Kris Jenner touched down in Venice, Italy, on Thursday dressed in a dark, romantic look that set the tone for the luxe affair ahead: the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez.
Stepping carefully down a docked gangway alongside daughters Kim and Khloé Kardashian, the Kardashian-Jenner matriarch wore a floor-length black gown finished with sheer long sleeves, soft tiered ruffles and a deep neckline trimmed in fluttering layers. The dramatic silhouette evoked old-world screen sirens, modernized with minimal accessories and sleek footwear.

Her shoes gave the silhouette a modern edge: a pair of minimalist black stiletto sandals. The heels featured a singular black strap across the toes, an enclosed heel counter and a slim ankle strap that buckled at the side, reminiscent of Gianvito Rossi’s signature Portofino 85 sandals. The stiletto heel appeared to measure between 3 to 3.5 inches, elevating the otherwise flowy gown with quiet structure and height.

The look offered a softer, dark glamour counterpoint to the flashier arrivals taking over Venice this week, as celebrities fly in for the billionaire nuptials. Kim Kardashian opted for over-the-knee Amina Muaddi Barbara boots in a snakeskin print, while Khloé Kardashian leaned toward a leopard print. Jenner’s approach — all black with sharp jewelry, including an emerald cross necklace — favored texture and silhouette over overt trend. All three women wore black sunglasses, arriving together in coordinated outfits that emphasized dark tones and high-contrast textures.
Other guests began arriving in Venice earlier in the week, including Sánchez and m Bezos, who were first photographed Wednesday afternoon near the Grand Canal. Sánchez wore a black one-shoulder vintage Alexander McQueen gown from spring 2003, embellished with diagonal white beading. The dress was paired with diamond jewelry and her cushion-cut engagement ring, estimated at more than 20 carats.
Sánchez and Bezos are expected to host their wedding ceremony this weekend at a private venue in Venice’s Arsenale district, following minor logistical changes prompted by local protests. The event, planned by luxury firm Lanza & Baucina Ltd., is scheduled to span multiple days and features a high-profile guest list, including the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey, Diane von Furstenberg, Ivanka Trump and Barbara Streisand, among others.
