Lauren Sanchez's bachelorette weekend in Paris was no less than a star-studded party

Lauren Sanchez posted a black-and-white carousel on Instagram of her and 11 of her friends celebrating her bachelorette party on a trip to Paris. The peculiar group posed together on the rooftop of the Cheval Blanc Hotel in a post, which she captioned as "Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by the women who’ve lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times, and shaped my heart along the way." The "forever" in the post was referring to the 55-year-old American journalist's upcoming nuptials with billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos. 

Sanchez chose Paris as her choice of destination for her larger-than-life bachelorette party, which was spread across a weekend. Her group of friends featured a group of women you wouldn't usually find in the same room together; from actresses to philanthropists; which is not dissimilar to us meshing our different groups of friends together for a big birthday blowout or family wedding. In most cases, such scenarios can be a hit or miss and if the images shared by Sanchez are anything to go by, we can assume that her efforts were a hit. 

It took no effort at all to recognise some of the more popular attendees like Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria and Katy Perry, but keep reading to find out who the other lesser-known yet equally significant faces that you may have missed on, belonged to.  

The bride-to-be celebrated her bachelorette weekend by taking a boat trip in Paris, posing in front of the Eiffel tower and sharing laughter over lavish meals, as evidenced by her Instagram post and paparazzi shots. Her group of 11 pals included the matriarch of the Kardashian clan, Kris Jenner, with her eldest daughter, Kim Kardashian. The ultimate mom-ager was seen getting clicked with her 44-year-old daughter and the eldest of the Kardashian sisters.

Sanchez's invite list wasn't limited to just Hollywood celebrities as Elsa Marie Collins, co-founder of This is ABout Humanity, a non-profit working for families separated at the US borders, was among the attendees. Along with her, Natasha Poonawalla, the Indian businesswoman and philanthropist best known for her jaw-dropping Met Gala appearances, was also present. This year, Poonawalla was decked in a Manish Malhotra creation, earning her a spot in many best-dressed celebrity lists from the event.

Other media personalities present included Desperate Housewives' famed star Eva Longoria and American singer and pop star Katy Perry. The Dark Horse singer and Sanchez recently made a trip to space together as well. October Gonzalez, wife of Tony Gonzalez and TV personality, also was present in celebration of Lauren's special day. 

Another savvy mind in attendance was Veronica Grazer, an Edtech startup founder. Her bachelorette party and her could-be bridesmaid clan would be incomplete without at least one name from her journalism days. Enter Charissa Thompson, a sports journalist and TV host for Fox Sports. The last person you'd expect to see in a band of celebrity personalities and entrepreneurial minds is an attorney, but nothing is off-limits if the bride-to-be decides so. This explains our most surprising attendee, Lydia Kives from Los Angeles, an attorney and a former CAA agent. 

We can expect to see these a combination of these 11 pals of Lauren's walk her down the aisle to meet her groom-to-be Jeff Bezos, in what may be this year's most anticipated wedding.
