One wedding is not enough for everyone’s favorite celebrity travelers, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner.
The pop star, 30, and actor, 36, tied the knot at an intimate civil wedding in London on May 31 before having a second, more lavish and picturesque wedding on a Sicilian island on June 6.
A carousel of photos the “Levitating” singer shared on Instagram on Saturday, June 20, shows the British couple on their big day, partying in Italy and visibly enamored with each other, with a post caption that reads “Mr & Mrs.” One photo shows the couple sharing a toast to their future with a bottle of Ruinart champagne, one them dancing together and another of Lipa squeezing Turner’s cheeks.
While Lipa opted for a custom Schiaparelli couture skirt suit and a white-brimmed hat at her private London ceremony, she stunned at the grandiose wedding in Sicily in a feather-and-crystal-embellished Chanel haute couture gown, according to Vogue. Matthieu Blazy designed the original look, which featured an intricate low back and feather-dappled train, a feather-dappled headpiece and a long embroidered veil, Vanity Fair reported.
For both ceremonies, Lipa wore jewelry from the label Bvlgari, for which she serves as an ambassador, including a necklace worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at the London wedding and an extravagant watch at the Sicilian pre-party, per Vanity Fair.
As for the groom, the “Rosebush Pruning” star wore a custom double-breasted Ferragamo suit at the London wedding, with a matching navy shirt and tie, and later a custom black Louis Vuitton suit with a bow tie in Sicily.
The couple naturally welcomed a plethora of their famous friends to a June 5 welcome party before the main event, with the guest list including Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Joe Alwyn, Mark Ronson, Donatella Versace and Tame Impala singer Kevin Parker, according to Vogue. The ceremony was set at the historic 18th-century Sicilian palace Villa Valguarnera, and the Daily Mail reported that the event cost more than $1.7 million.
Last June, Lipa told British Vogue that the “Eternity” star proposed with a ring that he had made for her.
The “End of an Era” singer said she “never really understood the weight of” marriage until her engagement. “This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don’t know, be best friends forever – it’s a really special feeling,” she said.
How did Dua Lipa and Callum Turner meet?
Lipa and Turner met at pre-party drinks for a mutual friend’s birthday in Los Angeles, the actor revealed in an October interview with The Sunday Times. He shared that they hit it off after bonding over reading the same novel, Hernán Díaz’s “Trust,” which was published in 2022, later won the Pulitzer Prize and follows the secretive life of a 1920s financier in New York City.
“We sat next to each other and realized we were reading the same book, which is crazy,” he told the outlet. “It’s called ‘Trust’ and I had just finished the first chapter.”
“I told her and she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too,'” Turner continued, before revealing a smooth pickup line: “I said, ‘So we’re on the same page.'”
