Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos are painting the town red — and silver — in Paris.
The former journalist, 56, and her billionaire husband, 62, kicked off Haute Couture Week on Monday, attending the Schiaparelli and Dior Spring 2026 fashion shows in the City of Light.
Sánchez cut a striking figure in a fire-engine red skirt suit at the first show of the day, (accidentally?) coordinating with front-row seat-mate Anna Wintour, who arrived in a red-striped coat.
Sánchez accessorized with matching red suede pumps and red-tinged sunglasses. She added a standout alligator Schiaparelli handbag adorned with the house’s signature surrealist face motif, complete with gilded lips and nose.
If she placed an order off the runway, it wouldn’t be the first time: she wore a corseted gown from the Spring 2025 collection to kick off her lavish Venice nuptials to Bezos in June of last year.
The Amazon founder, meanwhile, complemented his wife at the runway show in a sleek all-black ensemble, but more striking was his new silver beard, which he’s been growing out this winter.
Later the same day, the pair arrived hand-in-hand at Jonathan Anderson’s Dior couture debut. Sánchez switched to a blue-gray fur-trimmed skirt suit while Bezos opted for navy.
The fashion week appearances come as the couple prepares to serve as primary donors for the 2026 Met Gala on May 4.
They’ll join secondary sponsors Saint Laurent and Condé Nast in funding the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition “Costume Art.”
In between shows, Sánchez was photographed out for lunch with Wintour, who has publicly defended the pair amid criticism of their Met sponsorship.
“I think Lauren is going to be a wonderful asset to the museum and to the event,” the Vogue global editorial director told CNN. “We’re very grateful for her incredible generosity.”
The philanthropist has also been making the rounds at Paris hotspots like Siena restaurant, where she had dinner Sunday night in an athleisure black catsuit paired with a cropped white fur coat.
The Bezoses have become fixtures on the fashion circuit. In October, they attended Paris Fashion Week, where they caught new Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy’ debut show under the French fashion label and sat front row at Balenciaga.
