Fashion experts reveal the shocking cost of Lauren Sanchez’s inauguration jewelry and couture
Lauren Sanchez is engaged to one of the richest men in the world, so it makes sense she would go all out for the inauguration festivities.
Lauren, 55, who got engaged to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in May 2023, has become famous for her sultry sense of style.
The tech founder popped the question on his $500 million superyacht following an affair which led to his divorce from his wife of 25 years, Mackenzie Scott.
Lauren has completely changed her style since she got together with her billionaire beau.
She often opts for skin tight, curve-hugging ensembles, including her inauguration ensembles to celebrate President Donald Trump.
To find out how much Lauren spent on her elaborate outfits for the inauguration events, FEMAIL reached out to fashion experts.
On Sunday night, the Fly Who Flew to Space author attended a star-studded pre-inauguration candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum in a glittering black strapless Dolce & Gabbana gown.
Celebrity stylist Amanda Massi told DailyMail.com, ‘The dress appears to be custom as it can’t be located in collections from present to 2023’ and estimates the gown would range from $15,000 to $20,000.

Lauren finished off the look with dazzling jewels from celebrity jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz, including a pear diamond statement choker, mesh cuff bracelet, diamond pinky ring, and diamond earrings.
Irina Aran, founder of Facets Fine Jewelry, told DailyMail.com that she estimates the ‘spectacular’ jewelry paired with the black gown would be worth $6 million to 10 million.
Irina, who is based in Brooklyn, New York, believes the oval solitaire pinky ring is worth up to $2 million based on one she previously designed, as ovals are hard to get in stock.
Lauren was again the center of attention at Trump’s inauguration ceremony on Monday in her plunging white Alexander McQueen lace corset with floral detailing paired with a matching blazer.
The satin-trimmed cotton-blend corded lace bustier top, which she’s worn before, retails for $1,890.
The former news anchor paired the romantic cropped Italian bustier with the design house’s $2,590 crepe blazer.
According to the blazer’s description, it’s meant to be worn with ‘nothing but a lace bra underneath.’
It appears that she paired the blazer with the matching Alexander McQueen crepe straight leg pants, which retail for $990.

Amanda, based in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, told FEMAIL that in her experience sourcing fine jewelry for private clients, ‘depending on the jewelry brand and quality of the diamond, one carat is roughly $5,000 to $10,000.’
