Pop superstar Dua Lipa has offered fans a fresh glimpse into her recent wedding to actor Callum Turner, sharing a new series of intimate photographs.

The 30-year-old singer posted the images on Instagram, simply captioned “Mr and Mrs”, depicting the couple embracing, wrapped in her veil, celebrating with friends, and dancing joyfully.

For these newly released shots, the “Houdini” singer is seen in a white dress and veil, while Fantastic Beasts actor Turner, 36, sports a black Louis Vuitton suit, white shirt, and bow tie.

The couple reportedly exchanged vows in a private ceremony at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall in May, followed by a lavish three-day celebration in Sicily, Italy.

Earlier, Lipa had shared initial photographs, dated “31.05.2026”, showing them holding hands, descending the town hall steps, and with Lipa seated on Turner’s lap, their faces playfully obscured by her wide-brimmed hat.

For that occasion, Lipa donned a tailored ivory blazer, matching skirt, gloves, and pointed heels, complemented by a wide-brimmed hat, while Turner was seen in a sharp navy suit.

Their relationship began in January 2024, with the English-Albanian singer confirming their engagement in a June 2025 interview with British Vogue, following widespread online speculation.

Lipa’s ascent to global stardom began in 2016 with her hit “Be The One”, followed by the equally successful ‘New Rules’ in 2017. Her self-titled debut album reached number three in the UK charts that same year, preceding 2020’s chart-topping Future Nostalgia.

A recipient of multiple Brit Awards and three Grammys, she headlined Glastonbury Festival in 2024, shortly after her third studio album, Radical Optimism, also secured the number one spot on the UK albums chart.

Turner’s acting credits include the historical drama The Capture and the film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma. He is set to appear in the 2025 film Rose of Nevada alongside George MacKay and is widely considered among the bookmakers’ favourites to be the next actor to portray James Bond.
