Lauren Sanchez poses in a dramatic cape dress and pearl earrings at the Starlight Ball

Lauren Sanchez caused a stir at the presidential inauguration on Monday. The media personality attended the special occasion with her future husband, Jeff Bezos, and made headlines for her all-white look. The former journalist also attended the inaugural ball celebrating Donald Trump’s presidency.

The celebrity couple spent some quality time in Washington, D.C., ahead of the inauguration, attending several events. The final ball was the Starlight Ball, and Lauren decided to step out in a dramatic ensemble paired with chandelier earrings adorned with stunning pearls.

Lauren posed for a few photos as she finished getting ready for the big night. She wore a peach-colored chiffon cape dress by Dolce & Gabbana and statement earrings by Lorraine Schwartz and matching rings. The media personality also sported glamorous makeup, including a glossy pink lip.

Lauren sparked mixed reactions online after being spotted at the inauguration, where she wore an Alexander McQueen pantsuit paired with a lace bra and minimal jewelry, a look she’s worn twice before other occasions.

She wore the all-white ensemble to the Forbes Power Women’s Summit 2024 in September and to the NY Times DealBook event in December with Bezos. The philanthropist seems to opt for sustainable fashion for some of her outfits.

Lauren attended a candlelit dinner before the inauguration, wearing a shimmering black dress by Dolce & Gabbana with a sweetheart neckline, mermaid skirt and train. “Magical evening,” she wrote on social media, sharing some photos of her look that evening.

She recently spoke about how many people associate her with Bezos. “I’m in this room with all these influential, powerful women,” she said at the Forbes event. “I look around and say ‘Whoa,’ and it’s not lost on me that most of you know me as Lauren Sánchez, comma, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée.” “I understand, but I can choose to do something, or I can choose to do nothing,” she said. “And I choose to do something.”
