A Chanel Masterpiece: 1,155 Hours of Craftsmanship

For the main wedding ceremony on Saturday, Dua Lipa wore a bespoke bridal gown designed by Chanel’s creative director, Matthieu Blazy. This marks the first Chanel wedding dress ever designed by Blazy for a friend of the house. The masterpiece was meticulously handcrafted at Chanel’s flagship headquarters at 31, Rue Cambon in Paris.

Details of the Gown:

• Embroidery and Beads: Artisans at ‘Lesage’ dedicated 1,155 hours of intricate needlework to the gown, hand-applying 480,000 beads and jewels.
• Feather Embellishments: To add a touch of whimsy and elegance, ‘Lemarié’ adorned the dress with 25,000 delicate feathers.
• Train and Veil: The gown featured a dramatic two-meter-long train. It was paired with a six-meter-long, hand-embroidered tulle veil decorated with beads, feathers, and hand-cut organza appliqués.
• Footwear: The look was completed with custom white satin pumps by Massaro Paris. The groom, Callum Turner, looked dapper in a custom Louis Vuitton suit.

Three Days of Sicilian Celebrations and Bridal Looks

Dua Lipa’s wedding wardrobe was nothing short of a fashion showcase. At the welcome drinks event in Palermo on Friday night, she wore a custom Bottega Veneta white leather halterneck gown. For the wedding brunch on Sunday, she opted for a sheer, floral lace custom Chloé dress. During their initial London civil ceremony, she wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture skirt suit, paying homage to Bianca Jagger.

A Royal Venue and High-Profile Guests

The wedding reportedly took place at the 18th-century mansion, Villa Valguarnera, famously known as “little Versailles.” Guests were treated to an authentic Sicilian menu, including anelletti alla Norma, panelle, and crocché. The highlight of the evening was Elton John’s performance of his classic hit, “Your Song,” dedicated to the newlyweds. The star-studded guest list included Donatella Versace, Joe Alwyn, Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, and Grace Gummer, among others.

A Love Story That Began with a Book

Dua and Callum first crossed paths in London around 2023 and later reconnected through mutual friends in Los Angeles. During a conversation, they realized they were both reading the same book—Trust by Hernan Diaz—and were even on the same chapter. Callum joked that this realization meant they were “on the same page.” In an interview with British Vogue, Dua described their decision to grow old together and be best friends forever as a “really special feeling.”
