Just as the world braced for another high-profile engagement, Dua Lipa and Callum Turner decided to play by their own rules. On the evening of May 31, 2026—rather than June 1, as initial insiders had reported—the couple officially became husband and wife. Their wedding took place neither at an exotic estate nor on a private island, but at the historic Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, a classic venue for world-class stars.
At the same site where Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman once exchanged vows, as did Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach, the 30-year-old pop star and the 36-year-old actor chose to seal their union before a tight-knit circle of just eight loved ones.
There was no chaotic paparazzi frenzy. Dua, renowned for her daring fashion choices, opted for an understated yet elegant ceremony look: an asymmetrical cream two-piece suit by Schiaparelli, paired with a wide-brimmed Stephen Jones hat and Christian Louboutin heels. The ensemble was sophisticated and refined, devoid of any unnecessary pomp. Her groom and now-husband, Callum Turner, matched her style perfectly, appearing outside the town hall in a polished navy double-breasted suit.
Celebrity watchers know that in the world of show business, a city hall ceremony is often just a legal formality. Dua and Callum are following that trend. Later this week, the couple will kick off a three-day wedding marathon in Sicily. According to Italian media, the primary festivities will be held at the baroque Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria—the very same location featured in scenes of the series "The White Lotus."
Guests are reportedly expecting two different dress codes and an incredibly star-studded lineup. The guest list is said to include Elton John, Charli XCX, and Mark Ronson, alongside Donatella Versace and designer Simon Porte Jacquemus. With approximately 300 people expected to attend, Italian paparazzi have already dubbed the event the "Wedding of the Year."
How It All Began
Their romance sparked from an unexpected meeting. Back in January 2024, they were first spotted together at the premiere of the series "Masters of the Air," in which Turner starred. "I just thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world," the actor later admitted in an interview with The Times.
The relationship moved quickly: by December 2024, Dua began appearing in public with a massive ring on her finger, and the singer officially announced their engagement in a British Vogue interview in June 2025.
The ring itself is a story of its own. Callum designed it himself, seeking input from Dua’s sister, Rina, and her closest friends. The result was a yellow gold ring featuring a diamond of approximately two carats, with a market value estimated between $65,000 and $270,000. "I'm obsessed with it; it’s so lovely to know that the person you're going to spend your life with understands you so well," Dua shared.
A Tale of Two Fortunes
The wedding has once again highlighted the differing professional backgrounds of the famous spouses. Dua Lipa’s net worth is currently estimated at around $120 million (according to Mashable). Her income stems not only from hits like "Levitating" and "Houdini" but also from her massive Radical Optimism Tour.
While Callum Turner may not yet command such high fees, his career is clearly on the ascent. His portfolio includes a role in the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise, the lead in A24’s action flick "Eternity," and the upcoming sci-fi drama "Nevada Rose," which is set for release on June 19, 2026.
Of course, the year's biggest cinematic rumors cannot be ignored. In February, British tabloids were buzzing with reports that Callum Turner is the frontrunner for the next James Bond. Rather than offering a diplomatic non-answer at the Berlin Film Festival, the actor simply winked at reporters and said, "You’re right..." While franchise producers remain silent, if the news holds true, Dua is all but guaranteed a shot at a future 007 theme song.
For now, fans can only wait for photos from the lavish Sicilian ceremony. Dua and Callum have already proven one thing: even A-list stars can keep a secret when it comes to true love.
