The blue and silver dress was embellished with sequins and beadwork, and its mermaid-style train extended along the floor. She paired the outfit with a small clutch and styled her hair in soft waves over her shoulders.
During the event, Sanchez was seen kissing Bezos on the cheek while he looked straight ahead. The moment, captured on camera, stirred mixed reactions across social media platforms, with some questioning the couple's body language.
On Instagram, one person wrote, "He looks very unhappy." Another commented, "He looks regretful," while a third added, "So embarrassing he didn’t kiss her back just gave her the cheek [sic]."

People on Facebook also weighed in with their observations. One commenter shared, "How things have changed. She's holding on to him, whereas he use to hold her hand and she kissed him and he did not kiss back. Doomed he's tired of her. Just my opinion but who really knows [sic]."
Another quipped, "He cannot even look at her!" and a third stated, "He doesn't look happy for such a fun scene."
