Jeff Bezos’ lavish Italian wedding to Lauren Sanchez had everything you’d expect from one of the world’s richest couples. Historic Venetian backdrops, A-list guests, designer gowns, and a three-day celebration that included a pajama-themed after-party (because, why not?).
But amid the splashy festivities, there was one thing online observers just couldn’t ignore; Lauren Sanchez’s noticeably altered look.
Even before they said “I do,” unfiltered paparazzi snaps of Sanchez arriving in Italy were already sparking chatter about how her face has changed over the years. But once the wedding photos hit social media in full force, that talk turned into a full-blown debate, one with no RSVP required.

Sure, money can buy you designer gowns, private yachts, and a giant wedding on the Grand Canal. But it turns out even billionaires can’t guarantee perfect results from cosmetic procedures. Many people pointed out that Sanchez’s face looked dramatically different, with more than one commenter calling it “puffy” or “overdone.”
As one X user wrote, “What happened to Lauren Sanchez? She is starting to look like the Cat Lady who just died… stop with the plastic surgeries woman!!!” Another wrote, “not to be a hater at all but Lauren Sanchez makes me never want to get any botox, filler or work done lol.” One more comment read, “Lauren Sanchez looks are similar to the cat lady that recently passed. Plastic surgery is not what it used to be.”
The comments didn’t stop here. One user shared a video of celebs’ faces with failed plastic surgery saying, “Terrible waste of money and medical malpractice of you ask me!”
Actually, men do seem to like it. That’s why “trophy wives” have things done. They all seem to end up with rich men!

To be fair, it’s not the first time she’s faced questions about cosmetic enhancements. But this time, the wedding spotlight made it impossible to scroll past. The photos from the post-wedding pajama party were particularly unforgiving, showing her in a glamorous gown that clashed with the laid-back theme and, unfortunately, did little to distract from her new look.
Some fans were downright nostalgic, sharing old photos and asking, “Why did she do that to her face?” Others were even more direct, “Lauren Sanchez just looks f*ing WEIRD! She has very bad Filler Face and it’s bizarre.” Another comment read, “It just keeps getting worse. She really was pretty. Before all the massive amounts of plastic surgery.”
However, not all the people are saying against her face. Some took her side too as one user wrote, “Why do you people hate so much. Rich older women get work done, her looks aren’t that outrageous. At 55 you’re fighting time. Bezos at 60 looks relatively good. But men do work that’s extremely subtle. She’s not a cat lady, not yet. And yes she’s a very pretty woman.”
Of course, cosmetic treatments are personal, and there’s no denying that Lauren Sanchez has the cash to fix or refine anything she wants. As one observer joked, if there was ever a moment to invest in a new plastic surgeon, this very public wedding might be it.
Still, at the end of the day, the Bezos-Sanchez nuptials were a fairytale spectacle. And if Lauren’s look stole some of the limelight for unexpected reasons, well… isn’t that exactly what social media lives for?
