Paris Fashion Week delivered no shortage of high fashion moments, and one nearly heart-stopping one. Lauren Sanchez Bezos found herself in a brief but very public fashion faux pas when she appeared to stumble in towering heels while arriving at a major couture show. Fortunately, the moment was fleeting, and the author and media personality handled it with the same composure she brought to the rest of her Paris appearances.
Lauren Sanchez handles major oops moment in style at Paris Fashion Week
Lauren Sanchez Bezos didn’t let a minor misstep derail her couture-filled day in Paris. The 56-year-old attended the Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 show on Monday alongside her husband, Jeff Bezos. The pair were photographed arriving hand in hand as cameras flashed outside the venue.
Sanchez Bezos was dressed in a polished light gray tweed ensemble, pairing a fitted knee-length skirt with a coordinating sweater topped by a dramatic fur collar. She completed the look with pointed-toe suede pumps, stylish but clearly not forgiving. As she stepped toward the entrance, her heel appeared to catch on the edge of the doorway, causing her to momentarily lose her footing. According to footage shared by onlookers, she quickly regained her balance and continued inside with ease.
Earlier that same day, Sanchez Bezos had already turned heads at another Paris Fashion Week event. She and her husband attended the Schiaparelli Spring/Summer show, where she opted for a bold red skirt suit cinched with a gold button, paired with matching red heels and a sculptural handbag. Bezos, by contrast, kept things understated in a black suit and leather footwear.
The couple’s Paris appearances come amid a noticeable shift in Bezos’ public style, which has evolved from traditional business attire to more fashion-forward choices. That evolution has not gone unnoticed, especially as the pair prepare for their upcoming role as primary donors of the 2026 Met Gala. They previously made their official debut as a couple at the event in 2024.
Outside of fashion week, Sanchez Bezos has continued to reflect publicly on her life milestones. In recent months, she has shared personal insights about her marriage, family, book release, and space-related projects. “If you had told me when I was a little girl this is what life would look like at 56, I’m not sure I would’ve believed you,” Sanchez Bezos wrote in an Instagram post.
