Lauren Sanchez stepped out for a glamorous girls' night in Los Angeles this week, leaving her billionaire husband Jeff Bezos at their Beverly Hills home. The former journalist, 55, was joined by model and reality TV star Brooks Nader, 28, for a dinner at the upscale Italian restaurant Cucina Alba in West Hollywood.
Daring Fashion Takes Centre Stage
The duo made a striking style statement, appearing to have pre-coordinated their daring, see-through ensembles for the evening. Sanchez arrived covered in a long, fuzzy blue peacoat with gold buttons, but the outfit beneath was revealed to be a dark navy lace top that was entirely sheer.
She completed her look with dark brown-tinted sunglasses, black satin pointed-toe pumps, and a sparkling clutch shaped like a silver Christmas ornament. Diamond stud earrings peeked out from her chocolate brown waves.
Meanwhile, Brooks Nader opted for no outerwear, braving the evening in a sheer, flowing blouse worn without a bra, paired with a tiny miniskirt and sheer tights. Her monochromatic black outfit was punctuated by a bright red patent leather clutch.
A Friendship Spanning a 27-Year Age Gap
The two women, who share a 27-year age difference, have been documented as close friends since at least 2024, often sharing glimpses of their glamorous get-togethers on social media, sometimes including Nader's sisters.
Their bond was further cemented earlier this year when Nader was a guest at Sanchez's multi-day, multi-million pound Venetian wedding to Jeff Bezos in late June. The extravagant nuptials, reportedly costing between $50 and $60 million, featured private water taxis, a foam party on the couple's superyacht, and immense security.
Reflecting on the wedding at the ESPY Awards, Nader told E! News, 'She is glowing head to toe. She's just such an incredible woman and I'm so happy she found the love of her life.'
From LA to Paris: A Pattern of Glamorous Outings
This is not the first time the pair have been spotted in similarly eye-catching attire. Their last public dinner together was in July at the exclusive Parisian restaurant Lapérouse, where they also wore bold ensembles.
For their West Hollywood outing, the friends were pictured leaving the restaurant arm-in-arm, strutting down the street in their pointed-toe stilettos in a display of close camaraderie. Sanchez had departed from the $175 million Beverly Hills mega-mansion she shares with the Amazon founder, a compound which notably includes a UFO-shaped sauna.
The guest list for Sanchez's wedding highlighted the couple's A-list circle, including figures like Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Oprah Winfrey, underscoring the high-profile social world these glamorous nights out inhabit.
