Lauren Sanchez shines in $9,000 designer gown alongside Jeff Bezos at charity gala

Lauren Sanchez made a striking appearance alongside her fiancé Jeff Bezos at the Kering Foundation's Caring for Women dinner on Monday. Held at The Pool in New York City during New York Fashion Week, the event supports organisations dedicated to ending gender-based violence.

The 54-year-old former news anchor wore an off-the-shoulder Oscar De La Renta gown, priced at $9,000. Her dress featured appliquéd velvet and guipure lace. Sanchez, smiling radiantly, posed with Bezos, 60, as they made a grand entrance on the red carpet.

The gala also saw the presence of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Dakota Johnson, who supported the charity event. Sanchez and Bezos were photographed with other notable figures including Ashley Graham, Priyanka Chopra, and Alessandra Ambrosio. Prior to the event, the couple arrived in New York City via helicopter. Sanchez was seen piloting the aircraft before they were transported in a bulletproof car surrounded by Bezos’ security team.

In recent weeks, Sanchez and Bezos enjoyed a sun-soaked trip in Italy with high-profile guests such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Katy Perry. The couple’s relationship was first revealed by the National Enquirer in January 2019, shortly before Bezos' divorce from his wife Mackenzie Scott and Sanchez’s split from her husband Patrick Whitesell.

Bezos, the world’s third-richest man with an estimated net worth of $165 billion, proposed to Sanchez in May 2023 on his mega-yacht. Sanchez shared in a Vogue interview that she was overwhelmed by the size of her pink diamond engagement ring, stating she “blacked out” upon first seeing it.

Sanchez recently engaged in social media fun, sharing a viral Instagram reel that humorously speculated on Bezos’ sleepwear, with nearly 11 million views.
