Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s luxe Sicilian wedding draws VIP guests and local protests

Pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner exchanged vows in a private civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London on 31 May. Within days they flew to Palermo, Sicily, to host a three‑day celebration for roughly 300 guests at exclusive venues such as Villa Igiea, Villa Valguarnera and Palazzo Gangi. The weekend features high‑profile attendees—including Elton John, Donatella Versace, Mark Ronson and Charli XCX—luxury accommodations, private‑jet arrivals and a reported budget of €1.7‑4 million. Local residents have protested the event, posting flyers that warn “Palermo is not your living room” and object to overtourism, while authorities have instituted tight security, “iron‑ring” road closures and confidentiality agreements for staff. Lipa’s minimalist bridal look—a custom white Skirt‑Suit by Schiaparelli, white gloves, a wide‑brim hat, and a bouquet of Icelandic poppies—has sparked fashion commentary and inspired bridal trends. The couple was later spotted in London wearing casual streetwear, including white jeans and UGG boots, before returning to Sicily for the festivities.
