Lauren Sanchez threw her billionaire fiancé Jeff Bezos an out-of-this-world 60th birthday party, with a star-studded guest list that included everyone from Kim Kardashian to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
The private party was held at the couple's Beverly Hills mansion and was themed “Celestial Space Age,” a reference to the Amazon founder's aerospace company Blue Origin, The Sun reported.
Sanchez, 54, channeled her inner Jessica Rabbit in a custom red Swarovski crystal dress by designer Laura Basci, likely to the delight of Bezos, who turned 60 on January 12.
According to a press release from the brand via the New York Post, beading the dress required more than 800 hours by hand.

The day after the party, Sanchez proudly debuted her look on Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes photos of herself posing in her dressing room before the party.
“Getting ready is sometimes the best part of the evening.” “Thank you @laurabasci for creating this incredible dress for such a special evening,” she wrote in the caption.
Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Kendell Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Jay-Z and Beyoncé were among the hundreds of guests spotted at the lavish birthday bash, a source told The Sun.
Sanchez went all out for her future husband's birthday and set up a replica of Bezos' first Amazon office with his original chair, the insider said.
Guests were served “everything from caviar to McDonald's,” a tribute to the billionaire's first job when he was 16.
The source added that “photography was prohibited at the event” and attendees had to “put their phones in bags” upon arrival.
Many guests confirmed their presence with posts and comments on Instagram, including Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Ivanka Trump, Heidi Klum, Jewel, Kathy Hilton and her daughters Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton Rothschild.

Nicky, 40, and her older sister Paris, 42, both shone in silver. The former wore a sparkly spaghetti strap dress paired with a star tiara, while the latter wore a long-sleeved dress made of laser-cut stars.
“Such a fun evening,” Trump, 42, commented, adding rocket and space emojis.

Sanchez first celebrated Bezos' birthday on January 12 with an effusive tribute that featured a picture of the world's third-richest man as a toddler.
In the snap, he appeared to be celebrating his second birthday as he sat in a high chair in front of a chocolate cake with two candles in it.
“Look who’s turning 60,” Sanchez wrote in the caption. 'Happy birthday my dear. Today is another day when your laughter fills our home and your smile lights up every room.
“I wish you an abundance of simple joys and quiet moments of happiness.” May this year be filled with everything you love, from peaceful mornings to joyful celebrations.
“I hope that every day brings you countless reasons to smile, just like you give me a reason to smile every day. 'I love you and happy birthday, my love.'
Sanchez later returned to Instagram to post a sexy photo of herself modeling a $2,095 sheer Dolce & Gabbana dress.
She slipped the figure-hugging dress over a black balconette bra and matching underwear before striking a pose in honor of Bezos.
“Happy birthday baby,” she captioned the picture of herself rocking a shaggy hairstyle with blunt bangs.

Sanchez revealed on her Instagram Stories that they rang in her future husband's birthday in Paris before his party.
She posted a picture of the stunning view of the Eiffel Tower from her hotel window, including a close-up of a bouquet of white roses.
“The best morning with the birthday boy,” she wrote.
The escape came less than a month after Sanchez celebrated her 54th birthday on December 19 aboard Bezos' $500 million mega-yacht off the coast of St. Barts.
It's unclear when the couple started dating, but their romance was first revealed by the National Enquirer in January 2019, when they were both married to other people.
Shortly afterwards, the mogul divorced Mackenzie Scott, to whom he was married for more than 25 years and mother of his four children, while the former journalist left her husband Patrick Whitesell, chairman of Endeavor, the parent company of talent agency WME.
Bezos and Sanchez made their first public appearance together in May of this year and four years later they got engaged in May 2023.
In an interview in the November issue of Vogue, the bride-to-be commented on the moment Bezos proposed to her.
She remembered him popping the question on his yacht after they enjoyed a romantic dinner together under the stars.
Bezos hid the pink diamond engagement ring under her pillow and admitted she almost “fainted” when she saw it.
Sanchez said they were in the early stages of planning their wedding and noted that she was more focused on the billionaire's 60th birthday party.
“We're still thinking about the wedding and what it's going to look like.” Will it be big? Will it be abroad? “We don’t know yet,” she explained.
