Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice is attended by Queen Rania of Jordan and her family as King’s wife stuns in a glitzy Armani couture dress

Queen Rania of Jordan turned heads as she stepped out in an extravagant designer gown to celebrate Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos‘s $46 million nuptials this weekend.

The royal, 54, was snapped as she was helped by several security men onto a water taxi in Venice alongside her daughter, Princess Iman, as they joined other A-listers in celebrating the Amazon billionaire’s three-day wedding. 

Over the multi-day event, Rania has continuously put her best fashion foot forward and has been seen sporting designer brands from Armani to Fendi. 

On Friday, she brought her fashion A-game as she proudly sported her new Armani gown from the Italian brand’s spring/summer 2025 couture collection.

The Queen had all eyes on her as she donned the regal metallic multi-coloured strapless dress, which was adorned with elegant pink floral details from top to bottom.

The classy, tulle frock grazed her ankles and she paired it with a grey shawl which was elegantly wrapped around her shoulders. 

Rania – who is married to King Abdullah – opted to pair her glamorous ensemble with diamond jewellery and a cream patterned clutch bag, as to not draw focus away from her designer look.  

She wore her lengthy caramel brown tresses down in her signature bouncy blow-dry and opted for Hollywood glamour makeup with smokey eye-shadow and pale pink lipstick.

Boarding the water taxi alongside Rania was her daughter, Princess Iman, 28, who donned a bespoke Oscar de la Renta green butterfly-detailed chiffon dress. 

She wore her brunette tresses slicked back in a tight bun and paired her chic outfit with FerriFirenze sole gold earrings, previously worn by her mother.

Rania was seen departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport in a stylish outfit after a lavish past couple of days celebrating Sanchez and Bezos in one of the most romantic cities in the world. 

She wore a white REMAIN Birger Christensen cutout stretch-organic cotton-jersey top paired with black Alo suit up trousers. 

To accessorise, Rania opted to wear a black Jacquemus ‘the medium bambola’ asymmetric bucket bag, complete with black Emporio Armani sunglasses.

This was a much more relaxed look in comparison to Thursday’s ensemble, where  Rania stepped out in a regal Fendi frock that was seen on the fashion house’s Autumn/Winter 2018 Couture Collection catwalk. 

The shimmery sleeveless taupe dress certainly turned heads as the mesh tulle layer was embroidered with diamantes, which glistened in the warm Italian sun. 

Rania wrapped a cream shawl around her shoulders and paired her ensemble with blush pink pointed heels.

The Queen was the picture of elegance as she wore her caramel brown hair in a low ponytail, with two curled strands sitting along her cheeks and opted for glamorous makeup, donning smoky eye shadow, blush and pale pink lipstick. 

Her son Crown Prince Hussein, 30, was also in attendance alongside his wife Princess Rajwa and their baby daughter, Princess Iman, who is less than a year old. 

The family made a rare and unexpected appearance in Italy for Lauren and Jeff‘s big day and were snapped heading from the quay into a water taxi after flying into Venice’s Marco Polo airport.

Crown Prince Hussein held Princess Iman – who was wearing a Tartine Et Chocolat daisy embroidered dress – in his arms as the pair waited for their transport.

To keep the extraordinary gown as the main focus of her ensemble, she kept her accessories relatively simple, adding a plain ream clutch bag, a simple silver bangle and hoops. 

Rania’s relationship with Bezos has spanned almost a decade and she first met the tech founder alongside her husband at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman in 2016. 

Rania was also present at Lauren and Jeff’s engagement party onboard their $500 million yacht Koru.

Princess Rajwa, 31, opted for a casual and unassuming outfit consisting of a Kayla chocolate shrunken linen shirt paired with a Citizens of Humanity ‘Brynn’ brown drawstring linen trousers.

She also donned a Bottega Veneta ‘Hop’ large intrecciato-weave brown suede shoulder bag, Alexander McQueen logo trainers.

To accessorise, donned a Rajwa Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1983C Cat-Eye sunglasses in Bordeaux Bark  and 0.50ct heart shaped ruby and blackened gold single ‘Gypset’ hoop earring, which she paired with the 0.20ct diamond and gold version.

The pair have joined A-listers such as Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Orlando Bloom, Bill Gates and Oprah Winfrey for the extravagant three-day gathering, which will come to a close on Saturday.

Lauren and Jeff were pictured at one of their many wedding events held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters.

But the couple and their famous guests were forced to take cover on Thursday as their pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm.

Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightning bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 36° Celsius.

Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time.

The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees.

One onlooker said: ‘It just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but you can’t control the weather – although an Italian saying says a wet bride is a happy and lucky bride.’

Kim, 44, and her younger sister Khloe, 40, struggled to stay dry in their couture gowns as their security team guided them to their designated water taxi.

Kylie, who is the younger half-sister of Kim and Khloe, reacted to the weather by sharing a photo of her rain-soaked water taxi to her Instagram Story.

Bride-to-be Lauren was surrounded by tuxedo-clad gentleman carrying blue umbrellas over her as she carefully stepped on to her awaiting boat.

The TV personality, 55, had on a striking off-the-shoulder dress with a dramatic gold corset cinching in her already tiny waist.

Bezos, 61 – who popped the question in 2023 with a $3 million engagement ring – was seen following closely behind Lauren with an umbrella over his head.

In footage obtained by DailyMail.com, Lauren appeared to be in high spirits despite the rain ending their soiree early.

Once inside the water taxi, she was seen sharing a laugh with Bezos as the downpour intensified.  

The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding.

Along with Ellie Goulding, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ivanka Trump, the star-studded guest list includes Mick Jagger and Tom Brady.

Earlier this week, a copy of the couple’s invite was leaked with one very specific request made on behalf of the couple.

They’ve asked guests not to buy them any presents and told them they’ll be making donations to multiple charities working to stop Venice from sinking on attendees’ behalf instead.

Bezos is thought to be spending roughly $15 to $20 million on his and Lauren’s Italian nuptials.
