The pop superstar made history as the first bride to wear a Matthieu Blazy–designed Chanel Haute Couture wedding gown.

When Dua Lipa and Callum Turner began their wedding festivities, the fashion world watched with bated breath. First came the civil ceremony at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall on May 31, where the bride traded tradition for tailoring in a custom Schiaparelli couture skirt suit by Daniel Roseberry — complete with a nipped-waist blazer, gold bijoux buttons, and a show-stopping Bvlgari Serpenti High Jewelry necklace<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/english/hollywood/news/dua-lipas-custom-couture-wedding-gown-wins-the-internet-as-she-shares-intimate-pictures-from-her-wedding-with-callum-turner-in-sicily/articleshow/131885390.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. Then, for the pre-wedding reception in Palermo, she stunned in a custom backless Bottega Veneta halter dress featuring the house's signature intrecciato weave and a mermaid skirt of white ostrich feathers. Two looks, two fashion houses, and a global audience wondering: what would she wear for the main event?
Ultimately, it was hardly surprising that she turned to Chanel.

Dua Lipa's relationship with Chanel runs deep. She has been a face of the house, worn archival Chanel to the Met Gala, and counts creative director Matthieu Blazy as a close collaborator<a href="https://www.preview.ph/culture/weddings/dua-lipa-is-a-chanel-haute-couture-bride-a8059-20260621-bsc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. So when it came time for her Sicilian wedding ceremony at the historic Villa Valguarnera, the choice was clear<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/english/hollywood/news/dua-lipas-custom-couture-wedding-gown-wins-the-internet-as-she-shares-intimate-pictures-from-her-wedding-with-callum-turner-in-sicily/articleshow/131885390.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/story/dua-lipa-callum-turner-wedding-chanel-couture" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. What made the moment truly historic was the dress itself: the&nbsp;first Chanel Haute Couture wedding dress designed by Matthieu Blazy for a friend of the house. As Chanel themselves declared, "We are honoured to have dressed her for this very special day".
<h4 class="ds-markdown-paragraph">The Anti-Bride Silhouette</h4>
At first glance, the gown reads as a red-carpet moment rather than a traditional wedding dress — and that's precisely the point. The figure-hugging silhouette features a high halter neckline trimmed with trompe l'oeil jewels, bare shoulders, and a scandalously low back draped with tiers of crystals and pearl-like embroidery<a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a71644439/dua-lipa-chanel-couture-wedding-dress-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/dua-lipa-chanel-haute-couture-custom-wedding-dress-sicily-1239020289/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. From the knees down, the slim-fit column widens into a dramatic trumpet shape, culminating in a two-metre train that adds a sense of occasion without sacrificing the dress's inherently flirty, fun spirit<a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a71644439/dua-lipa-chanel-couture-wedding-dress-photos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. It's revealing, confident, and if it weren't for the pristine white palette, it could easily walk the red carpet.

What sets this dress apart is the sheer scale of craftsmanship behind it. Handcrafted in Chanel’s ateliers at 31 Rue Cambon, the gown represents thousands of hours of labour from the most prestigious Maisons d’art in Paris. The House revealed that the dress alone features 480,000 beads hand‑embroidered by Atelier Montex, along with trompe l’oeil jewels that required 1,155 hours of needlework from Lesage, while the two‑metre train is delicately underlined with 25,000 feathers from Lemarié. The six‑metre tulle veil proved even more extraordinary. Rather than a simple accessory, it became a poetic canvas of birds and flowers, embroidered with beads and feathers and enhanced by hand‑cut organza appliqués. This ethereal piece demanded over 3,000 hours of handwork from both Montex and Lemarié, and when fixed beneath a feathered headpiece that echoed the train’s detailing, it completed a cohesive, breathtaking bridal vision.
To complete the look, Dua Lipa wore custom-made white satin pumps by Massaro, the Chanel-owned shoe atelier<a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/dua-lipa-shares-first-glimpse-at-wedding-to-callum-turner-in-three-day-sicilian-celebration/QSES3TU35RDZLCYSRW6E5GQDZU/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.eonline.com/ca/news/1433183/dua-lipa-callum-turner-reveal-first-official-wedding-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. Her dark hair was slicked back to highlight the open-back construction and jeweled embroidery cascading across her shoulders and waist<a href="https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/dua-lipa-chanel-haute-couture-custom-wedding-dress-sicily-1239020289/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a>. She accessorised with gold Bvlgari jewellery, maintaining her ambassadorial connection to the Italian house throughout her wedding celebrations

From the Schiaparelli civil ceremony to the Bottega Veneta pre-wedding reception and finally this breathtaking Chanel couture creation, Dua Lipa curated one of the most stylish wedding wardrobes in recent memory. Her custom Matthieu Blazy gown will undoubtedly inspire brides for years to come, proving that tradition and innovation can coexist.
