On Saturday, June 28, numerous stars were photographed making their way via water taxi to the post-wedding bash. While some opted for formal attire, others embraced the dress code and sported stylish PJ sets, dressing gowns, robes and the like.

As for the newlyweds' guests, they were gifted the perfect footwear for the pajama party.
The men received Vibi Venezia blue velvet Venetian slippers, and the women were given plush, black open-toe slippers from Amazon, according to Vogue. "So you have a little of both!" Lauren — who, shortly after the ceremony, changed her name on her Instagram bio to Lauren Sánchez Bezos — told the outlet.

For the main event on Friday, June 27, Lauren walked down the aisle — escorted by her two sons, Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19 — in a custom-designed Dolce & Gabbana dress, featuring a high-necked, mermaid-style silhouette and hand-appliquéd Italian lace. The bride told Vogue that she wanted her wedding look to be a striking departure from her typical red carpet ensembles.
Lauren said she drew inspiration from the high-necked wedding dress Sophia Loren wore to marry Cary Grant in the 1958 movie Houseboat. "It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago," she told the outlet.
She noted that it would be the first formal dress she's worn that's so covered up across the chest. "It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect — but it's very much me," she explained.
Shortly after the nuptials took place, Lauren shared the first photo of the wedding on Instagram: a shot of herself and Jeff beaming in a garden setting with their guests surrounding them. She captioned the post, "06/27/2025 ♥️," officially confirming her marriage.
Jeff and Lauren celebrated their wedding with about 200 people, 70 of whom were family members, including a number of celebrities. The star-studded guest list included Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, Tommy Hilfiger, Queen Rania of Jordan and Brooks Nader.
