While the $500 million sailing megayacht Koru undergoes maintenance at the renowned La Ciotat shipyard in France, Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez, stole the spotlight from the front row of Chanel’s Spring 2026 fashion show in Paris, according to Luxury Launches.
According to the publication, Bezos’ Koru — currently the world’s largest sailing superyacht at 128 meters long — arrived in La Ciotat for end-of-season servicing, a kind of five-star nautical spa, while the billionaire couple enjoyed the sophistication of France’s fashion capital. Even though they weren’t physically together at the same location, the simultaneous presence of the yacht and the couple in French territory reinforces the country’s status as the playground of the rich and famous.
Luxury Launches reports that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez drew attention during creative director Matthieu Blazy’s debut at Chanel, sitting in prime seats alongside celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Kendall Jenner, Penélope Cruz, and Pedro Pascal.
The show amazed the audience with a cosmic set design, featuring a suspended solar system with Saturn and a blazing sun orbiting above two catwalks — but it was Jeff Bezos, with an estimated fortune of $234 billion, and his wife who truly commanded the spotlight.
Lauren Sánchez looked stunning in a black-and-white Chanel maxi dress with rosette detailing, while the Amazon founder opted for a black suit over a fitted sweater, complemented by blue sunglasses and a gray beard — a perfect blend of elegance and modernity.
The couple, who married in June in Venice, continue to mingle with the international elite. It is still unclear whether they will head to the Koru after the show or return to their residence. According to Luxury Launches, the Oceanco-built yacht has been in La Ciotat since mid-September, undergoing renovation and routine maintenance, while the French capital basks in the glamour of haute couture season.
The site also recalls that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s presence in Paris is nothing new: Lauren’s bachelorette celebration earlier this year included a cruise along the Seine, rooftop soirées at the Cheval Blanc, and a guest list featuring Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria — an event that dominated global headlines.
