That is one pricey cup o’ Joe!
Lauren Sánchez, who is getting ready to marry billionaire Jeff Bezos, stepped out carrying a $5,750 Balenciaga handbag shaped like a to-go coffee cup.
The purse, cleverly called the 9 AM Clutch, is a replica of the fashion house’s white porcelain coffee cup ($125) designed to resemble those made of paper and plastic.
The leather clutch is made of calfskin and measures 7.3 inches by 4.3 inches.
The Balenciaga Paris logo is debossed on the front of the clutch, which opens and closes via a hinge closure system with a snap button.
Sánchez — who was photographed leaving a meeting in Studio City, Calif., Wednesday — smiled as she flashed her unique accessory.
The former broadcast journalist paired the purse with a dark denim halter dress cinched at the waist with a brown belt.
She completed her look with brown pointed-toe pumps and brown aviator-style sunglasses, and she wore her long, dark locks in a loose half-up, half-down style.
Sánchez is gearing up for a busy next few months.
In May, the children’s book author will take a trip to space aboard one of Bezos’ Blue Origin rockets; in June, she will say “I do” to the Amazon founder in Venice, Italy.
The couple is reportedly sparing no expense to ensure their A-list guests — including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian and maybe even President Trump — are blown away by their nuptials.
Bezos’ $500 million megayacht, Koru, is said to be “involved” in the wedding weekend in some capacity, perhaps functioning as a water taxi or the venue for other festivities.
Meanwhile, two of the city’s best hotels, the Gritti Palace and Aman Venice, are apparently completely booked from June 26 to June 29.
Rooms at both hotels reportedly start at $3,200 a night and can cost up to almost ten times that amount.
The bride-to-be is believed to have chosen an Oscar de la Renta dress with input from Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who will also likely be in attendance.
Bezos, 61, proposed to Sánchez, 55, aboard Koru in May 2023 after five years of dating, presenting her with a diamond ring estimated to be worth a whopping $2.5 million.
The pair appropriately celebrated their engagement on the same ship in Positano, Italy, in August 2023 with a gaggle of famous faces, many of whom are expected to be present for their big day.
The duo began dating in 2019; however, they avoided being seen together publicly until after their respective divorces were finalized.
