Dua Lipa and Callum Turner marry in secret London ceremony ahead of lavish three-day Sicilian celebration

A quiet 'I do' in London

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are officially husband and wife after a discreet civil ceremony at the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on Sunday, 31 May. The intimate event was attended by a small group of family and friends, with around eight guests lining the steps to shower the couple with confetti as they exited. The ceremony itself was brief, reportedly lasting between thirty and forty minutes, after which the newlyweds departed in a classic black London taxi.

The bridal look

Lipa arrived in a custom white skirt-suit ensemble from the Schiaparelli couture house, designed by creative director Daniel Roseberry, paired with matching gloves and a wide-brimmed white hat by Stephen Jones. She carried a bouquet of yellow and white flowers and wore white Christian Louboutin heels. British press drew comparisons to Bianca Jagger's iconic 1971 wedding look — a white Yves Saint Laurent suit and large hat. Turner complemented her in a tailored dark blue suit with a matching tie.

I was never someone who really thought about a wedding or dreamed about what kind of bride I would be.

A venue steeped in celebrity history

The Old Marylebone Town Hall in Westminster has long been a favourite among British celebrities. Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman married there, and Liam Gallagher tied the knot at the venue twice. The choice reflects the couple's desire for a meaningful but understated legal ceremony before their larger celebration.

From afterparty flirt to marriage

The couple's story began in January 2024, when they appeared together at the afterparty for the Apple TV+ series "Masters of Air" in London, sparking initial rumours. They made their relationship official in July of that year. Lipa confirmed their engagement to British Vogue in June 2025, saying she wanted to marry after finishing her world tour.

This decision to grow old together, to see a shared life and just, I don't know, to be best friends forever — that is a really special feeling.

Family plans without pressure

In the same Vogue interview, Lipa spoke openly about wanting children but without a fixed timeline. She acknowledged the challenge of balancing motherhood with touring and recording, concluding that it would happen when the moment was right.

I would like to have children at some point. But it's this constant question of when would be a good time — how it would fit with my job, how it would work when I'm on tour. I think it's just something that will happen when it happens.

The Sicilian celebration to come

Although the legal marriage is complete, the main event is still ahead. The couple plans a three-day celebration in Palermo, Sicily, reportedly from Thursday to Saturday, 5–7 June. Sources describe it as one of the most anticipated show-business weddings of the year. The couple have reportedly booked an entire floor of suites at the Villa Igiea hotel, overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the principal ceremony expected at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century residence in Bagheria, about ten kilometres from Palermo. Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that the couple decided to move the wedding forward from its original September date. Among the rumoured guests are Elton John, Mark Ronson, Charli XCX, Donatella Versace, and Simon Porte Jacquemus. Lipa is said to have travelled to Italy earlier to finalise details of the dress she will wear at the Sicilian celebration with Donatella Versace.
