, the guest list includes a who’s-who of Hollywood and media elites, with Oprah Winfrey, the Kardashians, Orlando Bloom, and Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly among the expected attendees for the three-day wedding celebration.
The lavish affair, rumored to cost Bezos between $10 million and $20 million, will take place over multiple locations in Venice, with festivities kicking off on June 26 and concluding with a private ceremony on Saturday.
Bezos and Sanchez were seen leaving the Aman Hotel in Venice on Wednesday, drawing attention from locals frustrated by billionaires treating the historic city as a playground for their superyacht gatherings. But for the couple, it’s a celebration they’ve been building toward for months, following their high-profile engagement and globe-trotting appearances.
President Donald Trump was invited to the wedding but, according to the Wall Street Journal, could not attend due to scheduling conflicts, a rare skip as the former president’s family continues to maintain ties with America’s wealthiest circles.
The wedding underscores the enduring intersection between politics and celebrity culture, with Ivanka and Jared remaining prominent fixtures on the global stage even as Trump’s administration barrels through a packed domestic and foreign policy agenda.
For Ivanka, the moment is also a return to the public eye after maintaining a lower profile in the early months of her father’s second term. Her post was met with tens of thousands of likes within hours, as followers commented on the couple’s presence among the world’s power players and the glamour surrounding the Bezos-Sanchez union.
While the world watches the historic backdrop of Venice host one of the year’s most expensive weddings, the Trump-Kushner appearance is a reminder that, even amid political storms, the family’s ties to high society remain firmly intact.
