Lauren Sanchez and Anna Wintour have put an end to any negative feedback about the Vogue cover, as the two were seen sharing friendly photos at the star-studded Kering event in New York City on Thursday.
The 55-year-old former journalist, who wed Jeff Bezos in a grand ceremony in Venice in June, took to her main Instagram account on Friday to post cherished memories from the night.
In a few images, fans were quick to notice that Sanchez crossed paths with Wintour during the festivities and both paused to take pictures together.
This follows the criticism Sanchez faced when she graced the digital cover of Vogue around the time of her wedding. Additionally, there have been circulating rumors that the Amazon CEO might consider purchasing Conde Nast, Vogue’s parent company.
Wintour notably stepped down as Vogue Editor-in-Chief in late June – just one day before Sanchez and Bezos said ‘I do.’
In one photo, Sanchez could be seen standing next to Wintour as they mingled with other celebrity guests such as director Baz Luhrmann.

Another was taken as the wife of Bezos made her way up a staircase with the former Vogue editor by her side.
Sanchez was a busty bombshell wearing a gold satin dress with a lowcut neckline which also contained black material on the back for a fashionable flare.
Wintour also dressed for the glamorous occasion in a black dress with light gray floral details on the fabric.
The post also captured Sanchez posing with Georgina Rodriguez – who is engaged to Cristiano Ronaldo – as well as Luhrmann.
In the caption, the star penned: ‘Fun pics of a beautiful evening that raised millions to support women and protect survivors. @keringfoundation.’
Social media users jumped to the comment section to offer their thoughts over Sanchez and Wintour’s friendly encounter.
‘The queens,’ one fan typed out, while another wrote, ‘Beautiful ladies,’ followed by an array of emojis such as red hearts and clapping hands.
One Instagram user also shared, ‘You and Anna!!! What a duo love u Lauren you look stunning.’

In late June, Sanchez appeared on the Vogue digital cover while wearing her custom Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress that she wore for her romantic Venice nuptials to Bezos.
The three-day extravaganza drew in a number of A-list guests including Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Orlando Bloom.
Wintour had also scored an invite to the wedding, but notably did not attend due to previous travel plans, Page Six reported.
However, according to the outlet, Wintour still had a major role when it came to helping Sanchez choose her wedding gown.
Earlier last year, the former Vogue editor’s opinion on Sanchez’s sense of fashion was revealed.
It was reported that ahead of Sanchez making an appearance at the Met Gala, Wintour needed to have a say in the outfit choice.
A source informed Wintour’s biographer Amy Odell that the media executive felt that Sanchez had ‘poor taste’ and would assist in choosing a dress.
Odell had notably written, ‘Anna doesn’t always get personally involved in what guests wear.’

And in July, speculation began to swirl that Bezos could possibly buy Vogue’s parent company Conde Nast as a wedding gift to Sanchez.
A source told The Mail on Sunday at the time: ‘The rumor that Jeff is going to buy Conde Nast is all anyone’s talking about in the fashion industry and inside Vogue.’
They added, ‘Lauren Sanchez is such an unlikely cover star, and the word is that she landed the July issue partly because the Newhouse family want to butter up Bezos.
‘In New York they’re slimming down the business which is exactly what companies do before a sale.
‘Anna is said to be the one brokering the deal so that’s why Lauren was put on the cover. Anna has equity in the business so has a lot to gain from a sale,’ the insider further added.
A separate source explained that Bezos is ‘one of the very few people with deep enough pockets. And Lauren is no airhead. She’s a sharp cookie. There have been conversations.’
Over 10 years earlier, the Amazon CEO purchased the Washington Post in cash for $250 million in 2013.
After Wintour stepped down as Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Chloe Malle took her place at U.S. Vogue.
On Thursday, Sanchez stunned with Bezos as the couple attended the Kering Foundation 4th Annual Caring For Women Dinner during New York Fashion Week.

She donned a strapless, gold satin dress with a lowcut neckline and a train that was made of black material for a fashionable flare.
The star accessorized her look for the evening with a sparkling diamond necklace as well as flashy earrings.
Bezos also dressed for the occasion in a classic black tuxedo which was paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie.
Other celebrities in attendance for the event included Dakota Johnson, Salma Hayek, Demi Moore, Kirsten Dunst and Julianne Moore.
