After keeping us on the edge of our seats for two weeks, Dua Lipa finally blessed our feeds with a glimpse into her dreamy wedding celebration with Calum Turner. The lovebirds, who tied the knot in an intimate London ceremony, whisked away to Sicily for a lavish celebration that had us all eagerly awaiting every last detail.
In a jaw-dropping Instagram reveal that had us all double-tapping in awe, Dua Lipa unveiled her main ceremony look: a Chanel haute couture creation that was a sartorial fairy tale come to life. The gown, an enchanting medley of feathers and crystals, plunged into an intricately crafted low back that left us breathless. Dua paired this dreamlike dress with a feather-adorned headpiece and a long, elaborately embroidered veil that struck the perfect chord between whimsical romance, head-turning drama, and that unmistakable Dua Lipa style we’ve come to adore.
Calum Turner made a striking entrance in a custom Louis Vuitton suit that impeccably complemented Dua’s ethereal allure. The groom looked utterly dashing, his outfit a testament to the couple’s shared love for fashion and their innate ability to captivate wherever they go.

Just when we thought we couldn’t be more obsessed with Dua’s wedding look, Chanel spilled the tea on the craftsmanship that went into creating her dress. They enlisted the help of three renowned Maisons d’art – Atelier Montex, Lemarié, and Lesage – to bring Dua’s vision to life with intricate embellishments that left us picking our jaws up off the floor. And let’s not forget the custom white satin pumps by Massaro that tied the whole look together. The dress, which featured a stunning two-meter train, was hand-embroidered with a staggering 480,000 beads by the magicians at Atelier Montex. Lesage spent 1,155 hours adorning the gown with trompe l’oeil jewels that had us doing a double take.
But the real showstopper? The 25,000 feathers delicately hand-sewn into the dress’s underlayer by Lemarié. Dua’s six-meter tulle veil was a masterpiece in its own right, featuring a whimsical bird-and-floral motif embroidered with beads, feathers, and hand-cut organza appliqués. The Atelier Montex and Lemarié teams poured over 3,000 hours of handwork into creating this exceptional piece that fluttered behind Dua as she exchanged vows with her soulmate.
