Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, has found herself in the midst of online controversy following her choice of attire for former U.S. President Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony.
Sanchez turned heads in a white ensemble featuring a tailored Alexander McQueen blazer and trousers, paired with a lace corset underneath and cross-over lapels. While the outfit showcased high fashion, it sparked a wave of criticism on social media, with many questioning whether it was appropriate for such a formal state occasion.
The look, described as bold and unconventional, drew mixed reactions. Some social media users deemed it “inappropriate,” arguing that the lace corset element did not align with the traditional decorum expected at a presidential inauguration. Comments flooded in, with one user stating, “Money doesn’t buy class,” while others labeled the outfit “too revealing” and “attention-seeking.”

Sanchez’s critics also took the opportunity to poke fun at her relationship with Bezos. One Twitter user sarcastically commented, “Seems like she shopped for the occasion on Amazon Prime.” Meanwhile, others defended her choice, praising the outfit’s modern sophistication and Sanchez’s confidence in wearing it.
Fashion experts have also chimed in, noting that high-profile events often see a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. However, they agree that the line between bold and inappropriate is subjective and often influenced by public perception.
This is not the first time Sanchez has been under scrutiny for her fashion choices, as public figures often face heightened judgment in high-profile settings. Despite the backlash, Sanchez appeared unfazed during the event, maintaining her composure and confidence.
