Lauren Sánchez Bezos attracted attention when she appeared at a state dinner at the White House. The former journalist, aged 56, was with her husband, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. They attended to honor China’s President Xi Jinping. Her choice of a black off-the-shoulder dress, with a plunging neckline, led to a lively online discussion.
She accessorized with diamond drop earrings and a statement diamond necklace. Her dress caught the eye of many users on social media platform X. Some criticized her for showing too much cleavage at a formal event, even questioning the couple’s presence there. Comments like ‘Money does not buy one class. She dresses terribly. So inappropriate,’ were common.
Other users expressed concerns about taxpayer expenses, questioning, ‘Why are they invited to an event and eating on the taxpayer dime?’ Though there were critical voices, others defended Sánchez Bezos. Some argued that her clothing choices are personal and not subject to public scrutiny.
Positive remarks included one user stating, ‘She looks great, and Jeff is very lucky.’ Others commented on her career progression, with statements like ‘She’s come a long way from being the entertainment reporter on the local LA news station.’ The event is not Sánchez Bezos’ first instance of causing a stir with her attire.
At President Trump’s inauguration in 2025, she wore a white Alexander McQueen pantsuit with a satin-trimmed blazer and a low-cut V-neck. Her risqué lace bustier was visible, which also received social media backlash. Users then commented, ‘Good grief, Lauren Sanchez. Put them away for one day,’ while others called for more traditional attire suitable for the occasion.
Despite criticism, Sánchez Bezos continues to make her fashion statements. Lori A. Bashian is an entertainment news writer reporting on such events and more for Fox News Digital.
