Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez confidently embraces her daring fashion choices, making a significant impact at Donald Trump?s 2025 presidential inauguration events with her audacious outfits that have garnered widespread attention.
She made a major statement in a striking white pantsuit, paired with a daring peek-a-boo lace bra that notably caught the eye of tech billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, prompting him to do a double-take. Other outfits comprised provocative gowns that ignited a wave of negative reactions on social media, with many users expressing their disapproval in a rather vocal manner.
In the face of considerable backlash, Sánchez remains unshaken, demonstrating that criticism does not deter her confidence.
The 55-year-old media personality, who is also the future wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, took to her Instagram account to express gratitude by liking comments that praised her bold style, thereby subtly acknowledging the support from her fans amid the negativity.
A comment that particularly caught her eye asserted, ?Girl you ate that inaugural look don?t pay attention to no haters,? further emphasizing that ?the only opinion that matters is your own and Jeff?s.?
Many supporters echoed sentiments of admiration for her confidence, with one person declaring she was ?THAT GIRL.?
However, not everyone shared her enthusiasm. Critics online remained unconvinced, with users on Y! Entertainment openly voicing their disapproval. One user went as far as to call her outfit ?in poor taste,? labeling it inappropriate for the prestigious occasion.
Another commentator provided a scathing critique, stating, ?Well let?s see it?s a PRESIDENTIAL inauguration NOT a Victoria Secret runway show?she can ?like? everyone?s comments but it?s clear that class and dignity does not run in her wheel house ? then again she?s not with Bezos for that anyway?he liked how she dressed and she saw nothing wrong with it.?
The backlash regarding her expression of gratitude grew, with one individual remarking, ?They were inaugurating a felon, anything goes.?
Other detractors chimed in with remarks like ?She proved the old adage ?you can?t buy class,’? and ?The only reason she wore it was to get noticed. Mission accomplished. Made her look sleezy and desperate.?
In a particularly biting comment, Jeff Bezos?s fiancée was criticized for her revealing attire at the presidential inauguration, with a user stating, ?Jeff Bezos?s wife strutting into the presidential inauguration in lingerie with her chesticles hoisted like NASA was launching them into orbit? Peak Selling Sunset season 2 energy? Cute outfit, sweetheart, but wrong place.? ? Christine Quinn (@XtineQuinn) January 20, 2025
Reality TV star Christine Quinn joined the conversation, taking to X to mock Sánchez?s outfit, stating, ?Cute outfit, sweetheart, but wrong place.?
Quinn, known for her sarcastic commentary, concluded her tweet with a jab at Zuckerberg, suggesting his gaze was fixated on Sánchez?s attire in a way that was both humorous and revealing of the situation’s absurdity.
Public reaction intensified when images surfaced showing Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemingly stealing a glance at Sánchez?s eye-catching ensemble during the event, adding fuel to the already heated debate.
Things escalated further as observant netizens noted Zuckerberg liking Sánchez?s Instagram post where she humorously addressed her critics.
?ZUUUUCKKK NOOOOO LIKES ARE PUBLIC ON INSTAGRAMMMM,? exclaimed one user, highlighting the humorous, yet awkward social media interactions.
?As if he would have any idea what to do with her,? quipped another user, adding a layer of sarcasm to the discussion.
?From mr. steal your data to mr. steal your girl,? a third user humorously commented, acknowledging the absurdity of the situation.
Speculation grew when another X user pointed out that Sánchez had liked a December 15 photo of Zuckerberg on Instagram, suggesting a possible connection.
?Will zuck lose his amazon prime?? one social media user humorously inquired, adding to the playful banter surrounding the incident.
This is not the first time Sánchez has found herself at the center of fashion-related controversies. In November 2024, she faced criticism for a negligee-inspired mini dress by Laura Basci, facing labels such as ?cheap? and ?classless,? with some suggesting she was attempting to emulate fellow Latina icon Jennifer Lopez?s signature sexy style.
Just a month later, she stirred the pot again at The New York Times Deal Book event, where she paired a striking white Alexander McQueen pantsuit with a lace bustier. Observers online remarked, ?It?s 30 degrees in NYC and she gets out of a limo in a Miami white-heat outfit with her bra visible for all to see. No taste whatsoever.?
Even during a January 2025 vacation in St. Barts, Sánchez couldn?t escape the critical commentary, with comments ranging from ?Why does she always look like a cheap hooker? So much money and no style,? to critiques of her appearance and choices regarding cosmetic enhancements.
Despite the storm of criticism, Sánchez has garnered support from notable figures in the celebrity world. Many of her friends came to her defense at the inaugural ball, where she later changed into a stunning strapless black Dolce & Gabbana gown. Kris Jenner praised her look as ?STUNNING!!!? while Brooks Nader dubbed her the ?Belle of the ball!? Bethenny Frankel celebrated Sánchez?s ?extreme hotness? during her ?magical evening? at Washington?s National Building Museum.
Sánchez, who got engaged to Bezos in 2023, continues to showcase her bold and confident style, often drawing inspiration from iconic Latina figures like Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek, Jennifer Lopez, and Sofía Vergara. While many may take issue with her fashion choices, it appears that one individual remains unconcerned and loves her for who she is?Jeff Bezos, the second-richest man in the world. This unwavering support likely bolsters her confidence, allowing her to brush off the negativity.
