Lauren Sanchez joins A-list stars for day 2 of her bachelorette party

May 16, 2025

Bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez was surrounded by her A-list pals as she kicked off day two of her bachelorette celebrations in Paris. 

Lauren, 55, ensured all eyes would be on her as she headed into L Avenue restaurant in Paris – and took to social media to document her night.

Lauren – who recently enjoyed a controversial trip into space with Katy Perry — was pictured beaming while surrounded by her pals in the city of love. 

The bride-to-be, soon to wed Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, wrote in an online caption: ‘Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who’ve lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way.’

Among those joining her for the celebrations was popstar Katy, 40, who opted to go braless in a figure-hugging bandeau dress with sash detailing that cinched in her slender waist. 

She was seen exiting the car alongside Kim Kardashian, 44, who opted for skintight black trousers and a crop top.

Having been on the other side of France for Cannes Film Festival the night before, Eva Longoria jetted into Paris to celebrate with her friend. 

She looked effortlessly chic on the outing, pairing a mocha satin blouse with nude trousers that skimmed over peep-toe heels.  

DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal that glamorous journalist Lauren has a full weekend of celebrations planned and kicked off her pre-wedding festivities with a luxury dinner. 

The group were in high spirits, especially Kim who this week gave evidence at the trial of 10 people accused in connection with the 2016 robbery in Paris.

A source close to Kim told DailyMail.com: ‘Spending girl time at Lauren’s bachelorette was a great way to end the week after testifying. She’s glad it’s over but thankful she was asked to testify as part of the trial.’

Lauren and her famous friends enjoyed dinner at the historic Lafayette’s Paris restaurant in Paris, which offers refined French dishes with a modern twist.

Katy, Lauren and four other women previously completed their all-female mission to space aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket on April 14.

The A-list crew travelled for 11 minutes, reaching an altitude of 62 miles (100km) and crossing the Karman Line, the official boundary of space. 

Also on board were CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, activist Amanda Nguyen, and former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe.

The New Shepard Rocket carried the capsule to the edge of space at nearly twice the speed of sound before detaching and allowing the crew to experience a few minutes of weightlessness.

During that period the crew capsule crossed the Karman Line, technically passing from Earth’s atmosphere into space.

The capsule then made the return journey back to Earth, as the unfurling parachutes drew screams from the crew onboard.

Blue Origin Flight NS-31 was the first launch with an all-female crew since Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova’s solo space flight in 1963. 

Katy said ahead of the launch they were ‘putting the “a*s” in astronaut’. 

Kim's mother Kris Jenner was also seen making her way into the venue, looking chic in a structured grey jacket that she paired with a matching skirt and chunky heels

Speaking about the latest festivities in Paris reuniting the Blue Origin ‘astronauts’, a source at Lafayette said Lauren hosted an ‘excellent party’. 

They shared: ‘We recognised a lot of big names, including Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry,’ he said. ‘They were all delightful, and a pleasure to have here.’

They were treated to starters that included fried chicken, Caesar salad priced at $28 apiece, and $22 Norwegian smoked salmon, and a main course that featured mushroom rigatoni at $31 a head and roasted chicken costing $105 each. 

English Channel sole was available at €78, as well as rib-eye steak (€46), caviar on warm potatoes (€75), and truffle on macaroni and cheese (€38).

Deserts included crème caramel at €12 each and Rum Barba at €20. 

Mory Sacko, 32, is the star chief chef at Lafayette’s, and he concentrates on French dishes with an American and African twist.

Asked what the ladies had to drink, the source said: ‘Mainly water and soft drinks, although there was a bit of champagne drunk too.’

Among the other friends who joined her was October Gonzalez, the wife of her football player ex Tony Gonzalez, with whom Lauren shares son Nikko, 24. 

Lauren is on friendly terms with October, as the pair are often seen socializing with one another on a regular basis.

Not only has Lauren been on vacation with her former partner Tony and October, she regularly attends events with the 44-year-old and they even spent Thanksgiving together last year.

Tony and Lauren separated shortly after Nikko’s birth in February 2001.

Lauren was also joined by businesswoman Elsa Collins, Natasha Poonawalla, Lydia Kives, Charissa Thompson, and Veronica Smiley Grazer. 

Lauren and Jeff, 61, are expected to walk down the aisle next month, and the unusual venue for the ceremony is raising some eyebrows.

The couple, who have reportedly booked Elton John and Lady Gaga to perform, could say their ‘I dos’ on a Venetian island in an open-air theater.

The billionaire, his bride and some 200 guests have reportedly already booked rooms at the best hotels. 

Jeff’s mega yacht is also expected to be a part of the festivities, although neither the future bride or groom would confirm. 

Guests are expected to include: several members of the Kardashian/Jenner family, Perry and her fiancé Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and along with model Karlee Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner. 

President Donald Trump has also reportedly been invited to the nuptials.

Officials from the city of Venice have said they lobbied Jeff and Lauren to hold the wedding there.

Morris Ceron, the director general of the Venice council told the London Times he personally approached the Amazon founder about choosing the ancient city for the wedding.

Lauren and Jeff went public with their relationship in 2019. The pair got engaged in May 2023, after Jeff popped the question on board his $500million superyacht.

Their engagement followed the couple having an affair, which Jeff has admitted to, leading to his divorce from wife of 25 years Mackenzie Scott in 2019 and Lauren’s split from husband Patrick Whitesell, who she married in 2005, with whom she shares a son and daughter.

Lauren also shares a son with former flame once-NFL tight end Tony Nikko, who was born in 2001.

Four years after their affair was revealed to the world by the National Enquirer, Jeff asked Lauren to marry him, providing a pear diamond estimated to be worth at least $2million.

Since then, the couple have flaunted their love around the world, with holidays aboard Jeff’s megayacht.

As well as their luxury yacht trips, the couple take trips to five-star resorts, private jet flights and beachside getaways.

They dine in sought-after restaurants, attend elite parties, and mingle with some of Jeff’s celebrity friends.
