Lauren Sánchez continues to showcase her lavish collection of rare bags. The newlywed made waves this weekend in the South of France, stepping out in Cap d’Antibes with husband Jeff Bezos while carrying a $15,000 Dior Lady Dior Micro Bag that’s already stealing the spotlight.
After a brief stop in the U.S., including their appearance at Sun Valley’s elite tech-and-media conference, the couple traveled back to Europe and was photographed arriving at the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc.
Lauren looked ready for a relaxing and glamorous time in a bold silk Roberto Cavalli gown in vibrant tones of blue, pink, and yellow. But it was her Dior mini bag that turned heads, a beaded, ivory leather collector’s piece featuring the brand’s “Rêve d’Infini” motif by artist Pietro Ruffo.
The bag, originally sold in a custom trunk and no longer available in stores, has become one of the most coveted micro-accessories in luxury fashion. The small purse is part of an ultra-limited Dior release inspired by Christian Dior’s childhood home in Granville, France.

Despite criticism over the wedding’s lavish scale, insider Sara Foster, daughter of music mogul David Foster, painted a different picture on her podcast ‘The World’s First Podcast.’
“No one signed NDAs. No NDAs,” she revealed. “It actually felt very intimate.” She added that many celebrity guests went unphotographed and that the event’s “optics” didn’t match the cozy reality. “It was definitely a very interesting setup.”
