Dua Lipa's wedding in Palermo sparks local protests over security measures

Dua Lipa wedding Palermo security restrictions celebrity event Italy Bottega Veneta dress local resident protests

World‑famous singer Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner are holding a multi‑day luxury wedding in Palermo, Sicily. The celebrations, hosted at Villa Igiea and historic city squares, feature high‑profile guests such as Elton John, Charli XCX and Mark Ronson, and include elaborate fashion moments like Lipa’s Bottega Veneta leather dress adorned with white ostrich‑feather pom‑poms.

Local authorities have imposed tight security, closing streets, installing metal barriers and banning drones. Residents have displayed posters reading “Our square is not your room” and voiced concerns that the restrictions disrupt daily life and hurt nearby businesses. City officials, however, argue the event brings international attention and economic benefits to Palermo.

The wedding’s estimated cost reaches up to €1.5 million, and the festivities are scheduled to continue through early June.
