Lauren Sánchez is ready for 2025!
The Emmy Award-winning journalist, 55, penned a message commemorating her eventful 2024 while welcoming in the new year.
Sánchez uploaded an Instagram post on Friday, Jan. 3, wearing a sexy silver ensemble. She added three photos posing in a metallic mesh formfitting gown with a deep cowl neckline that showed off her décolletage. The gown’s neckline transitioned into a hood that Sánchez delicately placed on her head to show off her new honey-blonde highlights.
Sánchez paired the metallic mesh dress with diamond earrings and her 30-carat diamond engagement ring from fiancé Jeff Bezos.
“Thank you, 2024— reflecting on the challenges that shaped me, the wins that inspired me, and the amazing people who lifted me up,” Sánchez wrote in her Jan. 3 Instagram caption.
She continued by expressing her hopes for the coming year. “This year, I embrace illumination, striving to help others find their light and shine their brightest in 2025—a year of continued growth, shared light, and endless possibilities. ✨.”
