A-list stars have flocked to the romantic city of Venice to attend the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, reveling in the opportunity to parade their slimmer bodies amid the Ozempic trend sweeping Hollywood.
Oprah Winfrey – who has lost nearly 50 pounds with the aid of one of the newly popular weight-loss drugs – lead the pack of celebrities flaunting much smaller physiques, alongside her best friend Gayle King, 70, who has also dropped the pounds.
Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, looked considerably thinner as he arrived for the celebrations, although his method for recently transforming from tubby to trim remains a mystery.
Kim Kardashian, 44, and her sisters also showcased their impossibly small waistlines.
But the bride-to-be was not to be outdone – with Sanchez, 55, wearing the most eye-popping corset of all to her pre-wedding party at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters on Thursday night.
The wedding ceremony itself is set to take place on Friday, June 27 – but festivities are already underway in preparation for the big day.
Winfrey, 71, looked more confident than ever at the pre-wedding party while sporting a purple and white-colored ensemble with small cutouts on the sides that showcased her shrinking midriff.

Suddenly slim Leonardo DiCaprio also revealed his trim new look
Her locks were partially pulled back away from her face with a black headband and she also slipped into a pair of white sneakers.
Oprah sported a pair of brown-rimmed shades and carried a large tote bag in her hand before heading to her hotel.
The former talk show host has showed off her slimmer figure in recent months – such as when she made an appearance at the 2025 Tony Awards earlier this month in NYC.
Back in 2023, the star admitted to taking weight loss medication and at the time she told People, ‘I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing…
‘The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.’
Winfrey added, ‘I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself’ and explained she had recommended weight loss drugs to people before making the choice to also take the medication for herself.
However, despite her weight loss journey being aided by medication, Oprah told the outlet that she also sticks to a fitness regime to also shed pounds, and maintain a lower weight.
And earlier this year in January, the star expressed that taking weight-loss drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, helped her realize the truth about ‘thin people.’

Kim has also recently sparked surgery speculation as she continues to flash her tiny waistline
Kim Kardashian has also recently sparked surgery speculation as she continues to flashy her very tiny waistline.
As she arrived to Venice on Thursday, the TV personality showcased her sculpted midriff in a Balenciaga outfit.
The mom-of-four donned a strapless, black bandeau top as well as a maxi skirt and snakeskin boots.
Her slim waist was further put on display as she later also stopped by the star-studded bash in a snakeskin Versace dress that clung to her curves and had small cutouts on the front.
Bedazzled embellishments were added on the plunging neckline as well as the straps that wrapped around her shoulders.
The star’s long dark locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
Kim has briefly opened up about her size in the past, such as in 2018 when Elle Magazine reported that she had a 24 inch waist and hips that measured 39 inches.
The media personality also notably dropped 21 pounds in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s iconic dress for the Met Gala back in 2022.

The bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez also flaunted her slim waist while heading to Thursday’s party in Venice.
She wore a strapless gold dress with a fitted, corset bodice as well as intricate embroidery on the skirt and top portion.
The journalist slipped into a pair of closed-toed, gold pumps and styled her locks into a chic ponytail.
Bezos was seen helping Lauren into a boat as they headed to their next destination and the pair later sent waves to onlookers nearby.
Speculation has previously arisen that Sanchez has undergone procedures such as a facelift and injectable fillers.
Back in April, she uploaded an Instagram clip ahead of her Blue Origin space trip – and plastic surgeons told DailyMail.com that they believe she had additional fillers in her cheeks and lips as well as fresh Botox around her eyes at the time.
Khloe Kardashian was also seen joining her mom Kris Jenner and most of her siblings during the wedding extravaganza this week.
The Good American founder put on a stylish display wearing a fitted dress with small cutouts on the material and a lowcut neckline.

Earlier in the day, the beauty showed off her toned figure wearing an animal-print jumpsuit as she arrived to Venice.
Last week on her Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, she addressed the ‘gross’ reaction that she got over her weight loss.
‘The bigger I was, I was way more confident. I think because, like, what are going to say about me? I know all the things you’re going to say. I would have my days that I would feel low and all of that.’
She added, ‘When I started my fitness journey and, like, becoming in shape, I felt such a need that I had to keep this up, like even if it wasn’t for me. I felt like, “Well, I can’t get fat again, because everyone is expecting that to happen.”
‘It was also a different type of attention I was now receiving. And then once I got a little older, I was like, “Wait, this is gross.” I hated that that’s why I was getting more attention because I looked a certain way.’
Khloe later reflected, ‘I’ve learned, no matter what, I’m never going to make people happy because I was once bigger, I was thinner, and I had the same amount of people, but from different ends.’
Gayle King – who has also recently showed off her slimmed-down look – was also spotted during the festivities on Thursday.
The TV personality was seen arriving to the Venice Marco Polo airport wearing a long-sleeved white top as well as pastel green cargo pants.

In recent months, fans have begun to speculate that Gayle may have also used Ozempic to help aid in weight loss.
Slimmed-down Leonardo DiCaprio was also seen making an appearance on Thursday with his supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.
The Titanic actor wore a classic black suit as well as a white dress shirt and a black cap that was placed on top of his head.
Fans had previously pointed out the Oscar winner’s fuller figure but he appears to have gone back to his leaner frame in the latest outing this week.
Bezos and Sanchez’s $20 million ceremony will take place on Friday – although it was revealed on Thursday that the couple are already legally married.
A source told DailyMail.com, ‘They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.’
They added, ‘When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married.

‘There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required.
‘Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning,’ the insider continued.
It was also added that the billionaire confirmed both he and Lauren are legally married and that they have signed a prenuptial agreement as well.
The A-list guests that are attending the wedding – including the Kardashian/Jenner clan – are staying at five star hotels in Venice such as the Aman, The Gritti Palace and the Cipriani.
