Lauren Sanchez, 54, turned heads during a visit to the Godmothers bookstore in Montecito, California, donning a daring see-through burgundy mesh turtleneck. Paired with maroon pants, a black belt, and white sneakers, the businesswoman and fiancée of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos explored the children’s bookstore while promoting her new book, The Fly Who Flew to Space, released on September 10.
During her tour of the “magical” bookstore, Sanchez highlighted its charm, praising it as a space where families can enjoy author talks and unique book selections. She excitedly pointed out celebrity-authored children’s books by Jennifer Aniston and Eva Mendes, describing the bookstore as a “calming space” and “a little piece of magic.”
In a heartfelt social media post, Sanchez shared her experience, calling the visit a nostalgic moment. She also reflected on her personal journey, including her struggles with dyslexia, which inspired her to write the book.
Sanchez’s battle with dyslexia was a defining moment in her life, one she attributes to the intervention of her former community college professor, Lori. Sanchez reunited with Lori during a recent book signing, sharing an emotional moment with the teacher who changed her life by encouraging her to write. This pivotal support led Sanchez to overcome her challenges, achieve academic success, and pursue a career in journalism.
Proceeds from her book are being donated to the International Dyslexia Association, supporting early diagnosis and assistance for children with learning disabilities.
While Sanchez’s revealing outfit sparked mixed reactions, her focus on empowering children and raising awareness about dyslexia underscores her dedication to meaningful causes.
