The executive director of the Serum Institute of India, Natasha Poonawalla, was one of the guests who was invited to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. The diva, who is known for her maximalist take on fashion, turned heads at the wedding in an archival Dior dress, straight from the 1960s.
Taking to her Instagram, Natasha Poonawalla shared a few pictures of her OOTD from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding. Sharing the pictures, she wrote, “Bringing amulets, haute couture, and all the best luck for everlasting love to Jeff & Lauren! Thank you for letting me be part of your spectacular celebration – your heartfelt vows and the exceptional speeches of your beautiful children moved us all. Surrounded by close family and friends, your love story truly shines. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness together! @laurensanchezbezos @jeffbezos.”

For her appearance at the wedding, Natasha reached into the deepest corners of fashion history and emerged golden. Her choice for the ceremony: a vintage gold Dior dress from the 1960s, all shimmer and sophistication. The gleaming skirt caught the light just right, while flirty tie-up shoulder straps added a youthful lift. She styled it with a vintage Hermès Kelly and a headpiece featuring what appeared to be a Blackamoor figurine.
Blackamoor figures originate in European decorative art and typically depict African subjects in ornate dress. While some regard them as symbols of status or craftsmanship, they remain deeply controversial due to their colonial undertones and racialised imagery. Though still crafted in Venice as part of a long-standing tradition, where they’re known as Moretto Veneziano, their appearance in modern fashion continues to raise eyebrows and spark debate.
Earlier at the Met Gala, Natasha made headlines (again) in a Manish Malhotra moment – embroidered, exaggerated, and entirely unforgettable. The look was elevated further with a striking necklace, worn like an armour of glam.
Married to Adar Poonawalla, CEO of the Serum Institute of India, Natasha has built a reputation for assembling jaw-dropping, era-spanning ensembles that read less like outfits and more like curated exhibitions. As always, Natasha Poonawalla didn’t just show up to the wedding; she made a statement.
