Dua Lipa’s Chanel wedding dress has 480,000 pearls, 25,000 feathers: Here’s the story behind it

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have shared the first glimpse of their three-day wedding celebrations in Sicily.

The pop superstar has shared intimate photos of their wedding on Instagram.

The 30-year-old singer married the British actor in a lavish ceremony at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century Sicilian palace known as “little Versailles”. The main event was held in London on May 31.

For the big event, Lipa wore a high couture dress made by the House of Chanel, with designer Matthieu Blazy responsible for creating Lipa’s first wedding dress. The magnificent outfit had a crystal and feather design, a low back with embroidery and a long train of two meters.

It needed 480,000 hand-stitched beads made by Atelier Montex along with 25,000 feathers made by LemariƩ. She wore a six meter veil with pearl and feather embroidery.

Made by hand in the ateliers at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, this dress was truly one of a kind. These trompe l’oeil jewels took 1,155 hours to create by hand by Lesage.

Lipa has chosen a wedding dress designed by Blazy at Chanel. This pop star always liked the work of this designer, who created clothes for Bottega Veneta and later for Chanel.

However, Lipa’s connection with Chanel goes back even further as she was the muse for the March 2025 Chanel 25 bag campaign. Nevertheless, her relationship with Blazy is closer than with Chanel.

The singer has always appreciated Blazy’s work, having worn his work to several significant events, including her 28th birthday. She also attended Blazy’s debut couture show for Chanel in Paris earlier this year.
