Lauren Sánchez Bezos Proves Red Is the New Black at Schiaparelli’s Parisian Spectacle
When Lauren Sánchez Bezos and her billionaire husband Jeff Bezos descended upon the Petit Palais this past Monday for Schiaparelli’s spring 2026 presentation during Paris Fashion Week, they didn’t simply arrive—they announced themselves. In a masterclass of couples’ dressing that championed individuality over matchy-matchy monotony, the power duo delivered a study in contrasts that felt both intentional and utterly effortless.
Sánchez Bezos, ever the sartorial risk-taker, embraced a head-to-toe crimson moment that screamed confidence without uttering a single word. The former journalist turned philanthropist selected pieces from the storied Roman maison that played with proportion and structure in that deliciously surrealist way only Schiaparelli can deliver. Her ensemble centered on a architectural blazer—complete with a corset-inspired bodice, rounded pockets, and a singular gold button that served as the look’s jewelry—layered over a second-skin top and paired with a pencil skirt that hugged her silhouette with architectural precision.
While fellow front-row fixtures arrived in statement footwear designed to provoke and perplex, Sánchez Bezos demonstrated that sometimes the most revolutionary choice is a classic executed flawlessly. Enter: Gianvito Rossi’s Gianvito 105 pumps in a scarlet hue that matched her outfit with laser precision. The pointed-toe silhouette, available in myriad colorways and fabrications and retailing for $850, proved that when you’re commanding attention in monochrome, the right pump is non-negotiable.
But darling, let’s talk accessories. Because this is where Sánchez Bezos truly leaned into the delicious absurdity that makes Schiaparelli the house it is. She carried the brand’s now-iconic Face Bag—a micro iteration rendered in white crocodile leather with gold accents that brought just enough whimsy to an otherwise polished ensemble. Sculptural gold earrings framed her face, while oversized gold aviators with rouge ombré lenses provided that finishing touch of mystique as she ascended the Petit Palais steps, flashing her signature megawatt smile.
Her husband, meanwhile, provided the perfect yin to her crimson yang. The Amazon founder opted for sleek minimalism in a sharp black suit with subtle metallic undertones, gold-trimmed buttons adding just a whisper of embellishment. A black button-up, coordinating boots, dark shades, stacked beaded bracelets, and his gold wedding band completed his monochrome moment.
The couple joined an impressive roster of front-row regulars including Demi Moore, Jodie Turner-Smith, Teyana Taylor, and Carla Bruni—all gathered to witness creative director Daniel Roseberry’s latest fantastical offerings. But in a room full of fashion’s most glamorous, Sánchez Bezos’s commitment to her crimson power play ensured all eyes remained fixed firmly on her.
