Vittoria Ceretti’s Dress Rips at Bezos Wedding — and She Turns It Into the Best Moment of the Night
At Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded Venice wedding, a supermodel’s gown malfunction became the story that stole the spotlight

June 29 EST: Sometimes, even at a billionaire’s wedding in the most cinematic city on earth, it’s not the bride or the billionaire who grabs the spotlight — it’s a rip. A silk-tearing, seam-busting, gloriously unbothered rip.
Vittoria Ceretti, 25, showed up to the final night of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s Venetian wedding bash in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana gown that shimmered like moonlight off the Grand Canal. It was a piece of fashion nostalgia — delicate, daring, and, as it turned out, a little too fragile for the kind of night that ends with champagne stains and bare feet on cobblestone.
And then it happened. A pop. A tear. A slow, inevitable unraveling.
But here’s where it gets good.
A Dress with History, and a Story of Its Own
The dress wasn’t just glamorous — it was historic. It had been worn by Gisele Bündchen at the 2003 Met Gala, back when she and Leonardo DiCaprio were Hollywood’s golden couple. Fast forward to 2025, and here was Ceretti — DiCaprio’s current flame — slipping into that very gown for a night out with Leo himself at her side.
Poetic? Maybe. Risky? Definitely.
The tear started as a whisper — just a gentle tug at the seam. But by midnight, it had blossomed into a full-blown front-split catastrophe, the kind of malfunction that would send most of us diving for a shawl or the shadows. Not Ceretti.
Instead, she picked up her phone.
On Instagram Stories, she posted a side-by-side of the dress’s slow demise: “how it started” (a tiny gap), and “how it’s going” (a thigh-baring slit that would make even the Met Gala blush). It was funny, unfiltered, and a masterclass in not taking yourself too seriously when everyone else around you is trying to pretend they’re not being watched.
A Wedding of Billionaires, Movie Stars, and Yes — Pajamas
Let’s pause for context: this wasn’t just any wedding. It was the Bezos-Sánchez finale, staged with the kind of opulence only a $191 billion net worth can buy. Guests floated in by gondola and helicopter. The dress code for the final party? Pajamas — but not the kind with worn-out waistbands and coffee stains. These were couture silk sets, monogrammed slippers, and enough diamonds to blind a gondolier.
Leonardo DiCaprio was trying to keep a low profile, which worked until it didn’t. Kim Kardashian was there, so was Oprah, and the photos looked like a Netflix original — Venice, billionaires, and the ghosts of red carpets past.
And in the middle of it all: a ripped dress and a woman who just laughed.
Why It Stuck
We’ve all had a moment like Ceretti’s. Maybe not in a Dolce & Gabbana dress, and maybe not flanked by the ex and current girlfriend of the same man — but we’ve all had that oh no moment that either ruins the night or turns it into a story. Ceretti chose story.
It wasn’t flawless. It wasn’t staged. It was real — or at least as real as things get when you’re wearing a borrowed Met Gala gown to a pajama party hosted by a tech titan in Venice.
But that’s why it landed.
Because in a weekend of diamonds and drone shots, it was the ripped dress, the wink on Instagram, and the woman wearing both that reminded everyone: even at the fanciest party in the world, things can split open — and you’re still allowed to have a good time.
