Katie Couric Under Fire For 'Tacky' Comment On Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Dress

Fans have rallied against Katie Couric's criticism of Lauren Sanchez's wedding dress.

The multi-million-dollar wedding stayed in the news over the weekend, and now Katie Couric has come out to question Sanchez's choice of outfit for her big day.

Lauren Sanchez and her husband, Jeff Bezos, tied the knot in a multi-day event that had their friends and loved ones fly from across the world to Venice in their honor.

The American journalist expressed her displeasure over her colleague's Dolce & Gabbana custom-made wedding dress right in Jack Schlossberg's comment section.

"Welcome to the eighties—when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back," Couric wrote under the now-deleted post. The journalist's remark did not go unnoticed by internet users who swarmed to X to call her out for the statement.

"Forever reaching to be relevant after leaving the Today Show…which is political waste now," this user wrote in the replies of a post condemning Couric for her "bitter" stance.

Another X subscriber declared that Couric was simply hurt about being left out on the prestigious "invite list." A third commenter echoed the same thoughts. This user noted that the media personality is effortlessly letting her ugly side show in front of everyone.

"To think, I used to think she was a great person but she has certainly showed her true colors, or I was a naive idiot," a fifth commenter revealed under the post. Another user simplystated that Couric could not hide her jealousy towards Sanchez on her big day.

Couric's comments had nothing to do with the reality of what happened at the magical wedding. Sanchez enjoyed not only the support of her friends but that of her lovely children.

As noted by The Blast, her two sons, Nikko and Evans, were right there to walk her down the aisle to meet the love of her life. The journalist's daughter, Ella, reportedly played the maid of honor at her mother's big moment.

In Sanchez's interview with Vogue, which was published on her wedding day with her on the cover, she revealed more details about her daughter's preparations for the wedding.

She shared that her daughter, who does not share the same desire for extravagant dresses like her, completely enjoyed the fitting process for her maid of honor dress.

Ella reportedly matched with Sanchez in a Dolce & Gabbana suit and also delivered a reading at the 200-guest ceremony. The couple tied the knot on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy.

Sanchez immediately seized the moment after exchanging her vows to make a significant change to the identity she had carried for years in Hollywood.

The journalist noticeably archived all her old posts and began her Instagram page on a clean slate, featuring pictures of her and Bezos in one post and another post showcasing her wedding dress and fittings.

Sanchez was all smiles in her photograph with Bezos, where they posed at the wedding venue with their guests as onlookers in the background. The rich, green decor at the venue also added a luxurious touch to the picture.

She did not stop there; the journalist also updated her Instagram username to reflect "Bezos," affirming that they are now man and wife. The TV personality added another information in the bio section, informing her followers that she is now the "Vice-chair of Bezos Earth Fund."

The licensed pilot discussed more facts about her wedding dress in the Vogue interview, noting that it was a complete detour from her typical fashion. As shared by The Blast, for her wedding, Sanchez chose to cover up her cleavage area and an all-round modest look.

Despite admitting that it was a departure from what people were used to, the media personality noted that it is still very much her.

When asked if her husband would be shocked by her choice of wedding outfit, the journalist agreed in the affirmative. "Yes. I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he's going to be so happy. I mean, it's so elegant, it's timeless," she noted.

Sanchez stunned in a Dolce & Gabbana mermaid-style dress featuring sheer lace sleeves, a high-lace-covered neckline attached to a corseted button-up bodice, and complete with a short train.

The journalist is definitely living her best life as the billionaire's new wife, and she reportedly got an extravagant jewelry set as proof. Sanchez reportedly bagged a diamond necklace valued at around $3 and $5 million from the billionaire, and it was sourced by a popular jeweler.

A source close to the couple shared that the diamond set was unique and "almost as massive as Jeff's superyacht." The licensed pilot is also allegedly thrilled with the new addition to her already impressive jewelry collection.

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding will not be forgotten in a hurry!
