Australian model Simone Holtznagel has criticized the recent Vogue photo shoot featuring Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The photo depicts Bezos in a black T-shirt, jeans, and a cowboy hat, with Sanchez wearing a revealing white top, posing in a pickup truck. Holtznagel expressed her disapproval on Instagram, captioning the reshared image with, “What the actual f**k is this garbage, respectfully.”
Critics on social media have also slammed the shoot, describing it as “cringe” and “uncomfortable.” Some accused Vogue of photoshopping Bezos’s muscles in the image. The couple’s joint interview for Vogue’s December 2023 issue received backlash, with comments on the magazine’s Instagram page calling the photo “weird” and a “parody generated by AI.”
People criticized the timing, calling it “tone-deaf” and questioned the decision to glorify billionaires, considering global issues. Some users expressed confusion and anger, wondering why Vogue chose to promote individuals like Bezos amid ongoing global challenges. The interview covers Bezos’s transition from Amazon CEO to a figure exploring outer space, with the caption highlighting his evolution and Lauren Sanchez as the ideal partner for this journey.
The couple shared details about their engagement during the interview, stating that Bezos proposed in May after a romantic dinner on his yacht. Their relationship was first exposed in January 2019 when they were both married to other people, leading to divorces for both parties. Bezos, the third richest person globally with a reported net worth of $165 billion, and Sanchez have been publicly together since May 2019 and got engaged in May 2023. The ring is a cushion cut rumored to be 20-30 carats.

Our take:
They look happy together and are celebrating their love. As to tone deaf, Jeff as he transitioned out of Amazon to focus on space endeavors, he embraced his best life. He is living his best life. What I love about Jeff is that he owned his desire. He fell in love with Lauren and protected their love from seedy tabloids. Lauren brings out the glamour of Jeff and air brushed? Jeff looks well built.
He is the richest man on earth and bought her a huge ring. It is not my personal style but he has the biggest yacht so his fiance has the huge ring. The world is in shambles, yes, they can use their money in other ways but they have also donated to Dolly Parton. Jeff has shown his humanitarian side. He could have paid Amazon workers more but now he is duking it out with Elon’s company who has tanked Twitter/X. I like Jeff’s recent human side, his fun, and party side and as all future wives, Lauren laments he works all the time. She seems to snap him out of it for some relaxation and look fabulous doing it.
She looks good in her fashion choices, Victoria Beckham–huge respect to her after the Netflix documentary. I didn’t know it was going to make me cry but omg it made me bawl what David had to go through. She also wore other designers in her article in Vogue, and truly, all brides to be would love Vogue coverage. I wish her the best of it all and she shared the link to the article. I have seen her share footage from concerts, her humanitarian efforts, and she does it looking like a doll.

I agree with Jeff that the salt is a very important part of the margarita experience.
Others have commented that the relationship would not last as of 2022. I love Jeff’s glasses in this shoot.
This is my favorite of her work. She looks incredible. She also wore a gorgeous white outfit with roses for a dance party. She seems fun and shares drink recipes. I wish Jeff and Lauren the best in their marriage. It is wonderful that they are age appropriate for each other with a 6 year age gap and age is only a number going by how stunning Lauren looks in outfits.
I love the second picture here and how adorable they look together. They are a team. He is so proud of her and she has earned that diamond in maintaining her looks and appearance. Her career is promoting his causes so she has devoted herself to him and looks forward to being Mrs. Bezos!
