Jeff Bezos' fiancee Lauren Sanchez slammed over 'inappropriate' outfit at Donald Trump's inauguration
WASHINGTON DC: Lauren Sanchez, fiancee of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, faced backlash online for her choice of outfit at Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, January 20.
The ceremony, held inside the Capitol Rotunda due to freezing temperatures, saw the billionaire’s partner wearing a controversial dress deemed “incredibly inappropriate” for the occasion by internet users.
Lauren Sanchez's outfit resembles her earlier outfit
This marked the first time since 1985 that a presidential inauguration was held indoors, as Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.
The ceremony attracted several world leaders and notable figures, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Lauren Sanchez’s dress resembled an outfit she wore at the 2024 Forbes Power Women’s Summit in September, the Daily Mail reported.
After taking off her coat, the journalist could be seen donning a white pantsuit, with a matching jacket and her white lace lingerie peaking through, which shocked social media users who felt it was not appropriate for the sophisticated event.

One night before the inauguration, Sanchez mingled with the president's daughter Ivanka Trump at a candlelight dinner held at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.
She donned a black Dolce and Gabbana gown. Describing the evening, Sanchez wrote on Instagram, “Magical evening.”

Donald Trump’s inaugural remarks draw attention
During his inaugural address, Donald Trump declared that the “official policy” of the US government would recognize only two genders: male and female, according to BBC.
This statement added to the contentious debates surrounding gender identity in the US.
He said that the Trump administration will also pull the US out of the Paris climate agreement besides talking about "illegal migrants." He is also anticipated to sign troves of executive orders while in the office.
The event, held at the Capitol, was attended by several dignitaries, with Sanchez’s choice of outfit attracting more attention than some of the discussions of the day.

Lauren Sanchez faced harsh criticism online for her choice of attire at Donald Trump's inauguration. “This is just embarrassing,” wrote one person on X (formerly Twitter).

Critics also commented on Sanchez’s demeanor during the event. “She also acted SUPER clingy the whole time. I had no idea she is that insecure,” one person remarked.
Another compared her to first lady Melania Trump by writing, “She should take some notes from Melania and Usha.”
One individual shared, “As an adult, she shouldn't need to be told. But few people understand modest dress these days.”
