Dua Lipa has shared the first pictures from her opulent wedding party after marrying actor and James Bond hopeful Callum Turner. The Levitating singer, 30, and the actor, 36, tied the knot earlier this month at Marylebone Town Hall.
Lavish three-day celebration in Sicily
Soon after, they celebrated with a lavish three-day bash at the historic Villa Valguarnera in Sicily, reportedly costing the couple £1.5 million. In the first batch of pictures shared to her Instagram account, Dua looks glamourous and elegant in a sparkling Chanel gown by Matthieu Blazy.
As for the groom, he appears every bit the future James Bond in a classy black tuxedo from Louis Vuitton. Photos from the celebration show the pair celebrating into the early hours – a party which reportedly lasted until 6am the following morning. In the caption to her post, Dua wrote simply: 'Mr & Mrs.'
Romantic moments captured
The attached photos showed Dua and Callum together, looking lovingly into one another's eyes from beneath the bridal veil. In others, they stand side-by-side outside the picturesque Sicilian Villa, her arms draped tenderly around his shoulders. Another snap gives a glimpse of the party, including Dua and Callum swapping dance moves.
Sources close to the couple told Daily Mail that Dua paid tribute to her Albanian heritage with music and dancing from a local Albanian community, while her proud mum and dad looked on, clapping enthusiastically. Other pictures show off Dua and Callum's outfits, with the Rose of Nevada star simmering in his tuxedo while Dua poses against the rustic Villa backdrop.
Celebrity reactions and guests
Comments below Dua's post were full of swooning well-wishers, including Katy Perry, who described the pair as 'sweetie babies.' Posting a shocked face emoji next to a flame, Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison wrote: 'Omg. Congratulations you two.' Only Way is Essex star Ferne McCann added: 'Wowwww congratulations!'
'JAW DROPPED. Congratulations beautiful! Happy hearts forever!' commented actress Dalia Shawky. Among their celebrity guests at the glitzy party were close friend Sir Elton John, who reportedly performed his hit Your Song for the happy couple. Fellow pop star Charli XCX and fashion icon Donatella Versace were also in attendance.
Honeymoon on the Amalfi Coast
Since then, the happy couple have been spotted on honeymoon at the nearby Amalfi Coast, where they've been soaking up the sun… and each other's affection. In a series of recent pictures, they were pictured carrying inflatable boats together, swapping foot rubs in the water, and lounging in the sunshine while Dua applied lotion to her husband's back.
'Italy is their favorite place,' a source told People. 'They have so many happy memories there together. Returning to Sicily to celebrate their wedding and create even more memories felt very special. It made Italy a natural choice for their honeymoon.'
How they met and engagement
The happy couple first met at a friend's birthday party in Los Angeles, and got talking after realising that they were reading the same book. Callum told The Sunday Times: 'It's called Trust [by Hernán Díaz] and I had just finished the first chapter and I told her and she looked at me and said, “I just finished the first chapter too.” 'I said, “So we're on the same page.”'
They first began dating in 2024, and announced their engagement in June the following year. Dua told British Vogue at the time: 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting. '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.' They went on to marry in a civil ceremony in May this year – jetting off for their Sicilian bash soon after.
