Fact: The average person is likely never getting an invite to Jeff Bezos’ wedding to Lauren Sanchez.

But on Sunday night, plebes got a taste of what her dress may look like at their future nuptials.

As she is wont to do, the former TV personality raised a few eyebrows with her fashion choices, stepping out at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in Beverly Hills looking a lot like a bride.

Since she wasn’t a guest at a wedding, the issue wasn’t that she was upstaging an actual bride.

But wearing white is a bold move — and perhaps a message to her billionaire fiancé to get things moving.

The high-flying couple, who have been dating since 2018 and got engaged in 2023, don’t appear to be in any rush to walk down the aisle.

That’s understandable, as complex prenups take time. In all seriousness, Bezos and Sanchez definitely realize that when they actually do the deed, it will be a paparazzi-swarmed global event.

When “well placed sources” claimed they were getting hitched at Kevin Costner’s ranch in Aspen around the holidays last year, Bezos was forced to shoot down the rumor on X.

“This whole thing is completely false — none of this is happening,” the Amazon founder posted. “The old adage ‘don’t believe everything you read’ is even more true today than it ever has been.”

Don’t look for Sanchez to say much on the topic, either. When Savannah Guthrie slipped in a question about wedding planning on the “Today” show in November, the children’s book author played coy.

“So, you asked,” Sanchez deadpanned, adding that she was “thinking about the dress” and had a Pinterest board.

We have to wonder if the Oscar de la Renta gown the mom of three rocked on Sunday was one of her choices.

The strapless number with a bustier, flared feathery bottom and mini train would actually be perfect for a second wedding.

It got a mostly positive response when she showed it off to her Instagram followers, with people calling the dress such superlatives as “iconic,” “stunning” and “breathtaking.

But at least a few got the (possible) memo:

“Wedding gown vibes.”

“Can’t wait to see you with your wedding dress!!”

“Se casó?” (Did she get married?)
