Lauren Sanchez Bezos Has Donned Inappropriate Outfits On Too Many Occasions

Lauren Sánchez Bezos, journalist and wife to Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos, has become known for her provocative sense of style. From her fur-trimmed suits that make her look like a mobster wife straight out of "The Sopranos" to her plunging necklines, she's cultivated an extravagant and instantly recognizable personal brand.

On several occasions, Sánchez Bezos' style choices have drawn criticism. But what some call "bad taste" may actually be a part of Sánchez Bezos' carefully crafted public persona. It's an extravagant style that rebukes the sophisticated, subtle norms typically associated with the wealthy elite.

Still, while Sánchez Bezos might be savvy at building a celebrity brand, that doesn't mean that her signature looks are suited to all the events she attends. Perhaps that's why, as of 2026, she decided to employ the services of celebrity stylist Law Roach (though its clear that, even with his oversight, her va-va-voom impulses aren't going away). "I reckon she has a 'nothing below the knee and lacy bra must always be visible' term in their contract," joked one Reddit user.

At a 2024 White House state dinner, Lauren Sánchez Bezos threw Washington, D.C. into a tizzy with a red corseted gown from Rasario. The dress exposed ample cleavage, as well as glimpses of her bare torso beneath. Everything about this look was sultry, from the off-the-shoulder neckline to the corseted lace bodice. Social media users quickly dubbed the look scandalous. "That's what she wore to a state dinner at the White House?" wrote one X user. "Geesh, the unmitigated gall."

The floor-length gown did technically suit the event's black tie dress code, but it was still a provocative choice in a city where the unspoken fashion rules dictate that clothes be more formal and less creative than are common in other places and industries. Such a sexy look would be better suited to a movie premiere in Los Angeles or fashion gala in New York.

At President Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration, Lauren Sánchez Bezos found a way to make a traditional suit all her own. She wore a white suit with a plunging neckline that revealed a lacy bustier beneath. The look, from British fashion house Alexander McQueen, might have been on brand for Sánchez Bezos, but it was poorly suited to the formality of a presidential inauguration. It was also a lot sexier than the more standard inauguration uniform of a modest, timeless coat dress — and probably a lot less warm. It quickly landed Sánchez Bezos on lists of stars and politicians whose outfits totally missed the mark at Trump's inauguration. "Poor girl, can't afford buttons," joked one Reddit user.

Major cleavage has become one of Lauren Sánchez Bezos' most prominent style signatures, so it's not surprising that she wore another low-cut gown to attend the Bezos Courage & Civility Award ceremony in 2024. But while the semi-sheer strapless gown was a normal choice for Sánchez Bezos, it wasn't quite right for a formal gala where the evening's emphasis is supposed to be on charitable giving. She would have been better off with a more refined, timeless look that drew less attention and left the focus on the cause itself.

At fashion week, outfit rules tend to be more flexible. Bold and creative dressing is the order of the day. Still, even for an industry event, the sheer lace dress that Lauren Sánchez Bezos wore for 2024 Milan Fashion Week was a bit too sultry. In addition to significant cleavage, the Dolce & Gabbana gown revealed almost every inch of her skin. Unfortunately, it looked more like lingerie than an intentional fashion moment.

Even before Lauren Sánchez Bezos began living such a lavish lifestyle, her fashion instincts weren't necessarily better. For example, take the black and gray ensemble she wore for a 2011 newscast during her news anchor days. The wide neckline top, exposing a black strap, is surprisingly casual, especially since journalists typically stick to a pretty professional dress code behind the news desk. Viewers could even catch a flash of her exposed thigh too, suggesting that this look isn't just relaxed but also too sexy for a broadcast.

Funerals are somber affairs, which is why most people usually stick to a conservative dress code. The look Lauren Sánchez Bezos wore for the funeral of Jeff Bezos' mother, Jacklyn, was reserved — at least, relative to the aggressively sexy styles the socialite usually favors. She paired a below-the-knee A-line skirt with a dark blue jacket. But the jacket and top underneath were seriously low-cut, which made this a major cleavage moment. The bold look was in poor taste, even worse than the inappropriate accessory Jill Biden wore at Queen Elizabeth's funeral, since it had the potential to steal the spotlight at a moment when the focus should have been on the departed.
