Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Wed in London, Plan Extravagant Sicily Celebration

5/31/2026, 8:34:21 PM

Core Event: London Civil Ceremony

On Sunday, May 31 2026 (some outlets report May 30), pop star Dua Lipa (30) and actor Callum Turner (36) exchanged vows at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London. The civil ceremony was limited to eight close friends and family members, who threw confetti as the newlyweds exited the steps and entered a black cab. Lipa wore a white dress with gloves, an oversized hat and a custom Schiaparelli haute-couture ensemble; Turner appeared in a navy double-breasted suit with tie.

Background & Context: Relationship Development and Engagement

Lipa and Turner’s romance began publicly in January 2024 after attending the Masters of Air after-party together. They confirmed their partnership on Instagram in July 2024. Turner proposed in December 2024, and Lipa announced their engagement in a June 2025 interview with British Vogue, noting she had “never been someone who’s really thought about a wedding.” She later said the decision to marry felt “like a really special feeling” and expressed hopes of starting a family.

On-the-Ground Reports

Eight attendees gathered on the steps of the registry office, showering the couple with confetti before ushering them into a Hackney cab.
