Lauren Sanchez faces social media criticism over White House attire

Lauren Sanchez, partner of Jeff Bezos, has faced social media criticism regarding her attire at a White House state dinner held in honor of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Sanchez wore a black, minimalist Alexander McQueen mermaid-style gown featuring a plunging neckline and off-the-shoulder design, paired with diamond jewelry.

On the platform X, some users labeled the dress ‘completely inappropriate’ for a formal state occasion, with critics suggesting the style lacked dignity. Conversely, other social media users defended her choice, arguing the gown was relatively conservative compared to her previous fashion appearances and praising the selection.
