See what Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos wore to Met Gala

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have been engaged since early last summer

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez hit the Met Gala Monday evening in New York City. 

Sanchez, outfitted in an Oscar De La Renta black velvet and white full-length gown, with a mosaic design described as having the image of a "shattered stained-glass rose", according to Vogue. 

"The shattered glass disappears and reveals the black velvet going up toward her very small waist, which is a gorgeous silhouette," said Oscar De La Renta co-creative director Fernando Garcia in an interview with the magazine. 

As for Sanchez, she likened the dress to life lessons. "In my head, it’s definitely a metaphor for life because it’s a little bit about all your broken pieces in life and putting those pieces back together, she said. "It's not just a dress. It is really a piece of art" Vogue reported. 

She first walked the stairs to the Metropolitan Museum of Art solo, showcasing her outfit for photographers.
