‘Looks Like It Has Muscles Built In’: Jeff Bezos’ ‘Beefed Up’ Look Next to Lauren Sánchez Stirs Wild Claims as Fans Zoom In  

Newlyweds Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos are enjoying the musings of being in love while attending Paris Fashion Week. The couple got hitched in an elaborate ceremony in Venice in June. Since then, they have been spotted hand in hand while gallivanting abroad.

On Oct. 4, the pair stepped out into the Parisian streets in coordinated gray attire that sometimes misses the mark for the Amazon co-founder and his new wife, who is known for her revealing wardrobe.

‘Once You Get the Ring on Her Finger, You Stop Trying’: Jeff Bezos Shocks Fans, Ditches Signature Look Weeks After Marrying Lauren Sánchez

The business magnate wore pants, a shirt, a trench coat, and white and gray Jordan sneakers. Sánchez wore a peplum suit jacket with a cinched waist, calf-length skirt, and black heels. The vintage ensemble was from designer John Galliano’s Spring/Summer 1995 collection.

With bodyguards flanking the wealthy pair, Bezos led Sánchez by the hand into their destination, a lunch date at Le Grand Café, according to Page Six. Footage of the couple walking through a busy area went viral on social media as people weighed in on their appearances. “They both look uncomfortable in those clothes,” remarked one onlooker.

At least one person approved of the former journalist’s modest apparel. They commented, “So glad she covered up those awful implants this time.” Another said, “That suit does nothing for her. Her legs are too stocky and stubby to wear a skirt so long. If the skirt hit just below the knees she would have looked so much better.”

Bezos was told, “You’ve definitely beefed up and all so just stick to the tight high quality tees and jeans. This look doesn’t fit.”

However, the discourse about the hit-or-miss fashion choices was derailed when people became hyper-focused on the Amazon founder. More specifically, his noticeably puffed-out chest and midsection that poked through his shirt. One person asked, “Has Jeff put on Weight or what?”

But others were convinced that the businessman improved the look of his physique with ready-to-wear enhancements.

“That shirt looks like it has muscles built in,” professed another person. A third individual wondered, “Is he wearing an abs prosthetic?”

To another group of users, the pair’s wardrobe was a distraction from a more pressing observation.

In the clips, Sánchez is hastily trying to keep up with Bezos as she pulls her along by the hand. “He’s also dragging her. And he looks far worse than she does,” read a related comment.

No matter the occasion, Sánchez and Bezos are always among the most talked about couples on the scene. Their days in Paris are proving to be no different.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
