Upon first glance, the photographs from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding appear to be picture-perfect.
But further inspection revealed that some things don’t quite add up, according to eagle-eyed observers online.
“I’m wondering if the whole thing was fake now…” a social media user commented online.
The internet has been fixating on little details from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding photos
The billionaire founder, 61, and the Emmy-winning journalist, 55, got married in a lavish three-day celebration in Venice, Italy.
Lauren wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana lace gown while exchanging vows in front of roughly 200 guests, which included Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, Usher, Tom Brady, and others.
As pictures from the wedding circulated online, netizens began claiming that some of the photos were “poorly” edited.
Some even speculated whether the images were generated by AI (artificial intelligence).
Speculators pointed out odd inconsistencies like warped fingers and even a chair missing a leg in one photo
Netizens spotted odd inconsistencies and pointed out how the buttons on Lauren’s intricate lace gown appear to run down the entire length of the dress in one photo. But in another photo, the buttons stop abruptly at the waist.
There could be several reasons for the button discrepancy, such as last-minute alterations or the dress being put on backwards first.
“Is this a social experiment? Why one picture has buttons going all the way through the back of the dress, another ends at the waistline?” read one comment.
Some also wondered why a safety pin was left on her dress in one of the pictures shared on Lauren’s Instagram page.
“I’m wondering if the whole thing was fake now? A safety pin in what’s probably a $50,000 dress when there’s probably 3 seamstresses on stand by? Nope,” read one comment online.
Another wrote, “Safety pin in first pic, disappearing buttons in third.”
“The real question [is] if they are faking this, then why all the imperfections?” one commenter asked
Others claimed the pictures had warped fingers, distorted objects, and there was even a chair missing a leg in the background of one of the photographs.
“How many thumbs you got, girl?” read one comment, while another asked, “But why is it so poorly done?”
“The real question [is] if they are faking this, then why all the imperfections?” said another.
Content creator Allison McSorley went viral for suggesting the photos were AI-generated
@safeonlinefutures Jeff Bezos is one of the biggest investors in AI. So why are his wedding photos full of warped fingers, blurry lace, and dress details that don’t match? This isn’t about fashion.

“Amazing eye for detail. We’re being fooled,” read yet another comment.
“Every time I’ve seen a picture it looked totally AI generated to me and I was wondering why nobody was talking about it,” another wrote.
Some pointed out that editing or enhancing photos was an absolutely normal phenomenon that’s been done for years.
“Photos have been edited and photoshopped for several generations. Why is it suddenly nefarious and AI? I don’t get it, this is not a new thing…” one comment said.
A viral content creator named Allison McSorley took the conspiracy theories a step further.
She racked up 1.2 million views by sharing a video about how these aren’t “photo glitches” but a “synthetic fairytale” created by AI.
“This isn’t just about AI mistakes. This is about how billionaires + legacy media collude to sell us curated, computer-generated narratives,” she wrote in the caption of one post.
Jeff “is a major investor in AI,” Allison said before asking her audience, “Why are we letting billionaires rewrite reality — and trusting the media to go along with it?”

Ahead of the nuptials, Lauren said she was following the wedding tradition of having “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”
A pair of Dolce & Gabbana earrings was her “something borrowed,” and her “something blue” was a secret souvenir from her Blue Origin flight that she planned to give her husband.
She did not specify what the mysterious item was.
@safeonlinefutures Same wedding. More AI glitches. No rings. Warped fingers. Fake buttons.

One photo of Lauren getting ready left netizens uncomfortable when they saw two uniformed women standing in the background.
“The peasants in the back,” one wrote online, while another commented, “the faces of the women in the background says it all.”
“She has a set of elves,” one netizen commented on the two uniformed women seen in the background
Further online chatter was triggered after Lauren’s sister Elena Sánchez Blair shared special moments from the $50 million Venetian wedding.
The pictures led to netizens mocking Lauren’s plastic surgeries after she was seen with her younger sister.
Following the wedding, Lauren made her first public appearance as a newlywed in Paris this week.
“That dress is so tight her fake boobs are almost up to her neck,” one netizen said about her skintight, fire-red Versace dress.
Another asked, “Was that her wedding present, bigger balloons?”
“Looks like poor Photoshop skills,” read one comment online
