Kim and Khloe Kardashian were among the first celebrity guests to leave Venice on Saturday morning after Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding.
A host of Hollywood’s biggest stars flocked to the northern Italian city this week for the wedding of the Amazon billionaire, 61, and his journalist partner, 55.
The couple tied the knot on Friday evening in front of nearly 200 VIPs including Leonardo Di Caprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, on San Maggiore island.
Following the ‘wedding of the century’, guests attended a star-studded party which went onto the early hours of Saturday morning.
But Kim, 44, and Khloe, 41, were snapped making a swift exit from the $20million affair by boat as they bailed early, and once again, the Kardashians didn’t waste any time leaving Venice on Saturday despite festivities being far from over.
The sisters were spotted wearing casual ensembles as they made a low-key exit from the Italian city, presumably to board a private flight back to Los Angeles.

SKIMS owner Kim showed off her incredible figure in figure-hugging black leggings and a fitted grey bandeau top, while she sported a pair of aviator shades.
Meanwhile, Khloe, also covering her eyes with a pair of shades, cut a trendy figure in an all-black ensemble along with a jacket.
Their mother Kris, 69, and sisters Kendall, 29, and Kylie, 27, were nowhere in sight as the duo headed out of Venice, as they appeared to be staying in the city for longer.
The celebrations are far from over, with the festivities slated to continue at the Arsenale di Venezia on Saturday night.
The Kardashians’ departure came after they made an early exit from the wedding afterparty on Friday night, with their supermodel sister Kendall, 29, following shortly after.
They were spotted departing the star-studded rave by boat, captured in stylish photos set against the breath-taking backdrop of Italian architecture.
Fans had been eagerly waiting to see what the Kardashian sisters would wear to the festivities, and they certainly pulled out all the stops on the night.
Kylie displayed her enviable curves in a figure-hugging silver corset dress and a pair of stylish sunglasses.

However, she came under fire from some fans who pointed out that her dress looked very close to white in certain lighting.
Kylie risked Lauren’s wrath with the bold choice since traditionally, white is the color reserved for the bride – and guests are usually urged to steer clear of any colour that may even appear close in order to avoid confusion or steal the spotlight.
She was pictured boarding a boat taxi with her sister Kendall, who looked elegant in a black ensemble, on their way to the wedding.
Meanwhile, Kim’s outfit was however blasted as ‘basic and boring’ by fans, as the reality star slipped into a shiny black gown with laser-cut trimmings on its sides.
The wedding, held two years after Jeff proposed to Lauren aboard his $500million superyacht, was described as ‘extremely intimate’ with a strict no-phone policy – with around 70 of the 200 guests being family members.
The only images that emerged of the nuptials came via Lauren’s official Instagram account – and photos of guests leaving the night-time celebrations were scarce.

Jeff and Lauren are thought to have splashed out a staggering $20million on their multiple-day extravagant wedding bash.
As guests arrived at the reception on Friday, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir.
That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston’s Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment.
Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You.
The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend.
Earlier in the day, award-winning journalist Sanchez made a chic first appearance, stepping out of the five-star Aman Hotel in a sophisticated white Dior puff-sleeve suit, perfectly accessorized with a headscarf and oversized sunglasses.
In the photographs, she flashed a dazzling new giant diamond ring that caught plenty of attention.
It was revealed ahead of the nuptials that Jeff and Lauren had already legally tied the knot before today’s official ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.

The star-studded celebrations kicked off Thursday evening with a lavish welcome dinner at the Campo Della Madonna dell’Orto.
However, the billionaire couple and their A-list entourage had to seek shelter when a sudden thunderstorm rolled in during the pre-wedding party.
Lauren wowed in a shimmering $100,000 gown by Daniel Roseberry, featuring intricate embroidery of swirling vines and florals in rich blue, green, and gold tones over a champagne-colored base.
To mark the grand occasion, the couple reportedly rented out multiple locations around the city.
An insider told DailyMail.com last week that San Giorgio Maggiore island is essentially ‘off-limits to visitors’ from June 24 through June 29.
Originally, a massive party was scheduled for Saturday night at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but local media report it has since been relocated to another venue in the Arsenale district.
