Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' 'edited' wedding photos send internet wild
By CYDNEY YEATES
Photos of Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos on their wedding day are raising eyebrows after eagle-eyed social media users appeared to spot several photoshop fails.
The blushing bride, 55, tied the knot with the Amazon founder, 61, in Venice, Italy, on June 27 in a lavish three-day celebration which cost an estimated $50 million.
For her big day, Lauren wore a lacy Dolce & Gabbana gown that boasted floral-inspired embellishments, long sleeves, tight bodice, high neckline, enormous train and button studs down the front.
After exchanging vows, she posted a carousel of photos of herself in her wedding dress, as well as snap of herself and Jeff together in front of their loved ones.
At first glance, the pictures look like a sweet tribute to a very special day, but upon closer inspection some have noticed that not everything is as it seems.
Social media users have pointed out that in one photo, Lauren's gown appears to have buttons running all the way down the middle of it. However, in a different snap, the buttons seem to disappear beyond the waistline.
While there could be good reason for this – such as Lauren wearing a different ensemble, or a seamstress removing the buttons at the eleventh hour – some have assumed this is bad editing.
Others noticed that the snap of Lauren and Jeff at their wedding reception appears to have been altered.

A safety pin under Lauren's armpit made its way into this shot of Lauren in her bridal gown - as well as questions about her finger placement
They believe that evidence for this includes wedding guests with warped and missing fingers, as well as a white chair that seems to have a missing leg.
Should celebrities be transparent when editing photos?
Yes
No
Taking their questions and observations to Lauren's Instagram, one asked: 'Why do the buttons at the back of the dress exist in second picture but not in the third?'
Another asked: 'Is this a social experiment? Why one picture has buttons going all the way through the back of the dress, another ends at the waistline?
'What is wrong with her fingers in the first picture? These are really weird things for a wedding that is so publicized. Weirder than the guest list.'
A third pointed out: 'Safety pin in first pic, disappearing buttons in third.'
'How many thumbs you got, girl?' another asked.
'Second and third photo- not the same dress... check where buttons end on the first one...' wrote a fifth.
Additionally, Instagram user Allison McSorley uploaded several posts where she dissected the images in a series of videos.

But in a different photo, the buttons of the dress stopped above the hips
In one post, she said: 'This is what a synthetic fairytale looks like.
'Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding photos show glaring signs of AI manipulation: Buttons that change across images, a random safety pin through lace, distorted guests and warped fingers.
'And one version — blurry, smoothed, fake — was posted directly by Vogue.
'This isn't just about AI mistakes. This is about how billionaires and legacy media collude to sell us curated, computer-generated narratives.'
However, while many seem concerned by Lauren's supposed editing, others pointed out that brides have been manipulating their wedding photos for decades.
'Brides have been editing their pictures since at least 20 years ago when I got married,' one said.
'My photog airbrushed, blurred, enhanced, and removed images from my wedding pics and I know a million plus have as well. It's our one day and we love them to look a perfect. You're reaching boo.'
