Lauren Sánchez may have run into a major beauty blunder in the countdown to her massive Venice nuptials to Jeff Bezos.
Freelance tour guide Beatrice Bavato was recently photographed holding a list of names of wedding guests arriving at the airport — and according to the Daily Mail, Sánchez’s top choice for a nail artist, Iram Shelton, was already marked as a “no show.”
It’s unclear if the celebrity nail artist was expected to do the bride’s nails, or if she was simply on the guest list for the star-studded multi-day event.
Shelton previously worked with celebrity nail guru Tom Bachik for the 2024 Met Gala — Bachik recently provided a flawless minimalist pale pink manicure for Hailee Steinfeld’s May wedding to Josh Allen.
Page Six reached out to reps for Shelton, but did not receive an immediate response.
The report comes as plans for the wedding of the year ramp up in the City of Canals. The massive event has displaced guests at the Aman Venice Hotel, which the famous couple has apparently rented out.
A source told Page Six Tuesday, “Guests who had previously booked [at] the hotel for Wednesday night a long time in advance were booted once Bezos rented the entire space a few months ago.”
The insider added that “Those guests are being moved to other hotels including the St. Regis,” and, “Aman is paying for their rooms in addition to comping a night of their stay and offering upgrades.”
Sánchez, 55, kicked off her celebration last month with a fashionable multi-day bachelorette bash attended by A-listers, including pop star Katy Perry, reality icons Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner and Eva Longoria.
The pals were photographed stepping out for a dinner at Paris landmark Lafayette’s restaurant on May 15, followed by a luncheon on May 16.
The bride-to-be also held a lavish boat soirée that evening, during which guests were seen reveling on the deck of a massive party vessel. At each stop, she rocked a stylish bridal white ensemble.
As the wedding inches closer, protesters took to the streets of Venice with anti-Bezos posters sporting slogans like “No space for Bezos.”
The couple’s wedding planners recently defended the couple in a statement to Page Six. “From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimising of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events,” Lanza & Baucina said in the statement.
