Tacky, tasteless and a vanity that’s out of this world! MAUREEN CALLAHAN skewers Vogue’s new pin-ups Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos as a pair of intergalactic egos who just CAN’T read the room
Lauren Sánchez is ready for her close-up. Not since David Geffen posted from his private yacht at the height of quarantine have we seen such an aggressively tacky, tone-deaf display of wealth, this time in the pages of Vogue.
