Lauren Sanchez threw her billionaire fiancé, Jeff Bezos, an out-of-this-world 60th birthday party with an A-list guest list that included everyone from Kim Kardashian to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. The private bash was hosted at the couple’s Beverly Hills mansion with a ‘celestial space-age’ theme, a nod to the Amazon founder’s Blue Origin aerospace company, The Sun reported.
Sanchez, 54, channeled her inner Jessica Rabbit in a custom red Swarovski crystal gown by designer Laura Basci, likely to the delight of Bezos, who turned 60 on January 12. The dress required more than 800 hours of hand-beading, according to a press release from the brand via the New York Post.
The bride-to-be paired the figure-hugging frock with a $4,995 crystal-incrusted rocket ship bag by Judith Leiber. Sanchez proudly showed off her look on Instagram the day after the party, sharing behind-the-scenes photos of herself striking a pose in her dressing room ahead of the bash.
‘Getting ready is sometimes the best part of the night. Thank you @laurabasci for creating this incredible dress for such a special evening,’ she wrote in the caption. Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Kendell Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Jay-Z and Beyoncé were among the hundreds of guests spotted at the lavish birthday party, a source told The Sun.
Sanchez went all out for her husband-to-be’s birthday and set up a replica of Bezos’ first Amazon office with his original chair, the insider shared. Guests were served ‘everything from caviar to McDonald’s, a tribute to the billionaire’s first job when he was 16.
The source added that ‘photography was banned at the event’ and attendees had to ‘put their phones in pouches’ when they arrived. Many guests confirmed their attendance with posts and comments on Instagram, including Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump, Heidi Klum, Jewel, Kathy Hilton, and her daughters, Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild.
‘You are the brightest gift to Jeff. Happy Birthday. We had a blast celebrating with you,’ Klum, 50, wrote on Sanchez’s post. ‘You look so gorgeous in that red dress!!! What a fun beautiful evening,’ Kathy Hilton, 64, added. ‘Sooo fun last night!!’ her daughter Nicky agreed.
Nicky, 40, and her older sister, Paris, 42, both dazzled in silver. The former had on a bedazzled spaghetti strap dress paired with a star tiara, while the latter wore a long-sleeve gown made of laser-cut stars. ‘Such a fun night,’ Trump, 42, commented, adding rocket and space emojis.
The former White House senior adviser was joined by her husband, Jared Kushner, 43, whom she posed for photos with at the party. The couple flew to Los Angeles from their home on Indian Creek Island near Miami, Florida, where Bezos recently purchased not one but two properties.
Trump revealed her black and gold beaded halter gown was a vintage Roberto Cavalli design featured in his Fall/Winter 2006 collection. She posted a few solo shots of herself modeling the look, including footage of herself blowing a kiss at the camera.
