Lauren Sanchez turns heads in a red skirt suit as she holds hands with billionaire husband Jeff Bezos at Schiaparelli's Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week show

Lauren Sanchez ensured she stood out on Monday morning as she kicked off Paris Haute Couture week with a front row appearance at Schiaparelli's latest catwalk show. 

The 56-year old stood out in a vibrant red skirt suit as she arrived hand-in-hand with billionaire husband Jeff Bezos ahead of the 10:00am presentation - the first of 49 to be held across four consecutive days in the French capital. 

Teaming her look with a pair of matching red heels, Sanchez stood out while mingling with fellow guests before making her way inside. 

Accessorising in equally distinctive fashion, the former journalist opted for a smart silver handbag replete with gold flourishes, shaped to resemble a face. 

Joining his wife, Amazon CEO Bezos, 62, opted for a comparatively subdued black suit, matching shirt and polished leather Chelsea boots. 

The couple married on the Italian island of San Giorgio Maggiore last June as part of a three-day celebration attended by celebrity friends including Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey and Kim Kardashian.

The estimated $20 million, multi-day event also included a foam party on Bezos' yacht, a lavish prenuptial dinner and a post-wedding lunch at the iconic Harry's Bar.

Ellie Goulding performed at their reception, while Usher also sang at their pajama-themed brunch the next day.

The happy couple got married in a restored amphitheater on the island, as Sanchez wore a high-neck, long sleeve lace Dolce & Gabbana gown that took over 900 hours of atelier to make, per Vogue.

The gown featured a flared skirt, long veil and a tight-fitting waist, with tons of buttons going up the middle.

Throughout the weekend, Sanchez also wore many custom accessories that were a nod to her new last name, like a black rhinestone-encrusted black clutch bag that read, 'Mrs. Bezos' on it in silver gems.

There was a strict no-phone policy and around 70 of the 200 guests were family members.

The wedding was held two years after Bezos popped the question to Sanchez in an 'extremely intimate' proposal on his $500 million superyacht.

In December, Sanchez celebrated her birthday with her high-profile celebrity pals.

The A-list event followed her heartwarming birthday video compilation on social media, which shared an intimate behind-the-scenes look into her wedding extravaganza.

Sanchez shared a clip of herself practicing her walk in her unforgettable Dolce & Gabbana dress, and another of her smiling on a balcony with the Eiffel Tower in the background.

A third showed the socialite wearing a face mask while exercising, seemingly part of her wedding preparations.

'If you had told me when I was a little girl this is what life would look like at 56, I'm not sure I would've believed you.' Sanchez wrote.

She reflected on her marriage, children, book release and space endeavor, saying it has 'grounded' her 'in a way nothing else could.'
