One wedding isn’t enough for everyone’s favorite celebrity travelers, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner.
The 30-year-old pop star and the 36-year-old actor tied the knot in an intimate civil ceremony in London on May 31st, followed by a more extravagant and picturesque second wedding on the Sicilian island on June 6th.
A merry-go-round photo shared by the “Floating” singer on Instagram on Saturday, June 20, shows the British couple partying in Italy on their big day, clearly smitten with each other, with the post captioned “Mr. & Mrs.”
According to Vogue, Ripa opted for a custom Schiaparelli haute couture skirt suit and white-brimmed hat for her private wedding in London, but stunned in a feather-and-crystal-embellished Chanel haute couture dress for her big wedding in Sicily. Matthew Blasey designed the original look, which featured an intricate low back, feather-speckled train, feather-speckled headpiece and long embroidered veil, Vanity Fair reported.
Vanity Fair reported that Lipa wore jewelry from Bvlgari, the brand she is an ambassador for, at both weddings, including a necklace worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at her London wedding and a luxury watch at her pre-party in Sicily.
As for the groom, the “Rosebush Pruning” star wore a custom double-breasted Ferragamo suit with a navy shirt and tie for his London wedding, followed by a custom black Louis Vuitton suit with a bow tie in Sicily.
According to Vogue magazine, the couple naturally welcomed a number of famous friends to their welcome party on June 5th before the main event, with guests including Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Joe Alwyn, Mark Ronson, Donatella Versace and Tame Impala singer Kevin Parker. The ceremony took place at Villa Valgualnera, a historic Sicilian palace built in the 18th century, and the Daily Mail reported that the event cost more than $1.7 million.
Last June, Ripa told British Vogue that the “Eternity” star proposed with a ring he had made for her.
The “End of an Era” singer said she “never understood” the weight of marriage until she got engaged. “This decision to grow old together, look at life together, and just be best friends forever is a really special feeling,” she said.
How did Dua Lipa and Callum Turner meet?
Ripa and Turner met for drinks at a mutual friend’s birthday pre-party in Los Angeles, she revealed in an interview with The Sunday Times in October. He revealed that they hit it off after reading Hernan Díaz’s “Trust,” the same novel about the secret lives of New York City financiers in the 1920s, which was published in 2022 and later won the Pulitzer Prize.
“We sat next to each other and realized we were reading the same book. It’s crazy,” he told the outlet. “It’s called ‘trust,’ and we’ve just finished the first chapter.”
“When I told her that, she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter, too,'” Turner continued. “I said, ‘So, we’re on the same page.'”
