Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Share Sicily Wedding Photos as Chanel Confirms Haute Couture Gown

The couple’s official Instagram release highlights a Matthieu Blazy–designed Chanel dress and refocuses coverage on craftsmanship, guest list claims, costs and local disruption.

Overview

  • Dua Lipa posted a carousel of official wedding photos captioned “Mr & Mrs” on June 20, giving the first public view of the couple’s Sicilian celebration and reception images.
  • The images follow the pair’s private civil marriage at Old Marylebone Town Hall on May 31 and a multi‑day ceremony held in Palermo at Villa Valguarnera, which the couple staged as a larger celebration for friends and family.
  • Chanel said the bride’s custom haute couture gown by Matthieu Blazy was handcrafted at 31 Rue Cambon and detailed the work: 480,000 hand‑sewn beads, about 1,155 hours of Lesage needlework, 25,000 Lemarié feathers and a six‑metre hand‑embroidered veil.
  • Multiple outlets reported a starry guest list and that Elton John performed “Your Song,” and some publications cited event cost estimates of roughly $1.5–1.7 million, but performer fees and final budget figures remain reported rather than independently verified.
  • Coverage also notes local consequences in Palermo, including road closures, resident complaints and possible follow‑up talks between organisers and municipal authorities over disruption and payments to the community.
