Dua Lipa married Callum Turner at Old Marylebone Town Hall in May 2026 wearing a custom Schiaparelli skirt suit, Stephen Jones hat, and Bvlgari Serpenti necklace – and the buttons change the mood.
That hat is not shy.
On the steps of Old Marylebone Town Hall in London this May 2026, Dua Lipa stepped out for her civil wedding to Callum Turner in a look that feels precise down to the last button. The bride chose a custom Schiaparelli skirt suit rather than a traditional gown, and the decision alone sets the tone for this very intimate ceremony. It is bridal, yes. But it is also tailored, controlled, and distinctly modern.
Start with the jacket. The ivory blazer is sharply cut with a nipped waist that carves out an hourglass shape without looking tight. Notice how the lapels plunge low, creating a deep V that keeps the structure from feeling severe. The gold buttons – ornate, almost jewel-like – punctuate the front and pull the eye vertically, elongating her frame as she walks down the stone steps. There is a quiet tension between the clean cut and the decorative hardware, and that friction keeps it interesting.
The matching asymmetric midi skirt falls in a gentle A-line, skimming the hips before widening slightly toward the hem. In motion, it reveals a subtle high-low line that shows just enough of her legs and those white Christian Louboutin Miss Z pumps, their red soles flashing against the grey stone. The fabric has a smooth, matte finish that holds its shape rather than clinging, which gives the entire look a composed, almost architectural presence.
Then there is the hat. An oversized Stephen Jones wide-brim in white, lined with gold leaf, it frames her face dramatically and casts a soft shadow across her eyes. It is theatrical in scale, especially for a civil ceremony, but paired with the clean tailoring it feels deliberate rather than costume-like. The brim curves downward in a way that softens the strong lines of the blazer. That balance matters.
Her jewelry choices lean classic but with weight. The Bvlgari Serpenti High Jewelry necklace sits neatly at the base of her neck, adding sparkle without competing with the neckline, and the Bvlgari stud earrings echo that restrained shine. White gloves complete the picture, reinforcing the vintage undertone while keeping the palette strictly tonal.
As she descended the steps holding a bouquet of white and pale yellow flowers, confetti catching on her jacket sleeve, the look read cohesive from every angle. The proportions are tightly managed – strong shoulders, defined waist, controlled flare at the skirt – and nothing feels accidental. Even the gold accents tie back to the buttons and the hat lining.
There is also context here. This was a low-key legal ceremony ahead of a larger celebration planned in Palermo, and the tailored approach fits that narrative. A civil wedding in central London calls for something structured, almost official, and a couture skirt suit answers that brief better than a sweeping train would. It nods to tradition without leaning on it.
If you have followed Dua Lipa in tailored bridal style before, you know she is comfortable playing with proportion and statement pieces, and this look leans into that instinct rather than abandoning it for something expected. It is bridal on her terms.
For anyone tracking modern celebrity red carpet dressing, this choice quietly pushes the idea that a wedding look can be sharply tailored and still feel romantic.
I would not change a single proportion here. 9/10. The hat seals it.
Would you choose a structured skirt suit over a traditional gown for a city wedding?
The wide brim against the clean lines of that jacket is what makes this moment linger.
