Having married one of the richest men in the world, and the founder of Amazon, the e-commerce giant, is tantamount to passing status, clearly. Not only from a demographic point of view, but, more importantly, from a social point of view. Sánchez, the journalist and anchorwoman, no longer exists. There is, as of now, only Sánchez-Bezos, sort of the 2025 counterpart of Juno on Mount Olympus, queen of contemporary gods and companion of the most powerful of all, Jupiter/Jeff.

So, an instant after saying the fateful “yes, I do” on Friday in Venice, she changed the name of her Instagram account to Lauren Sánchez Bezos, deleting all previous posts and leaving, at the moment, only two photos of her wedding in which she appears radiant in the guise of Sophia Lauren (remember that the wedding dress by Dolce & Gabbana is inspired by a model worn by Loren in the film A Husband for Cinzia).
