Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio has been at the center of a social media controversy after attending the lavish wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez in Venice last Friday. The 50-year-old actor, known for both his film career and environmental activism, drew attention not only for his presence, but also for his peculiar choice of attire.
The decision to attend such a high-profile event provoked a wave of criticism from fans, who were quick to label DiCaprio a “hypocrite”. The main reason for the accusations is that his attendance, presumably via private jet, seems to firmly contradict the pro-climate values the actor has publicly advocated for years.
DiCaprio has spoken out on numerous occasions about the real crisis of climate change and has made considerable donations to charities dedicated to protecting the planet. However, many felt that his presence at Bezos’ celebration showed that his commitment to the environmental cause might be motivated by the benefits of public relations.

In addition to the criticism for attending the wedding, DiCaprio also drew attention for his striking outfit: a black tuxedo paired with an all-black Dodgers cap, something that did not go unnoticed, especially by MLB fans and the club in question.
Although DiCaprio has not officially acknowledged which MLB team he supports, he has been seen several times wearing caps of various teams, so if there is one thing that is clear, it is that he likes baseball very much.
A wedding full of celebrities
Bezos and Sanchez’s wedding stole the spotlight over the weekend, not only because of the controversial couple, but also because of the luxury guests who were able to attend.
In addition to DiCaprio, the wedding was a parade of high-profile celebrities, with attendees including Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, Usher, Mick Jagger, Oprah Winfrey and NFL legend Tom Brady. The presence of so many public figures has intensified the debate about celebrities’ environmental responsibility and their actions.
