Just weeks ahead of their ultra-luxury, star-studded Venice wedding, Jeff Bezos is facing an unexpected threat to his big day look. A glaring bald tan line that’s making headlines (and not the flattering kind). For someone with more dollars than hair follicles, Bezos might want to invest in a little SPF, or at least a better hat.
It all started when he and fiancée Lauren Sanchez were spotted in Milan on June 8, heading into the Dolce & Gabbana Martini Bar. Sounds romantic? Sure. Except the cameras didn’t miss a very specific detail on Bezos’ exposed dome: a stark tan line cutting right across his scalp.

In photos that quickly went viral, the billionaire’s bronze glow shifts dramatically at what seems to be his long-lost hairline, leaving many wondering if he wore a visor backward, or simply missed a spot with sunscreen.
The couple is reportedly tying the knot in Venice in a three-day affair beginning June 24. But this unexpected sun snafu could spell disaster for Sanchez’s ultra-glam plans. After all, this is the same woman who practically wore a wedding gown to the Oscars party back in March, subtly (or not-so-subtly) hinting that she was ready to walk down the aisle. The last thing she needs now is Bezos showing up in wedding photos with a blotchy, two-tone head.
For those of us with hair, tan lines tend to be a shoulder thing. But when you’re bald and bronze like Bezos, the margin for error is, well… your whole scalp.
It gets better—or worse—when you consider who Sanchez is surrounding herself with. Let’s not forget her Paris bachelorette bash just last month, where her girl squad looked like a walking plastic surgery warning label. If appearances are everything in this crew, and they most certainly are, Bezos better call in the finest makeup artists in Europe to even out that tone before he says “I do.”
Reports say, in the peak tourist season, Venice is buzzing with the pre-wedding spectacle. The tycoon has booked five luxury hotels and all water taxis in town to take care of the glamorous A-listers who are present in the guest lit. Venice locals aren’t too happy with these massive arrangements though, they feel the city is being taken ‘hostage’ causing massive disruption to everyday life.
The words are, the much-anticipated wedding is going to be within a budget. Who would’ve thought the world’s richest groom might be trimming down the bill?
According to insiders, the three-day affair from June 24 to 26 has gone through what’s being called a “make-under.” Gone are the rumors of a mega yacht fleet and diamond-encrusted cocktail napkins. The reason? The backlash from Blue Origin’s all-female space flight didn’t exactly land well with the public. Critics called it tone-deaf, and now, the couple doesn’t want their fairytale wedding to be “a lightning rod for inequities.”
So, instead of an over-the-top event, the pair is aiming for something far more curated, with fewer than 200 guests and a budget that reportedly won’t cross £10 million (pocket change for Bezos, honestly).

Coming back to Bezos’ bald tan. With two weeks to go, there’s hope the tan line fades, or gets fixed with a little $10,000 contouring.
But one thing’s goes without mentioning. Lauren Sanchez isn’t about to let her wedding photos get photobombed by a burnt Bezos scalp.
Scroll to catch some glimpses of the couple together.
The pair reportedly first met at an Amazon Studio’s party in 2016. Their relationship was public in 2019.

The couple shared a ‘complex’ prenup, with Bezos reportedly staying careful to protect his massive wealth.
