00:00Megyn Kelly recently stirred up conversation with her comments about Sidney Sweeney's appearance.

00:05Megyn suggested that her physical features were the reason she received an invitation

00:08to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's lavish wedding celebration in Venice, Italy.

00:14During an episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the former news anchor shared her opinion

00:19on the guest list for the three-day event, which was attended by some of the world's

00:23most recognizable celebrities. Sidney Sweeney's the new toast of the town out there,

00:27Megyn said, before questioning how the young actress managed to score an invitation

00:31to one of the most exclusive wedding events of 2025. Megyn then added that, in her view,

00:37it would have made more sense if the guest list were limited to

00:40longtime colleagues or early business associates of Jeff or Lauren.

00:45If you told me it was like Lauren Sanchez's colleagues from the first news station she worked

00:49at, sure, that's normal, Megyn said. That's what a true friend would do, invite their lifelong friends.

00:55She also mentioned that she could understand big-name tech leaders being present,

01:00citing Jeff's fellow industry titan Bill Gates as a more expected attendee.

01:04However, the real reason Sidney was invited appears to have less to do with personal friendships

01:08and more to do with her rising profile in the entertainment industry.

01:13According to sources close to the event, Sidney was invited because she's starring in an upcoming film

01:17for Amazon MGM Studios. While she may not be a close personal friend of either Jeff or Lauren,

01:23her involvement with one of Amazon's major projects likely played a key role in her invitation.

01:29She is not friends with either one of them, a source confirmed, but noted that Sidney attended

01:34the celebration to pay respects to the boss, just like in the old days of Hollywood. In other words,

01:41her presence was more about professional courtesy and less about personal connections,

01:46a familiar custom in the entertainment industry, especially when studio executives are involved.

01:50Sidney Sweeney's appearance in Venice certainly didn't go unnoticed. She made several high-profile

01:56appearances during the festivities, starting with the pre-wedding celebration. On the day of the

02:00actual ceremony, she wore a stunning pink Oscar de la Renta gown that turned heads as guests gathered

02:06on San Giorgio Maggiore Island to witness Jeff and Lauren's elegant wedding. Throughout the weekend,

02:12Sidney was also spotted mingling with other celebrity guests. One memorable moment captured on video

02:17showed her dancing with former NFL quarterback Tom Brady at the wedding reception. The following day,

02:23she was seen enjoying a relaxed stroll through Venice alongside Brady and fellow actor Orlando Bloom,

02:29who recently made headlines following his split from pop star Katy Perry. On the final evening of the

02:35wedding celebration, Sidney wore a dramatic black dress by Galia Lahav for a themed pajama party,

02:41drawing admiration from fans and media alike for her fashion choices throughout the weekend.

02:46In addition to Sidney, the star-studded guest list for Jeff and Lauren's wedding included major

02:51celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and members of the Kardashian family, among others.

02:58The guest list reflected the couple's deep connections in media, entertainment, and technology,

03:04and emphasized just how much star power was gathered to celebrate their big day. While Meghan's

03:10remarks ignited some online debate, many fans and industry insiders pushed back on her assumptions.

03:16Supporters of Sidney pointed out that she's been steadily rising in Hollywood thanks to standout

03:21shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus, along with her work in major film productions. Her growing

03:27relationship with Amazon MGM Studios only strengthens her status as a major talent worth watching,

03:34and likely explains her presence at such a high-profile event. It's also worth noting that Sidney handled the

03:39attention surrounding her attendance with grace. Despite being in the spotlight during a weekend packed with

03:44A-listers, she remained composed and stylish, embracing the celebration while maintaining a

03:50professional and respectful demeanor. For Sidney, the event may have been more than just a glamorous

03:55getaway. It was also a moment to solidify her place among Hollywood's elite, and show her

04:00appreciation for the entertainment partners helping shape her career.
