Celebrities and billionaires have arrived in Venice ahead of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’ extravagant—and controversial—wedding to journalist Lauren Sánchez, including several members of the Kardashian family and billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey.

Some of the Kardashian family arrived in Venice Thursday, including billionaire entrepreneur Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and their mother, Kris Jenner, whose partner Corey Gamble arrived in Venice the day prior.

Billionaire Oprah Winfrey and journalist Gayle King, who joined Sánchez on Blue Origin’s star-studded and controversial flight to the edge of space in April, were photographed arriving in Venice on Thursday.

NFL star Tom Brady was photographed boarding a water taxi outside Venice’s Marco Polo Airport on Thursday.

Actor Orlando Bloom was photographed arriving in Venice on Thursday—but he appeared to arrive without Katy Perry, days after multiple tabloids reported the couple split after nine years together (TMZ reported Perry, who also joined Sánchez on Blue Origin’s space flight and attended her bachelorette party, was invited to the wedding).

Bezos and Sánchez were photographed stepping off a boat in Venice on Wednesday afternoon ahead of their multi-day wedding celebration, and they later arrived at the city’s Aman Hotel, People reported.

Barry Diller, a billionaire who is the chairman and founder of the internet and media conglomerate IAC, was photographed arriving at Marco Polo Airport on Wednesday, one day after his wife, fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg, flew in.

Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, were pictured arriving at Marco Polo Airport and boarding a water taxi Tuesday.

Other attendees who have touched down in Venice include investor Michael Kives, known for his celebrity connections and for mentoring Sam Bankman-Fried; Dolce & Gabbana founder and billionaire Domenico Dolce; fashion designer and rum executive Spencer Antle; and Queen Rania of Jordan, wife of the country’s King Abdullah II.

Bezos invited President Donald Trump to the wedding, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing White House sources, though Trump will not attend because of scheduling conflicts.

Many of the details about the wedding, including the guest list, have largely been kept under wraps. TMZ reported celebrities who received invites include Katy Perry and Gayle King, who accompanied Sànchez on Blue Origin’s flight to the edge of space, as well as Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jewel, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner. Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL tight end and Sànchez’s ex-boyfriend, with whom she has a son, will attend the wedding, TMZ reported. City officials said the guest list for Bezos’ wedding is limited to 200 people.

Bezos and Sánchez will reportedly get married this week, though the exact dates of the multi-day celebration are unclear. The couple has booked various venues to stay flexible in the event of inclement weather or protests, which have grown in the city ahead of the wedding, CNN reported. Protests by locals, who are frustrated with overtourism and Bezos’ links to President Donald Trump, forced Bezos to move a wedding party from a central Venetian nightlife area to a more isolated part of the city, Reuters reported. TMZ reported the couple is planning three themed parties, one of which is a pajama party.
