Pop icon Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner are currently hosting a lavish three-day wedding extravaganza in Sicily, Italy, spanning from June 5 to June 7, 2026. The star-studded guest list includes Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Tove Lo, and fashion icon Donatella Versace.
Renowned musician Sir Elton John, known for his collaboration with Dua Lipa on the hit song Cold Heart in 2021, is expected to grace the event with a special live performance. The extravagant celebration in Italy follows a private legal ceremony that took place on May 31, 2026, at the historic Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, attended by only eight close guests.
The main wedding ceremony is taking place at Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, an 18th-century palace known for its Sicilian Baroque architecture and stunning views. The venue has a colorful history, once seized by mafia bosses who infamously allowed a wild boar to roam the ballroom and airlifted a statue out of the gardens by helicopter.
Italian Princess Vittoria Alliata di Villafranca courageously reclaimed the estate from the mob, with local authorities highlighting how Dua’s wedding is helping to transform the area’s reputation from a mafia hotspot to a cultural landmark. Villa Valguarnera has a long-standing tradition of hosting intellectuals like Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Stendhal.
The couple has also booked two floors at the prestigious Villa Igiea hotel for their guests, offering a luxurious experience with gala dinners and private boat rides. The wedding celebrations will extend to historic landmarks in Palermo, including Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi, famous for its appearance in the film The Leopard.
Dua Lipa and Callum Turner fell in love with Palermo during a previous visit, choosing it as the perfect location for their wedding festivities. Keeping their events private, the couple enforced a strict policy of no additional guests without a ring, ensuring utmost privacy for attendees.
For the London registry office ceremony, Dua Lipa opted for a unique ivory Schiaparelli skirt suit designed by Daniel Roseberry, complemented by a Stephen Jones hat and a Bulgari Serpenti diamond necklace. Fashion insiders hint at Simon Porte Jacquemus creating one of her bridal looks, with a bespoke Atelier Versace design expected to make an appearance during the weekend celebrations.
