Lauren Sanchez's outfit choice for Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony drew considerable attention and mixed reactions on social media. The fiancée of Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos opted for a white Alexander McQueen pantsuit featuring a low-cut blazer and wide-leg trousers, paired with a white lace bustier. The ensemble, reportedly priced at upwards of $1,800, was completed with a fuzzy coat.
Sanchez attended the event alongside Bezos, who wore a suit and a dark red tie. They were seated near other prominent figures like Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Elon Musk. Social media commentary ranged from criticism of Sanchez's attire being too revealing for a formal occasion to comparisons with Melania Trump's more conservative navy ensemble. Some users even pointed out Zuckerberg seemingly glancing at Sanchez's attire.
Fashion historian Summer Anne Lee expressed surprise at Sanchez's choice, calling it a potentially unprecedented moment in inauguration fashion. Sanchez reportedly wore a similar outfit to a New York Times event in December. Bezos proposed to Sanchez in May 2023 after five years of dating.
