Lauren Sánchez brought the bling to Tuesday night’s state dinner at the White House.

Wearing a black off-the-shoulder gown, Sánchez made a statement with a colorful necklace.

Designed by Lorraine Schwartz, the eye-popping bauble features more than 200 carats of Columbian Emeralds.

Sánchez first debuted the jewels at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, pairing it with her white strapless Oscar de la Renta gown.

At the White House, she added even more bling with a pair of oversized diamond stud earrings —sweeping her hair up into a mussed bun — and a glittery purse.

Also at the event were first lady Melania Trump, clad in pink Dior Haute Couture, and Ivanka Trump, in a blue Reem Acra caped look. The president hosted King Charles III and Queen Camilla for the event.

Bezos’ simple black gown was a change from her 2024 state dinner look, when she made headlines for her sheer lace red corset gown.

And, just last month, she told the New York Times that she thought her 2025 inauguration outfit was “conservative” before backlash.
