When the ultra-wealthy gather to celebrate, fashion takes center stage — and sometimes, the results are as outrageous as they are fascinating. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez kicked off their extravagant wedding festivities in the romantic city of Venice, Italy, and with them came a parade of A-list guests whose outfits left the internet buzzing with excitement, confusion, and a fair bit of judgment.

The event quickly turned into a runway of controversial couture, and online observers didn’t hold back in expressing their thoughts. Many wondered aloud if the theme was secretly a contest for the most outlandish look. Here’s a look at the fashion moments that had everyone talking — for better or worse.

Kim Kardashian stole the spotlight in a tight, snakeskin dress that featured glittering straps and a lace-up neckline. While the ensemble oozed confidence and high glamour, the internet’s reaction was far from unanimous. Katy Perry jumped into Kim’s Instagram comments with a cheeky, “Lemme borrow that dress!” But others weren’t as kind. “Didn’t she already wear this at some other event?” one fan questioned. Another lamented, “Is there anyone left who hasn’t seen a hyper-enhanced Kardashian body? No class, just go away.” Someone even joked, “Why does she look like she’s headed to a jungle-themed wedding?”

As with most Kardashian appearances, the family’s attendance was widely documented and shared. But despite their fame, or perhaps because of it, not everyone was impressed. “They look like the Addams Family. All that money, yet no sense of style,” scoffed one commenter.

Among the most surprising guests was Oprah Winfrey, the 71-year-old media icon who’s been vocal about using Ozempic to manage her weight. Oprah made her grand entrance in a floor-length burgundy and lavender gown, waving regally as she stepped onto a water taxi. The dress, however, received mixed reviews. “What was Oprah thinking with that dress?” asked one stunned observer. Another added, “She’s a billionaire and still can’t dress better than I do on a discount budget.” One particularly harsh comment called her outfit a “shmata” — Yiddish slang for an ugly rag. Someone else remarked, “Ozempic didn’t give you a body for that, Oprah,” while another cruelly noted, “You can only suck your stomach in for so long.”

The bride herself, Lauren Sánchez, brought high fashion drama in an off-the-shoulder Schiaparelli gown, featuring a corseted waist and floral accents. It was unmistakably couture — and unmistakably divisive. Critics were ruthless. “Gross and pathetic,” one wrote, while another chimed in with, “So tacky.” One person quipped, “She looks like a floor lamp,” while someone else asked, “Is she wearing a curtain?” A more cutting take read, “She looks like she can’t even move!” The general consensus? Wealth doesn’t always buy taste. As one commenter put it, “Why do rich people wear such ugly clothes? They ruin their faces, then spend a fortune on horrible outfits.”

Bill Gates and his partner Paula Hurd provided a rare dose of understated elegance. While other guests opted for head-turning statements, the couple played it cool and classic. Gates wore a basic black suit with a crisp white shirt, resembling a tech CEO at a conference more than a wedding guest. Paula’s look complemented his in its simplicity. Their low-key style didn’t spark controversy — but in the whirlwind of bold fashion choices, it may have come across as a bit underwhelming.

Ivanka Trump made an appearance too, even though her father, Donald Trump, apparently did not score an invite. Dressed in a white tank top and a matching skirt with a red floral print, she arrived with husband Jared Kushner in tow. The internet, however, remained unimpressed. “It looks very tatty,” one person remarked. Another commented, “Love her, but this is a miss.” Others criticized the fit: “One size too small, but good concept.” Another suggestion: “Maybe if it weren’t so tight.” And in a parting jab, one user summed it up with, “Not a great look for the Trump clan.”

Kylie Jenner, 27, went full fashion-forward with a sheer marigold lace dress and oversized black sunglasses. It certainly caught attention — but not all of it was positive. Once photos of Kylie and Kendall Jenner started circulating online, the backlash was swift. “Look at all that plastic,” wrote one critic. Another commented bluntly, “Both are talentless.” A jab at their timing added, “The Jenner sisters show up like they got the invite in a group chat.”

Model Vittoria Ceretti, arriving with Leonardo DiCaprio, also sparked controversy in a textured, stitch-detailed gown. The 27-year-old Italian beauty couldn’t escape online ridicule. “That dress is a mess,” someone declared. Another mocked, “Looks like it was made for an ironing board.” Others chimed in with comments like “Thrift store find” and “No class, patchwork disaster.” One commenter summed it up with dark humor: “Hope he gets her a juice box for dinner.”

Even Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t escape scrutiny. Wearing a navy suit with a beige polo and his signature baseball cap pulled low, he looked like he’d wandered in by accident. “Leo is really trying to hide,” one person noted. Another quipped, “Looks like someone’s lost grandpa.” A final jab read, “Leo, in that black cap again, thinking it makes him invisible.”

Then came Kris Jenner, who turned heads in a black dress with exaggerated puffed sleeves and 3D rose details. It was dramatic, to say the least. But the reactions? Predictably brutal. “Yay, the Kartrashians are here!” someone joked. Another added, “She brought her new face!” Critiques of her appearance continued: “All that money and still can’t fix the nose.”

In the end, the Bezos-Sánchez wedding was more than just a union of two powerful people — it became a full-blown fashion spectacle. Social media erupted with debates over whether the outfits were daringly chic or disastrously over-the-top. As images continue to make the rounds, one thing’s certain: these looks are here to stay in public memory. So what’s your verdict? High fashion or hot mess? Join the conversation — and maybe keep a snakeskin dress handy, just in case.
