Pop star Dua Lipa married actor Callum Turner in an intimate ceremony at Old Marylebone town hall in London on Sunday, wearing an ivory skirt suit that echoed Bianca Jagger's iconic 1971 wedding ensemble. The couple were photographed grinning under confetti, with Turner in a navy suit and Lipa in a Schiaparelli design by Daniel Roseberry, complete with a wide-brimmed hat by British milliner Stephen Jones.
Bianca Jagger shocked the fashion world when she wore a Yves Saint Laurent 'Le Smoking' skirt-suit to marry Mick Jagger, a look considered scandalous at the time for its plunging neckline and trouser-like silhouette. Now, 55 years later, the style has become a favourite among modern brides, with celebrities like Amal Clooney, Emily Ratajkowski, and Zendaya referencing it in recent years.
Lipa's version featured surrealist-inspired buttons, including an evil eye and lion's head, a blush corset, and hip padding for a sculpted shape. She accessorised with white gloves and a six-figure Bulgari Serpenti necklace. The civil ceremony precedes a rumoured three-day celebration in Palermo, Sicily.
Stylist and bridal expert Rosie Boydell-Wiles says the appeal of the bridal suit lies in its nonconformist attitude, allowing brides to express their personality. Henrietta Rix of fashion brand Rixo notes a rise in brides seeking separates, inspired by Jagger's look, which encourages authenticity and confidence on the wedding day.
