Overview

• Social media users on Reddit have compared Lauren Sanchez’s 900-hour custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown to Priyanka Chopra’s 2018 Ralph Lauren dress, reigniting debate over originality and craftsmanship.
• Italian outlets quoting Corriere della Sera report that one of Sanchez’s 27 prepared dresses vanished after an elegantly dressed gatecrasher slipped past security; the garment remains unrecovered and no formal complaint has been filed.
• Separate reports indicate that a Dolce & Gabbana outfit caught fire during the festivities, though officials confirm it was not the gown Sanchez wore to exchange vows.
• The wedding breakfast, priced at around €1,000 per guest, featured dishes by three Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino along with contributions from Salvatore De Riso and Ciro Oliva, including spaghetti alla Nerano and pastries by Cédric Grolet.
• Held on the private island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the three-day ceremony drew more than 200 A-list guests and underscored security challenges and lavish hospitality in high-profile Venice events.
