Lauren Sanchez’s Fashion Flop Exposes Her Closet’s Greatest Secret

BBG News

Lauren Sanchez is nothing if not a fashion innovator.

This week, the ex-TV host who is now engaged to Jeff Bezos took her journey into space, dressed in a uniquely tailored space suit from the New York fashion brand Monse.

Sanchez, aged 55, working alongside Fernando Garcia and Lauren Kim (the creative directors of Oscar de la Renta), have teamed up to create a new take on flight gear. This innovative design has been likened to a blend of Star Trek-inspired attire at the top and Elvis Presley’s Vegas-era outfits below, marking another high-profile fashion venture for the soon-to-be bride of the world’s second-wealthiest man.

Since May 2023, Sanchez appears committed to making 2025 – the year of her Venice wedding – distinctive, transcending not just aviation history limits but also establishing herself as the leading fashion influencer of that year.

Sanchez’s fashion endeavor began shortly after the start of the year, as she joined the tech tycoon in the front row during Donald Trump’s second presidential inauguration, a well-prepared event that lasted for 11 minutes.

Sanchez opted for an eye-catching Alexander McQueen white pantsuit. This bold choice didn’t just pique Mark Zuckerberg’s interest with her daring peekaboo bra hidden beneath the structured blazer, but also left the entire fashion media stunned. Amidst the Trump family’s fashion spectacle, they were taken aback by one of the most unconventional outfits ever seen at a presidential inauguration.

In about two months, Sanchez once more drew attention to herself at a gathering where she might have easily blended into the background.

Appearing at the Vanity Fair Oscars event dressed in full bridal attire served as a somewhat overt hint to the well-known fashion icons, implying that the ex-helicopter pilot was moving towards marriage with Bezos.

In a strapless white satin gown featuring a mermaid skirt and a tail of feathered train, Sanchez confidently displayed a figure that highlighted her continually narrowing waistline and expanding bust.

However, it seems the latest astronaut on Earth might have realized that no matter how substantial Jeff’s projected $200 billion budget is, it still has its limitations.

After six long years of pushing the boundaries with bespoke fashion, I find myself pondering if perhaps Senorita Sanchez has begun to grasp the idea that, in terms of stylish innovation, there might still be a few untouched areas left for her to explore.

I think she’d decided that her breakout moment was to be at this year’s Breakthrough Awards.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I can confidently say that the prestigious event, often referred to as the ‘Oscars of Science,’ served as a perfect platform for me to seamlessly blend my two passions: aviation and fashion. This unique occasion offered me an excellent chance to prove that I am not just a decorative element in someone’s life, but a multifaceted individual with distinct interests and achievements.

Surrounded by an illustrious gathering of A-list celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Lily Collins, Katy Perry, and Alicia Keys, Sanchez turned heads in a sensual red silk gown. She asserted that the dress, originally designed for Sophia Loren in 1994 by John Galliano for Christian Dior, was intended not for her but for the iconic Sophia Loren herself.

Sanchez expressed her pride,” she shared on Instagram, “by repurposing it during an event focused on surpassing limits and celebrating greatness.

By donning discarded items once belonging to a legendary star from Hollywood’s Golden Era, Sanchez captured everyone’s attention and graced the next day’s fashion news with his appearance.

It’s not unusual, on the red carpet, to delve into the archives for inspiration. However, in recent times, there’s been a noticeable surge in this practice as celebrities appear to be grappling more with defining their personal style narratives.

Kim Kardashian, who was once viewed as an outcast by the high-end fashion community, demonstrated a significant change in her status when she appeared at the renowned Met Gala in New York City in 2022, wearing Marilyn Monroe’s sparkling Bob Mackie beige gown – the very dress that Monroe wore to sing for President John F. Kennedy on his 45th birthday in 1962.

A unique outdoor dressing room setup on the Met steps, designed specifically for a 44-year-old reality star, allowed her to gracefully put on a gown before walking down the red carpet. This event was a significant victory for a woman who was once criticized as a minor celebrity but now holds such influence that she could take a five-million-dollar dress out of its temperature-controlled museum vault just by asking.

In recent years, it seems that instead of creating bold new fashion trends like some other stars have done, Hollywood has been more inclined to copy styles from the past rather than setting new trends for the current era.

At this year’s Oscars, Mikey Madison, aged 26, chose to wear a striking 1956 dress designed by Christian Dior himself. This decision represented a bold declaration by the relatively unknown actress, leveraging the immense power of fashion to argue for her cinematic fame. Despite minimal backing in her resume, she aimed to prove her potential stardom with this stylish move.

Honestly, I can’t help but admire Sanchez’s dedication to the retro vibe. Unlike some others who might switch things up after an enchanting Cinderella-esque night, she seems to have found her timeless style and is sticking with it, making each appearance a nostalgic delight.

The Galliano gown was obtained from Timeless Vixen, a vintage dealer based in LA. It’s believed that it passed through Kelly Johnson, Sanchez’s long-time stylist, and ended up being owned by her at an incredibly affordable price of $7,000 compared to the Bezos budget.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must admit that Sanchez’s grand entrance was marred by a series of unfortunate incidents. Instead of solidifying her reputation, these mishaps exposed some minor flaws in an otherwise polished plan.

Stepping onto the red carpet with seemingly insufficient preparation, she made a faux pas by confusing Sophia Loren with Raquel Welch, a completely different screen legend. To add fuel to the fire, as reported by the Daily Mail, she went on to attribute her icon status to the wrong woman!

The error was glaringly obvious, reminiscent of a beginner’s work, and it served as an unexpected blunder for someone who seems to be striving hard to project her authority – not just in fashion, but in all aspects.
