A US TV personality has slammed Lauren Sanchez’s wedding style, bashing her gown and her hair in a scathing social media post.

She was not impressed by the dress.

US TV personality Katie Couric has slammed fellow journalist Lauren Sanchez’s wedding style, bashing her gown and her hair in a scathing social media post.

“Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,” she penned.

Couric left this scathing comment about Sanchez’s dress on Instagram, calling it ‘tacky’.

The former US Today show host left the rude remark on Jack Schlossberg’s Instagram post on Friday, the day Sanchez married Jeff Bezos in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy.

Mr Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy, reposted Sanchez’s Vogue cover — where the former journalist donned her long-sleeved, corsetted Dolce & Gabbana lace gown that took some 900 hours to make — with the caption, “Like I said … vogue.”

Couric wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, and an hour later, left the “tacky” comment, to which Schlossberg replied, “Let’s bring back scrunchies,” a reference to the ‘80s hair accessory famously roasted on Sex and the City.

Others joined in on the attack, adding comments such as “Spot on. Money can’t buy you class” and “Imagine being married to the one of richest men on the planet and still choosing a dress that’s ugly as f**k.”

Some did defend the new bride’s looks, however, and called for an end to the mean girl comments.

“I think she looks gorgeous, the dress is stunning and a surprise. Everyone leave her alone. Let her be happy,” one said.

“If the dress made her feel good on her day that’s a beautiful thing,” another added.

Others turned on Couric and her unnecessarily rude comment.

“I’m reading that many women say Lauren Sánchez Bezos lacks ‘class.’ Those same critics also lack “class,” because an educated, intelligent, respectful, or rather, classy person doesn’t go around criticising or making fun of other people,” one scolded.

Another pointed out that Couric may be lashing out because she feels slighted since she didn’t make the wedding’s star-studded guest list.

“I’m guessing you aren’t invited, Katie lol,” they quipped.
