Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Kick Off Their Italian Wedding Festivities in Style
The bride wore Bottega Veneta
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Dua Lipa has been married for less than a week and she's already delivering a masterclass in bridal fashion. After exchanging vows in an intimate courthouse ceremony at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall last Saturday, Lipa and actor Callum Turner touched down in Palermo, Italy, for a full weekend of celebrations — and the opening night did not disappoint.
For the London ceremony, Lipa arrived in a custom white Schiaparelli skirt suit and wide-brim hat that was widely — and correctly — read as a direct nod to Bianca Jagger's iconic 1971 wedding look. It was a statement of intent: this woman is not here to do bridal the ordinary way.
Feathers, Bottega, and a Groom Who Got the Memo
The Italian welcome dinner confirmed it. According to Harper's Bazaar, Lipa stepped out in a custom white Intrecciato dress from Bottega Veneta by creative director Louise Trotter — scoop neck, backless, with feathers cascading along a body-hugging skirt. She carried a feather-trimmed foldover bag to match, then stacked on diamond jewelry and layered necklaces like someone who understands that more is, in fact, more. Turner, for his part, met the moment in a tan suit with a cream dress shirt and black sunglasses — relaxed, warm-weather-appropriate, and genuinely complementary without trying to compete. The guest list was equally sharp: Charli XCX and her husband George Daniel, Troye Sivan, and an assortment of people you'd actually want at your dinner.
What Lipa is doing across this wedding weekend is essentially building a bridal wardrobe in real time — each look considered, referential, and distinctly hers. The Schiaparelli suit nodded to rock-and-roll history. The Bottega gown leans into Italian craftsmanship while staying deeply sensual. Neither look is trying to be a "wedding dress" in the conventional sense, and that's precisely what makes them both work.
If the first two looks are any indication, the rest of this weekend is going to be a lesson in how to dress for your own joy without apology — and the bar is already unreasonably high.
