Lauren Sánchez Bezos Draws Criticism for State Dinner Attire
Social media users divided over the former journalist's dress choice at a White House event honoring Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Lauren Sánchez Bezos, wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, became a subject of online discussion after attending a White House state dinner in a black, off-the-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline. The event was held in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Sánchez Bezos paired the dress with diamond jewelry. Her attire prompted mixed reactions on social media platform X, with some users criticizing it as inappropriate for a formal state dinner. Comments included remarks about class, dignity, and the appropriateness of her outfit for a 56-year-old at such a high-profile event. Some questioned the couple's invitation to the dinner.
Others defended Sánchez Bezos, arguing that her clothing choice was a personal matter and that she looked good. Some users expressed support, with one noting her professional advancement.
This is not the first time Sánchez Bezos' fashion choices have drawn public attention. She previously faced criticism for an outfit worn to President Trump's inauguration in January 2025, which featured a white Alexander McQueen pantsuit with a low-cut blazer revealing a white lace bustier underneath.
