Reality stars, actors, royals and a whole host of A-listers have travelled to Venice for the lavish wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and TV presenter Lauren Sanchez.

Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Kylie Jenner and Ivanka Trump were just some of the celebrities seen on the boats and streets of the Italian city on Thursday and Friday.

The festivities are expected to last three days, ending with a large party for the married couple and their hundreds of guests on Saturday.

The event has attracted protests from a variety of groups in Venice, including locals fighting over-tourism to climate change activists.

Sanchez, 55, wore a lace Dolce & Gabbana haute couture gown for the wedding - she was seen smiling alongside a jubilant Bezos, 61, after the ceremony, in a picture posted on Instagram.

An estimated 200 people were invited to Friday's ceremony on the small island of San Giorgio, where Matteo Bocelli - son of Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli - reportedly performed.

While the exact cost of the wedding is not known, estimates range from $20m (£14m) to more than $50m.
