Kim Kardashian had fans in a frenzy as she seemingly made the ‘wedding of the century’ all about herself.
The 44-year-old makeup mogul was among the celebrity guests attending billionaire tech titan Jeff Bezos‘ $20 million wedding to Lauren Sánchez on Venice’s San Giorgio Maggiore island Friday.
The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell’Orto cloisters, where A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight.
Even Kim’s famous family members—Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and momager Kris Jenner—were spotted at the star-studded affair.
But despite being surrounded by A-listers and an opulent setting, Kim couldn’t seem to stay off her phone.
She was spotted snapping selfies nonstop throughout the day—and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media.

That move didn’t sit well with everyone, sparking a wave of backlash online.
‘The obvious attention seeking is really off putting,’ wrote one X user.
Another referenced Kim’s famous reality show and the Kardashian family’s signature use of the letter K, posting, ‘Keeping it Klassy.’
One critic took aim at her outfit choice, dragging her for promoting a controversial brand.
‘Still supporting disgusting Balenciaga while attending this wasteful climate nightmare event,’ they wrote.
Others compared Kim to Bianca Censori, the risqué-dressing wife of her ex-husband, Kanye West.
‘Why is she cosplaying Bianca Censori?’ one wrote.
Another chimed in, ‘I thought this was Bianca. I like Kim, in general, but this look just screams “money can’t buy class.’
