Lauren Sanchez put on a daring display when heading into French restaurant Chez Margaux in New York City on Wednesday evening.
Chez Margaux is a private members only club that has been visited by stars such as Taylor Swift and features celebrity chef Jean Georges Vongerichten.
The former TV star flashed her toned legs in a low-cut black dress with a slit up the front as she added strappy platform heels and a metallic purse.
The 56-year-old wife of Amazon honcho Jeff Bezos added brown tinted sunglasses as her raven hair was worn down over her shoulders in loose curls.
Also with the The Fly Who Flew To Space author was her eldest son, 25-year-old Nikko Gonzalez, whom she shares with her football star ex Tony Gonzalez.
A 2024 graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder, Nikko has pursued modeling, including a runway debut for Dolce & Gabbana, and is based in New York City.

This comes after Sanchez appeared on the Today show in New York City on Tuesday to promote her new children’s book.
During her interview, the beauty almost broke down in tears twice as she talked her dyslexia struggle that she shares with one of her sons, Evan Whitesell.
Sanchez shared that she did not know she had the learning disability until she was 19, adding that she ‘hid it’ for a long time.
She also said that her community college teacher, Lori, urged Sanchez to get tested for dyslexia after she told her, ‘You’re not dumb, you just can’t spell.’
Then she talked about her son’s journey.
Her kids gave speeches during her wedding to Jeff Bezos last June and one of her sons, Evan, who has dyslexia as well, talked about an experience that was ‘extremely important to him.’ Sanchez added that she had ‘no idea what he was going to say.’
Sanchez nearly cried as she shared the story of how her son told himself he could do it when he was struggling to spell in his fourth grade class.

She added that it was the ‘most meaningful and impactful moment at my wedding… besides getting married to Jeff,’ she laughed.
And now she has said that Evan saying ‘I can do it’ has inspired her so much that she has a sign in her home with those words.
Sanchez added that her daughter, Ella Whitesell, who is the artist in the family, will go to college soon.
The star also said she does not like the term Empty Nester and has a new saying: ‘Egg Launcher or maybe Bird Launcher is a little better,’ she said.
While on the couch talking about her second book, The Fly Who Flew Under The Sea, Sanchez said: ‘I want to remind parents to read to their kids.
‘Because if you just take ten minutes, you release what is called Oxytocin and your child releases it… It’s so important.’
Oxytocin is a peptide hormone and neurotransmitter produced in the hypothalamus that acts as a key regulator of social bonding, reproductive functions and maternal behavior.

Next, the star said that Vogue honcho Anna Wintour called her and Bezos to ask them to host the Met Gala and be the sponsors this year.
She then made it clear that Wintour handed them the theme: Fashion As Art.
Before she sat down with Today, Sanchez had found a clever way to promote her new book on the day of its release.
She carried a white handbag with the cover of her tome on the front. The purse was also stylish with a bamboo handle. The former TV star wore a form-fitting, belted white skirt suit with a bow on the jacket, pockets in front and long sleeves.
The skirt portion fell to her calves and had a flirty ruffle on the hem. Sanchez styled it with pointy white Louboutin heels that complemented her toned and tanned legs.

The Fly Who Flew Under the Sea is a children’s book by Sanchez and illustrated by Raleigh Stewart.
The book is about a fly named Flynn who takes a wrong turn on the way to Cape Canaveral and ends up on an undersea adventure, learning to see mistakes as opportunities for discovery.
The tale encourages curiosity, resilience and appreciation for the planet, featuring ocean wonders such as coral reefs and a giant squid, and includes STEM elements, including an undersea glossary.
In 2024, the star released her first children’s book, The Fly Who Flew To Space, which became a best-seller.
Sanchez wed Bezos at a private venue in Venice last June. Their wedding brought together a guest list of more than 200 people, including some of the world’s most high-profile names like Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sydney Sweeney, Orlando Bloom and Ivanka Trump.
