STORYLINE:
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger almost slipped off the boat he was boarding in Venice on Friday, to attend the wedding ceremony of billionaire Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez.
Among celebrities that left their hotel in Venice to attend the wedding at San Giorgio island were Ivanka Trump and Queen Rania of Jordan.
On Friday afternoon, Sánchez emerged from her hotel wearing a silk scarf on her head and blew a kiss to journalists before stepping into her water taxi.
It carried her through the canals to San Giorgio island, across the lagoon basin from St. Mark’s Square, where the couple held their ceremony Friday night.
Bezos followed two hours later.
Then, in a string of water taxis, came their illustrious guests — Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, Queen Rania of Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more.
Paparazzi trailed on their own boats, trying to capture them all on camera.
Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia has strongly defended the wedding as an economic and reputational boon for Venice, saying the price tag he had seen was between 40 million and 48 million euros ($46.7 million to $56 million).
The wedding has divided Venice, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by Bezos while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding.
