Wedding bells are ringing for bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez, and as her nuptials to Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos loom, many are eager for more details on their big day.
However, since the two got engaged nearly two years ago, they’ve stayed silent on their plans.
Bezos popped the question to Sánchez in May 2023, while they were on vacation in the South of France.
When Bezos proposed to her, Sánchez admitted that she ‘blacked out,’ as he hid the ring box under her pillow after they had dinner on his yacht, per Vogue.
Their engagement came just four years after they went public with their relationship in early 2019.
Last Christmas, it was rumored that the two would get married and have a lavish ceremony in Aspen, Colorado, but Bezos shut down the chatter, and they have continued to keep their wedding plans under wraps.
But even without a date given to the public, Sánchez has dropped a few hints that she’s started to plan, revealing during a November 2024 appearance on TODAY that she was using social media platform Pinterest to get inspiration for her wedding.
However, what she hasn’t yet revealed is anything related to her potential dress, hair and makeup look for the presumed weekend full of festivities – but some bridal experts have predictions on what the former Good Day LA host could be sporting based on recent trends.

Barbara Letizia, a New York City-based bridal stylist and designer, believes that Sánchez could go for a ‘mermaid-style gown’ complete with a ‘long, dramatic train’ for the ceremony.
‘I see her in a gown that accentuates her curves,’ Letizia told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘I think it will have some sort of beading and crystals,’ she continued. ‘She may even have a corseted bodice with a sheer or lace element because she has worn similar styles to past events.’
For the reception, Letizia said that she could see the pilot wearing something that was ‘fitted and sparkly,’ or even a dress that has a ‘leg slit.’
As a bridal stylist, Letizia would encourage the bride-to-be to wear a gown that is fitted in the hips and bodice to show off her ‘amazing figure.’
‘Either a very thin strap or a strapless neckline would look great on her – especially a sweetheart neckline!’ the designer shared.
However, although Sánchez’s dress may have a certain look to it, it’s unclear what designer she will go with – if any.
During her November 2023 Vogue interview, she admitted that there were ‘so many incredible designers’ to choose from, naming Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, and Valentino as some of her favorites.

Though, she seems to be favoring Alexander McQueen as of late, as she wore a crisp white pantsuit to Donald Trump’s inauguration, complete with a lacey corset that was exposed by a deep v-neck.
Kate Loscalzo, lead bridal stylist and founder of Something White Styling, told DailyMail.com that she believes that Sánchez will go with a gown by Oscar de la Renta, or something custom by Galia Lahav.
‘I could also see her going with a unique textured gown by Vera Wang, but there is no doubt that she’ll have an impeccable lineup of looks and outfit changes throughout the wedding weekend,’ Loscalzo told DailyMail.com exclusively.
She shared similar sentiments as Letizia.
‘Based on her personal style, she seems like she is willing to try new things and make a statement with her outfits, and her wedding wardrobe will be no exception,’ she continued.
The stylist revealed that if she were to style Sánchez for the big day, she would go with a ‘corseted, liquid satin gown with a fitted or column skirt and a subtle slit.’
‘This would accentuate her petite figure and define her waistline without overwhelming her,’ she shared.
‘A dramatic veil or cape could add a touch of drama for the ceremony. Later, she could change into a glitzy mini dress for the reception.’

This falls in line with some of the recent bridal trends that Loscalzo has been seeing herself, like removable dress elements such as sleeves and overskirts, as well as ‘castlecore dresses,’ which feature corset bodices and ‘layered fabrics like chiffon or sultry lace that feel medieval like and romantic.’
Of course, another huge part of her look will be the makeup, which might not be that different from her everyday, neutral-glam style.
‘Based on Lauren’s signature makeup style, I anticipate she’ll go for a look that feels ultra polished and timelessly glamorous,’ Brielle Bahr, an Atlanta-based bridal makeup artist, told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘She tends to favor a softly sculpted complexion with a luminous finish, complemented by full, fluttery lashes and a subtly defined eye,’ Bahr continued.
‘Given the elegance of a bridal moment, I imagine she’ll enhance these signature elements while keeping the overall look balanced… something refined yet striking.’
She noted that currently, a lot of brides are opting for looks that ‘feel effortlessly radiant,’ with eye makeup that ‘enhances their natural shape and eye color’ without being too overpowering, as well as skin that appears ‘fresh yet perfected.’
Bahr imagines Sánchez going for ‘an elevated version’ of what she usually likes to wear.
She added that she really liked Sánchez’s makeup that she wore at last year’s Met Gala, explaining that it felt quite bridal
‘As inspiration for her wedding, I’d opt for a similar approach while adding a bit more emphasis and dimension to her eyes to enhance them even further for photos,’ Bahr suggested
‘For Lauren specifically, I’d recommend staying true to her signature features, but refining everything for a bridal setting,’ the makeup artist offered.
‘Based on Lauren’s signature makeup style, I anticipate she’ll go for a look that feels ultra polished and timelessly glamorous,’ Brielle Bahr told DailyMail.com exclusively
‘A foundation with a radiant, long-wearing finish, softly sculpted cheeks, and a touch of liquid or cream highlighter to catch the light in photos.’
She added that she really liked Sánchez’s makeup that she wore at last year’s Met Gala, explaining that it felt quite bridal.
For the 2024 Met Gala, where the theme was The Garden of Time, the mom-of-three wore a custom gown made by Oscar de la Renta, which featured a tight black corset bodice with big mosaic pearl and shattered mirrored pieces on the bottom of the dress.
Her makeup was soft and sculpted, featuring light pink cheeks and a neutral, matte lip.
‘As inspiration for her wedding, I’d opt for a similar approach while adding a bit more emphasis and dimension to her eyes to enhance them even further for photos,’ Bahr suggested.
‘A subtle smoked-out liner with lifted definition would still give that wide-eyed effect she gravitates towards while also maintaining an elegant, bridal feel,’ the makeup artist shared.
