Lauren Sanchez faced a wave of backlash on social media after debuting a bold and revealing outfit at Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The fiancée of Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos opted for a daring white Alexander McQueen pantsuit, featuring a tailored satin-trimmed blazer with a plunging neckline, paired with wide-leg trousers. Forgoing a traditional blouse, Sanchez wore a provocative white lace bustier under the blazer. She completed the ensemble with a plush coat, smoky eye makeup, glossy nude lips, and a sleek updo.
Critics on X (formerly Twitter) were quick to condemn her choice, deeming it unsuitable for the formal occasion. "Jeff Bezos' fiancée Lauren Sanchez is incredibly inappropriately dressed for a state occasion," one user commented, while another wrote, "Good grief, Lauren Sanchez. Put them away for one day." Many criticized the visibility of her bustier, labeling it more fitting for a nightclub than a state event.
Meanwhile, Facebook and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, seated next to Sanchez, sparked a different conversation. Observers speculated that he sneaked a glance at her outfit, with one user commenting, "Zuckerberg was out of control ogling Jeff Bezos’ fiancée!" Another quipped, "This is the most normal thing I’ve ever seen Zuckerberg do."
Fashion historian and FIT professor Summer Anne Lee described the look as unprecedented in inauguration fashion. "I gasped when I saw it," Lee shared, noting that it might mark a "first" for such a revealing outfit at an event of this nature.
Sanchez previously wore the same McQueen suit to The New York Times DealBook event in December, where she shared a sultry selfie with her nearly 900,000 Instagram followers.
After five years of dating, Bezos proposed to Sanchez in May 2023. While no wedding details have been revealed, Sanchez has hinted she’s already preparing for the big day.
