Venice has never been short on romance, but this week, the city has taken on a whole new level of star power. As Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez prepare to celebrate their wedding with a lavish three-day event, an impressive lineup of celebrities, billionaires, and high-society elites has descended upon the floating city. From Hollywood icons to fashion royalty, the arrivals alone are enough to rival a major film festival.

Here’s a closer look at who’s turned up so far for what’s shaping up to be the most extravagant celebration of the year.

Kim Kardashian Touches Down with the Family in Tow

Leave it to Kim Kardashian to make a grand entrance. The reality mogul arrived in Venice on Thursday, flanked by her sister Khloe and their mother Kris Jenner. The trio made waves from the moment they stepped off their private transport, oozing confidence and high fashion. Later that day, the Kardashian crew was seen deep in conversation with actor Orlando Bloom. They were casually chatting near the canals as if this were any other glamorous weekend abroad.

Kim, known for her ability to steal the spotlight, didn’t disappoint. She appeared later in the evening dressed in an eye-catching skintight snakeskin gown. It left no doubt she was there to slay. While details of her accommodations remain private, sources say the Kardashians are staying in one of Venice’s most elite palazzos.

Ivanka Trump Arrives with Her Family

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner were among the first high-profile guests to arrive on Wednesday. Alongside their children, the former White House power couple landed quietly. They were quickly spotted by photographers as they made their way through the city’s winding streets.

Always polished, Ivanka brought her signature blend of understated glamour and poise. By Thursday evening, she emerged wearing a delicate Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress adorned with cherry blossom motifs. It perfectly balanced elegance with a dash of springtime charm, even under the summer skies.

Her presence adds a touch of political celebrity to the gathering. Although she appeared completely focused on the wedding festivities and family time, she kept a low profile amid the glitz.

Oprah Winfrey Glides In, All Grace and Grandeur

Oprah doesn’t just attend an event — she elevates it. The media icon arrived in Venice with her usual mix of quiet grace and commanding presence. She was spotted boarding a private water taxi from the airport, dressed in chic neutrals and oversized sunglasses.

Though she’s kept out of the spotlight since arriving, Oprah’s appearance alone generated a flurry of excitement both in Venice and online. Fans across social media platforms gushed over her presence, many calling her “the ultimate guest” and praising the wedding as “officially iconic” with her on the list.

Leonardo DiCaprio Keeps It Cool and Incognito

Leonardo DiCaprio tried to slip in unnoticed — but let’s be honest, Leo in Venice during the wedding of the year? Not happening.

The Oscar-winning actor was seen leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel on Thursday afternoon. He was dressed in all black with a baseball cap pulled low to avoid cameras. But even in disguise, DiCaprio couldn’t avoid recognition. He quickly became one of the most buzzed-about guests at the event.

Known for keeping his personal life tightly under wraps, his attendance added serious Hollywood weight to the occasion. Sources say he’s close with Bezos through mutual friends and philanthropic ventures, making his invitation unsurprising — but no less thrilling.

Tom Brady Makes a Smooth, Stylish Arrival

NFL legend Tom Brady arrived in Venice looking every bit the off-duty superstar. He was photographed stepping off a boat, dressed casually but polished, blending sports charisma with European sophistication.

Though recently retired, Brady’s still a magnet for media attention. His presence at the wedding signals the kind of crossover appeal that this event has managed to capture. It blends sports, entertainment, tech, and high society in one dazzling guest list.

Bill Gates Joins the Party — Quietly but Notably

Another tech titan joining the wedding weekend is none other than Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. Spotted moving through the city with characteristic understatement, Gates kept things casual but couldn’t avoid attention. His attendance adds an unmistakable air of billionaire camaraderie to the event. It proves that the guest list goes far beyond the entertainment industry.

Though no official photos have emerged of him mingling yet, insiders say he’s expected to attend. He’s likely to show up at least one of the weekend’s main events.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner Reported in Venice

While not yet pictured together, reports have confirmed that both Kendall and Kylie Jenner have also arrived in Venice. The stylish sisters are known for dominating fashion headlines wherever they go. Their presence only adds more heat to the already-scorching social media buzz surrounding the event.

Fashion watchers are eagerly waiting for their first official photos. If the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is any indication, jaw-dropping outfits are almost guaranteed.

Usher Brings the Cool Factor in Cream and Burgundy

Grammy-winning artist Usher turned heads Thursday evening in a sleek cream-colored suit. It was offset by a daring low-cut burgundy shirt. The singer, who’s as smooth in fashion as he is on stage, was one of the standout arrivals at the Gritti Palace.

His entrance added a layer of music industry star power to the already eclectic guest mix. Fans are now speculating whether he might also perform during one of the weekend’s private parties.

With more guests expected and exclusive events continuing through Saturday, the atmosphere in Venice is electric. Locals are split — some thrilled by the influx of attention and economic boost, others overwhelmed by the paparazzi and security frenzy. But there’s no denying it: for one spectacular weekend, this ancient city has become the world’s most glamorous hotspot.

From fashion icons to tech billionaires, athletes to moguls, the guest list reads like a who’s who of global influence. And if this is only the arrival phase, the wedding itself promises to be an unforgettable spectacle.
