Laurens Bold Corset Era . Lauren Sánchez Bezos made a bold fashion statement at her wedding to billionaire Jeff Bezos—and it wasn’t just the celebration that grabbed attention. It was the corsets. Sánchez, who’s long shown a love for dramatic, body-hugging styles, took things to the next level with three show-stopping wedding looks, all featuring tightly cinched waists.
The corset theme began at her pre-wedding party, where she wore a stunning off-shoulder Schiaparelli gown. The waist was so tightly bound that many said she looked like a glamorous perfume bottle. At the wedding itself, her lace-covered Dolce & Gabbana dress hugged her body from the chest down, shaping her like an old-Hollywood movie star.
The day after the wedding, the look continued at a farewell pajama party. She wore a strapless pink Versace dress that pushed her chest forward and pulled her waist in, staying true to her bold, body-celebrating style.
Fashion or Feminism? The Public Divides
Sánchez’s style, especially her obsession with corsets, has caused intense debate online. While some admire her confidence, others find her look outdated or even offensive. Critics say her outfits send the wrong message about femininity and wealth, especially in today’s climate of body acceptance and women’s empowerment.
She has been harshly judged in the past too. At a 2024 state dinner, she wore a red corseted gown that some called “inappropriate.” When she showed up at Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration in a white suit and lacy corset, TV host Megyn Kelly even said she “looked like a hooker.” Katie Couric also weighed in after the wedding photos were shared in Vogue, calling her look “tacky.”
But through it all, Sánchez hasn’t backed down. She’s shown no interest in trying to fit into the mold of the typical billionaire wife. Instead of quiet luxury, she chooses bright, bold, body-hugging designs. She skips the usual designer “uniforms” like Hermès bags or beige Chanel shoes, instead showing off a style that’s loud, confident, and sexy.
More Than Just a Look—A Statement of Power?
Some say her love for corsets might even carry a deeper message. Maybe, they argue, it’s her way of rejecting old fashion rules. Maybe it’s her way of saying a woman can look “hot” and still be smart, strong, and successful. Joanna Coles, a well-known media executive, called Sánchez’s fashion choices “a bid for female freedom.”
Still, Sánchez doesn’t claim to be a feminist figure. Though she does present herself as a climate activist, that role also gets mixed reactions—especially because of the massive carbon footprint tied to her husband’s superyacht and private travel. Even so, Sánchez has been very open about one thing: she’s willing to suffer for fashion. Her designer, Fernando Garcia, once joked that while trying on a corseted Met Gala dress, she said, “Breathing is overrated.”
In the end, Sánchez’s corset obsession might not be a political act—but it is a clear rejection of the idea that women have to dress to please others. Whether people love it or hate it, she continues to wear what she likes, no matter the noise.
Owning Her Image, On Her Own Terms
Sánchez herself put it best in a interview from 2023. When asked whether she dresses to please men, she replied, “I actually dress for myself.” That attitude has become her signature. In a world where public figures often play it safe, she’s made herself a fashion figure who is impossible to ignore.
She might not be trying to be a feminist icon, but in many ways, her refusal to dress modestly or quietly makes her one of the boldest women in today’s spotlight. With every corset, she’s sending a message: She’ll wear what she wants, no matter what anyone thinks.
Whether she’s admired, criticized, or somewhere in between, Lauren Sánchez Bezos is owning her style—and she’s not letting anyone else define it.
