Lauren Sanchez is set to wed Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos on Friday in Venice, Italy, in what's being dubbed the wedding of the year - with the couple set to exchange vows in front of a crowd of 200 A-listers.

The lovebirds are hosting a multi-day-long extravaganza of celebrations which kicked off with a foam party on Bezos' $500 million superyacht.

They are said to have rented out a number of places in the Italian city to celebrate the lavish nuptials. 

An insider told Daily Mail last week that San Georgio Maggiore island is 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 to June 29.

The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media.

The guests list is star-studded, and includes Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady and a now-single Orlando Bloom. 

Ivanka was already seen arriving with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children Tuesday in the Italian city - as well as fashion mogul Diane von Furstenberg. 

So, as the historic weekend commences, here is FEMAIL's take on best and worst dressed guests:

BEST DRESSED

Here comes the bride! The soon-to-be Mrs. Bezos looked beautiful as she stepped into a water taxi with future husband Jeff on Thursday evening to head to the latest festivities. She wore a curve-hugging, champagne-colored strapless dress from Schiaparelli's Spring 2025 couture line with blue, green and gold embroidery all over it. She matched the dress with a pair of dark-champagne colored pumps, and kept things minimal with classic stud earrings
Tom Brady looked especially handsome on Thursday as he kept things simple and casual-cool in a white button-down dress shirt and black pants. He wore a pair of black sunglasses to protect his eyes from the Venice heat, and draped a khaki-colored blazer around his arm. His appearance at the wedding comes just a few months after his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, welcomed a baby with partner Joaquim Valente
The groom, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos, looked sharp in a tailored gray suit with one button at the center. Underneath, he paired it with a crisp, white button down shirt that peeked through the sleeves of his jacket. He paired it with a pair of round Dior sunglasses
Cool for the summer! Oprah looked great on Thursday evening as she got into a water taxi in a dark maroon and white patterned dress. The frock included cut-outs at the sides, and she tied together the look with a pair of chic, round glasses
A newly-single Orlando Bloom looked very summer-y in a pair of light khaki pants and a white button-down as he got into a water taxi on Thursday evening. He had a matching khaki suit jacket, and sported a closely-cropped haircut that looked freshly styled
Pretty in pink! Karlie Kloss stunned in a silk gown complete with a gorgeous draped top. She carried a clutch bag under her arm as she held hands with her husband Joshua Kushner
Elegant as ever! Queen Rania of Jordan looked amazing in an elaborate, detailed gown that featured a pink scarf tied around the front. It also featured a high neckline and what appeared to be netted detailing. To match the scarf, she carried a pink clutch bag in her hands

WORST DRESSED 

Kim Kardashian didn't seem to be following the summer wedding theme as she stepped out in a curve-hugging, snakeskin dress with bedazzled straps and a lace-up detailing at the bust. She wore a dark smokey eye and a large cocktail ring, bringing the look together with her super long pink nails
Too casual? Kendall Jenner kept things quite simple in what appeared to be a vintage spring 2002 Roberto Cavalli dress, which featured a halter neckline and a pink and orange floral motif. It also included details of an angel at the skirt. Kendall kept things easy with minimal accessories
Not our favorite! When Ivanka Trump arrived to Venice on Tuesday, she put on a whopping $1,170 crop-top and skirt set from designer La DoubleJ. The outfit was complete with red embroidery, but the skirt seemed to hit her at an awkward length. She brought the look together with a pair of large, round black sunglasses
Both of these looks missed the mark, as she sported a very bridal-esque Oscar de la Renta dress on Thursday night
The bride-to-be's fellow Blue Origin astronaut Gayle King arrived to Venice on Wednesday wearing a pair of ill-fitting, oversized light green cargo pants and a white v-neck tee shirt. She clutched a denim jacket in one hand and kept things casual in a pair of translucent eye glasses
Gaudy in gold! Kylie Jenner looked a bit out of place as she sported a busty, gold lace bodycon dress on Thursday evening alongside her sister, Kendall. She completed the look with a small black purse and black sunglasses
Blast from the past! Singer Usher arrived on Thursday for the festivities in a suit that looked like it was from the 1980's and striped blouse underneath. He also wore a big necklace with a 'U' pendant on it, and wire glasses
Too much going on! Kris Jenner wore a black tulle gown on Thursday night as she jetted off in a water taxi with her family. The dress had huge, oversized shoulders and sleeves. She paired the look with a sleek bob and big, diamond statement earrings
