“I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding,” she said while addressing the crowd at the Universal Studios backlot in Los Angeles.
“But that’s OK because they suck and we’re cool,” she jokingly said.
The Oscar winner then thanked her guests for “taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it’s burning because it is.”

Online reactions to Charlize’s remark included some eye-rolls, with some claiming she was “jealous.” But others believed she wouldn’t have attended even if she received an invitation.
“Celebrity jealousy. Got to love it!” one said, while another quipped, “That's envy.”
“Theron shouldn't worry. She can go to his next wedding,” one said.
“She’s just jealous,” read one comment online
Another wrote, “I doubt she would have accepted even if she was invited.”
“Has been denial syndrome,” one said. I only hear of it in the delusional Hollywood atmosphere.”
“She has no friends and bitter [sic],” another claimed.
During the nuptials on Friday, June 27, Lauren wore a custom-designed Dolce & Gabbana dress to say “I do” on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, s*xy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,” she told Vogue.
“It is a departure from what people expect, from what I expect,” added the journalist, who is known to wear gowns with plunging necklines during high-profile events, but it’s very much me. It’s so elegant, it’s timeless.”

The bride was escorted down the aisle by her two sons Nikko, 24, and Evan, 19, and she called herself “the luckiest woman on the planet.”
“I’m happy that I’m getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore,” she said ahead of the wedding. “I am the luckiest woman on the planet.”

“Everyone wants to talk to her and every guy that has been in her presence has talked about how stunning she is in real life,” they added.
Sources claimed to TMZ that footballer Tom Brady appeared to be making a move on Sydney—described as the “center of attention” for single men at the party, which also included Orlando Bloom, whose split from Katy Perry was officially announced last week.

The wedding shenanigans officially came to a close with a pajama-themed wedding party on Saturday night.
“It was great. It went until 4 in the morning [and] started at 7:00 p.m. It was a pajama-themed party with everyone wearing silk and robes and slippers. It was epic,” a source told People.
It was “a full-fledged dance party with everyone standing on the banquettes and all of the sofas and couches,” a source said
