Lauren Sánchez-Bezos stepped into New York Fashion Week with a head-turning look. On Wednesday night, the former broadcast journalist and newlywed made one of her first major public appearances since her wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. This time, as a guest of honor at an intimate Chanel dinner celebrating filmmaker Sofia Coppola’s new book, 'Chanel Haute Couture.'
Held at the members-only Doubles Club in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, the exclusive event drew a roster of A-list attendees. Sánchez-Bezos arrived alongside Kirsten Dunst, Gracie Abrams, Jon Hamm, Havana Rose Liu, and supermodel Iman, among others.

But it was Sánchez-Bezos who delivered a standout fashion moment of the night. She wore a strappy white tank top tucked into a sheer, polka-dotted black skirt. The skirt, which featured a pleated mini layer topped with a flowing, semi-transparent maxi silhouette, was the perfect summer-to-fall transition/

Lauren's connection with Chanel:
Sánchez-Bezos’s connection with Chanel is nothing new. From birthdays in St. Barts wearing vintage looks from the brand to past appearances at the Sun Valley Conference and the brand’s pre-Oscars dinner in Beverly Hills, her relationship with the iconic fashion house has only deepened.

And in Saint-Tropez this summer, she made headlines in a sheer black animal-print gown. It’s no surprise that she chose Chanel again for her Fashion Week debut as Mrs. Bezos.
