Stars Hit the Streets of Venice Ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Wedding

The stars are soaking up the sights of Venezia.

Several celebrities hit the streets of Venice, Italy, to explore the stores and historical charm of the Floating City ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding later tonight on Friday, June 27. Among the stars who stepped out were Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Sydney Sweeney, Vittoria Ceretti, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Gayle King, Usher, Jenn Goicoechea, Bill Gates and Paula Hurd.

Khloé — who is celebrating her 41st birthday today — was spotted arm-in-arm with her mother, Kris, 69. Khloé wore a long black dress while Kris wore a leopard-print dress with tie details from Dolce & Gabbana.

Shopping solo was newly single Sweeney, who called off her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March. The Euphoria star, 27, walked around wearing a black V-neck jumpsuit. The silk outfit features a scarf tied at the back.

Italian model Ceretti, 27, attended Bezos and Sánchez’s glam welcome party on Thursday, June 27, with her boyfriend, Leonardo DiCaprio, 50. For her outing on Friday, she was seen alone wearing a floral midi slip dress.

Sunglasses were the most popular accessory of the day, with Khloé, Kris, Sweeney, Ceretti and more celebrities sporting dark shades for the mostly sunny day.

Newly single Bloom, 48 — who arrived solo in Venice shortly after splitting from Katy Perry, 40, after nearly a decade together — wore a black T-shirt and black cap. Winfrey, 71, was seen speaking to Bloom that day, placing her hands on the actor’s shoulders during their conversation. She wore a gray outfit and a pair of shades.

Also spotted was King, 70, in a matching workout set.

Several couples also hit the streets. Usher, 46, and his wife strolled around together in casual attire, while Gates, 69, and his serious girlfriend coordinated in black outfits.

Other celebrity guests spotted in Venice this week include Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Diane von Fürstenberg, Karlie Kloss, Corey Gamble, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Ellie Goulding and Queen Rania of Jordan.

Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, threw a star-studded welcome party in a closed cloister adjacent to the Madonna dell’Orto church on Thursday night to kick off their wedding festivities.

Several of the couple’s many celebrity guests were spotted making their way into boats en route to the soirée. A source tells PEOPLE the guests arrived in a convoy of about 30 boats. Amid security concerns, police patrolled the area, including the water on jet skis. Bezos and Sánchez were among the last to arrive, and security created a cordon around the couple to shield them from onlookers.

A source shared an update with The Associated Press earlier this month, stating that Bezos and Sánchez are planning to source 80% of the provisions for the wedding from local vendors including pastry maker Rosa Salva and Murano glass studio Laguna B.

On their wedding invitation, which was sent out in May, the pair asked their guests to forgo gifts and instead listed three Venetian charities that they will donate to on their behalf.

“We are excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts,” their wedding invitation read. “Instead we’re making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice.”

“Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city’s irreplaceable cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions,” the invitation continued.

Bezos and Sánchez went public with their relationship in 2019. Four years later, Bezos proposed to the philanthropist with a 30-carat engagement ring in May 2023. The pair were on vacation in the South of France when the billionaire popped the question, and Sánchez was photographed rocking her cushion-cut engagement ring as she spent time with her fiancé on his $500 million yacht named Koru soon after.

A source previously told PEOPLE that they were “on cloud nine — so happy and madly in love” after their engagement news.

“Her engagement ring is beyond stunning. And huge! She keeps playing with it and looking at it,” the insider added. “You can tell she loves it.”

Since getting engaged, the duo has kept their wedding plans mostly secret, though they have shared small details here and there. Sánchez revealed in a November 2024 appearance on the Today show that she had been using Pinterest to figure out what she wants for the ceremony.

“I’m just like every other bride,” she said at the time, adding that she was thinking about her wedding dress.
