Dua Lipa and Callum Turner kicked off the Italian portion of their wedding in spectacular fashion, welcoming around 200 guests to a stunning palace in Palermo, Sicily, for the first of three days of festivities.
The newlyweds, who tied the knot last weekend in London, made their entrance to the historic Valguarnera Gangi Palace to the cheers of their guests, raising their hands in the air and leaning in for a kiss as they arrived.
Turner was pictured cheekily grabbing his new wife as they walked in, with both men beaming throughout.
Lipa turned heads in a white crochet backless dress finished with a feather train, carrying a matching Hermès bag, with her curly brunette hair and a chunky gold bracelet completing the look.
The guest list reads like a who’s who of the music world.
Joe Alwyn, Charli XCX, her husband George Daniel from The 1975 and Mark Ronson were among those spotted mingling in the palace courtyard before the couple’s arrival.
Charli XCX was seen holding an Aperol Spritz and chatting in a black bodycon dress, while other guests arrived in bold pops of pink and green.
Waiters circulated with canapes while olives were placed on each table.
The evening’s celebrations were to begin with drinks at the Palazzo, one of Sicily’s most famous buildings, famous for the waltz scene from the classic Italian film. The Leopard, before guests headed to the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, where Sir Elton John was rumored to be performing.
The three-day celebration would cost around 1.5 million euros in total, including 10,000 euros to close the Galleria for the evening and another 10,000 euros for security throughout the city.
Tomorrow the party is expected to move eight miles east of Palermo to Bagheria, where celebrations will continue at the former mafia stronghold, Villa Valguarnera.
