Awkward employees caught in the background of Lauren Sanchez’s wedding pictures become an internet sensation

Behind-the-scenes snapshots of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos’ wedding have started going viral… for all the wrong reasons.

The blushing bride, 55, tied the knot with her Amazon founder beau, 61, in Venice, Italy, on Friday wearing a lacy Dolce & Gabbana gown.

It boasted floral-inspired embellishments, long sleeves, tight bodice, high neckline, enormous train and button studs down the front.

Right after exchanging vows, Lauren quickly went on Instagram to kickstart her major image overhaul. She wiped out all her previous posts and updated her profile to reflect her new last name, Bezos.

Presently, the only images visible on her profile are of the newly married couple standing side by side, accompanied by a brief caption indicating the date of the special occasion.

The other is a carousel of behind-the-scenes snaps of Lauren’s wedding preparations. 

One of the images captures the ex-journalist in an opulent room at the wedding location, elegantly dressed in her gown, showcasing its striking silhouette.

The second photo, a black and white image, showed Lauren and her team helping her get into the gown, while the third image featured designer Domenico Dolce placing the lace veil on her head.

In the background of one of the snaps were two Dolce & Gabanna atelier tailors wearing outfits reminiscent of maid uniforms – consisting of white pinafores with black detailing to the collars and belt ties

‘Not just a gown, a piece of poetry,’ she captioned the post. ‘Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made.’

But unfortunately for Lauren, fans quickly got hung up on one small detail.

Because in the background of one of the snaps were two Dolce & Gabanna atelier tailors wearing outfits reminiscent of maid uniforms – consisting of white pinafores with black detailing to the collars and belt ties.

The forlorn duo looked somewhat pained as they stood awkwardly and gazed toward Lauren who posed up a storm for the camera.

And their apparent discomfort was quickly picked up on as the pictures began circulating on social media – with some slamming it as another distasteful display of wealth to keep them cropped in the picture.

Highlighting the pair with a large arrow, one user wrote: ‘She willingly posted this. 

‘Ma’am. If ever there was an image to encapsulate this nightmare.’

‘It’s giving Handmaid’s Tale,’ another said, in reference to the best-selling novel about a totalitarian society ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as property of the state.

But the newlyweds (seen earlier today), who have already battled against protestors this week, are unlikely to be bothered by the internet chatter

‘Why is this radicalizing me?’ another quipped.

‘Peak dystopia!’ someone else shared.

Others joked that their outfits were a ‘fetishized’ nod to the 1950s after Lauren told Vogue that she had researched pictures of brides from the era before being inspired by Sophia Loren’s wedding dress from the 1958 movie Houseboat.

But it is not the first time that the newlyweds have come under fire this week amid their extravagant celebrations.

About a dozen Venetian organizations — including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups — have been protesting under the banner ‘No Space for Bezos’ amid complaints he has ‘taken over the city.’

The banner is a play on words referring to his space exploration company Blue Origin and the bride’s recent space flight. 

The protestors have been made up of left wing and environmental groups as well as social forums and one group held a banner saying: ‘Money cannot buy style.’

Another banner read: ’55 million dollars spent on the wedding just to get a divorce in three days.’

Lauren and Jeff, however, seem unbothered by all the criticism of their ostentatious display. 

The couple were hounded by local journalists as they left the Aman hotel – where rooms start at well over $1,000 a night – on Saturday, with one reporter asking: ‘What do you think about the protests, Jeff?’ 

But while Sanchez valiantly ignored the yelled questions, the Amazon founder – who is worth some $230 billion – simply said: ‘Love you guys.’

Keeping it classy, Jeff even then blew a kiss to the Italian reporters.

Earlier this week, Sanchez debuted a giant new wedding ring – an oval-cut diamond worth an estimated $4 million – to dwarf her existing $2.5 million engagement rock.

Courtesy of celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, the new gem is believed to weigh in at around 30 carats.

‘We don’t have a lot of traditions that we’re keeping,’ Sanchez told Vogue ahead of the big day. ‘I mean, I love traditions, but for a 55-year-old woman, it’s a little different.’

But she did admit to keeping to the tradition of not letting her husband-to-be see her dress before the big day – despite the fact they have both been married before.

‘I almost gave in,’ she revealed, adding he ‘begged’ her for a glimpse. ‘But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can’t wait to see his face.’

While her a pair of earrings served as her ‘something borrowed’ on the wedding day, Sanchez gave her ‘something blue’ a cosmic twist – carrying a secret artifact from her recent 11-minute space journey.

‘Blue Origin,’ Sanchez said. ‘It’s something from my space flight.’
