Bezos, 61, and Sanchez were seated on stage next to fellow tech titans, founder , CEO , and CEO Sundar Pichai.
Trolls took to X to publicly shame Sanchez for her obscene outfit choice.
"Good grief, Lauren Sanchez. Put them away for one day," one wrote.
A second said, "Is someone going to offer Lauren Sanchez a safety pin?"
"Jeff Bezos's future wife, Lauren Sanchez, is incredibly inappropriately dressed for a state occasion. Someone should have told her that having her white lace bra out on display is not acceptable," another shamed.
A fourth commented, "Melania looks stunning, and Ivanka, that suit is giving!!!! You need to throw Lauren Sanchez a napkin and some safety pins because she didn't get the sophistication memo."

"Honestly, Lauren Sanchez looks so out of place. I’m almost embarrassed for her. Money buys a lot of things, but it sure doesn’t buy class or common sense," another slammed.
Critics questioned why Bezos was allowed to bring his fiancée to the inauguration after the ceremony was moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda because of an Arctic blast gripping the East Coast.

"WT* is Bezos’ girlfriend Lauren Sanchez doing there when TRUE PATRIOTS couldn’t get a seat? And no one’s wives were allowed to attend?" one person fumed.
Another said, "Why is Lauren Sanchez at the inauguration? It was supposed to be scaled back because of limited space and no spouses allowed, even for Trump's administration, yet Bezo's girlfriend is there?"
"Why does Lauren Sanchez get a seat in the rotunda, but members of Congress can't bring spouses? Genuinely curious. I don't see the partners of Musk, Cook, Pichai, etc. Why is Bezos' girlfriend there?" a third commented.
As she donned it for an outing in early December, Sanchez appeared to have recycled the outfit.
