As she prepares to marry the world’s second-richest man, Lauren Sanchez can afford almost anything she wants.

And it appears the former TV presenter’s favourite way to flaunt her wealth – and that of her fiance, Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos – is with ridiculously expensive accessories.

Her hen do was no exception. Ms Sanchez, 55, opted for a £4,500 crystal-encrusted Eiffel Tower bag – in-keeping with the backdrop of her get-together in Paris.

Surrounded by friends including Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria, she paired the Judith Leiber bag with a plunging white top (£211) and lace-up skirt (£520) by French brand Murmur.

In March Ms Sanchez showed off a £4,350 Balenciaga clutch in the shape of a coffee cup, which was mocked online as ‘beyond stupid’.

Last night social media lit up again over her latest bag – described on the designer’s website as ‘a chic tribute to an iconic landmark’ – with one critic saying: ‘Is there no end to this woman’s ability to squander money on pointless possessions?’

The four-day bachelorette party comes ahead of her £5million wedding to Mr Bezos, 61, in June, which will take place at an open-air theatre in Venice.

Lady Gaga and Sir Elton John are reportedly set to perform.

The hen do weekend, said to be costing £500,000, kicked off on Thursday with dinner at the historic Lafayette’s restaurant, with starters including fried chicken.

And on Friday her party went on a cruise along the Seine, drinking champagne and dancing on the deck of an open-top party boat. 

Ms Sanchez posted photos of the celebrations on Instagram, writing: ‘Forever starts with friendship, surrounded by women who’ve lifted me up, illuminated my path in dark times and shaped my heart.’
