Lauren Sánchez finally swapped her signature slip dresses for a more Aspen-ready look, though fans were still divided over whether the outfit flattered her. See the outfit here!

Last month, the Amazon mogul and Sánchez celebrated their first Christmas as husband and wife in Aspen, Colorado, where the couple was spotted strolling through the snowy streets in head-turning ensembles.

Instead of reaching for a classic style, the former journalist opted for Gen Z–approved barrel-leg jeans, one of 2025’s biggest denim trends. The style is known for its curved, voluminous silhouette that balloons at the hips and thighs before tapering sharply at the ankle, earning nicknames like “horseshoe” or “balloon” jeans.

Lauren Sánchez Wears Barrel-Leg Jeans

She styled the statement jeans with a fitted black-and-white long-sleeve zip-up top, leather boots, a slim belt, and a leather handbag, finishing the look with sunglasses and stud earrings. Jeff, meanwhile, also wore jeans, pairing them with a black shirt, a sweater, a cowboy hat, and sunglasses for a laid-back Aspen vibe.

While the couple certainly turned heads in Aspen with their fashion-forward looks, many Instagram users felt their outfits missed the mark and looked a bit silly.

“Those jeans are hideous,” said one user. A second wrote, “They both look like their clothes are from Amazon marketplace. It’s awful.” A third noted, “She looks like a lady wrestler.” A fourth quipped, “Those jeans are cartoonish.” Someone else claimed, “Barrel jeans are awful.” Another person said, “Money doesn't buy good taste.” One person noted, “Balloon trousers don't look good with designer bag!” and someone else replied, "Barrel jeans - not for me."

Others thought this was one of her chicest looks, with positive comments including, "She is so beautiful," "They look good as always," and "Those jeans look good on her."

Jeff Bezos Is Reportedly 'Drained' By Lauren Sánchez

While the couple appears happier than ever in their marriage, recent reports suggest a different story. Following their Aspen getaway, they rang in the New Year at Nikki Beach in celeb hotspot St. Barts. The mother of three was spotted dancing atop her banquette in a strapless top and mini skirt, filming on her phone as bottle service arrived to celebrate a birthday, while Bezos sat beside her, taking it all in and reportedly looking “drained.”

Rob Shuter of #ShuterScoop recently reported that Bezos has struggled to keep up with his wife’s high energy.

“Lauren’s energy is non-stop,” a source said. “She was jumping, dancing, laughing — and Jeff was hanging on for dear life. He looked wiped.” The insider added, “It was like a whirlwind — Jeff just followed along.”

Another source claimed, “He’s happy, but he’s clearly worn out trying to match her.”

Bezos tied the knot with the 56-year-old in an extravagant, multi-day wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, with the main ceremony held on Friday, June 27, 2025. The festivities kicked off with pre-wedding events on June 26 and wrapped up with a post-wedding party on June 28, attended by high-profile guests including the Kardashian-Jenner family, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and many more. He was previously married to MacKenzie Scott from 1993 to 2019.
