monica barbaro follows Dua Lipa’s wedding weekend in Sicily, where the British musician wore a custom Bottega Veneta leather Intrecciato dress with feathers to the Palermo welcome party on Thursday night. The look came after an intimate legal ceremony at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall, where she wore custom Schiaparelli Couture and said, “I do.”
Palermo Welcome Party
Thursday night put Bottega Veneta at the center of the weekend. Dua paired the feathered leather dress with the house’s matching feather-trimmed Andiamo clutch, then layered on Bvlgari pieces: a Serpenti necklace, a Serpenti watch, and a Tubogas Manchette bracelet. As a Bvlgari global brand ambassador, she turned the first public celebration into a clean luxury-placement exercise, with Lorenzo Posocco styling the entire sequence.
Callum Turner matched the tone in a tan suit, black dress shoes, and coordinating sunglasses. Charli XCX and George Daniel arrived in black; Grace Gummer and Mark Ronson were also there, along with Joe Alwyn and Troye Sivan. The guest list gave the weekend more industry weight than a private family celebration, even if the clothes stayed in first position.
Old Marylebone Town Hall
Old Marylebone Town Hall set the legal frame for everything that followed. Before Sicily, Dua chose a custom Schiaparelli Couture skirt suit for the London ceremony, making the contrast between the courthouse look and the party wardrobe part of the story rather than an afterthought. The quote “I do” is the only direct line from the ceremony, and it lands with the formality the setting demanded.
That sequence also explains the weekend’s pacing: London first, Sicily second, then a run of highly visible wardrobe changes built for different rooms and different cameras. The fashion houses involved did not get one moment; they got several, each with its own silhouette and accessory logic.
Sunday Chloé Brunch
Sunday brought the softest look of the weekend. Dua wore a white lace Chloé dress layered over a white ruffled bikini from the same house, with dramatic cascading ruffled sleeves, Chloé’s swan-shaped bag, and two long pendant necklaces. The brunch followed a party the evening prior, which kept the celebration moving while the wardrobe shifted from party dressing to something closer to daytime ceremony.
For readers tracking the business side of celebrity fashion, the key detail is repetition: one wedding weekend generated a Schiaparelli suit, a Bottega Veneta welcome-party dress, Bvlgari jewelry, and a Chloé brunch look. That is not just costume change theater; it is a tidy map of the luxury labels that helped define the weekend around Dua Lipa and Callum Turner.
