Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have made it official. The couple reportedly married in a civil ceremony at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall this past weekend, a venue with a long history of attracting celebrities experimenting with the concept of low-key. As petals and confetti filled the air, paparazzi filled the streets, giving the internet yet another reason to spiral. Not because the couple got married, congratulations to them, genuinely. But because Lipa stepped out in a skirt suit, instantly sending the bridal fashion crowd into overdrive.
Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness. Wishing everyone currently drafting a “The Wedding Dress Is Dead” headline a calm, ashwagandha-assisted week. Apparently, all it takes to bring the bridal skirt suit back from the archives is Dua Lipa. Bridal Fashion Week 2027 already gave us a fairly clear picture of what New York thinks a bride should look like. Skirt suits didn’t exactly dominate the runways, but traditional wedding dresses did lose a little ground. Designers made room for classic tailoring, trailing separates, and, in at least a few cases, low-rise jeans. The season also made one thing clear: not everything worn on the head needs to be a veil.
Lipa chose custom Schiaparelli for her special day. Fair enough, Daniel Roseberry really can do everything. The look paired a sharply tailored blazer, cinched at the waist and finished with surrealist gold buttons, with a skirt that couldn’t quite decide on a length, stopping below the knee in the front and trailing behind at the back. Of course, white gloves, a Bulgari Serpenti necklace, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Stephen Jones wide-brimmed hat lined in gold leaf were all part of it.
The artist’s choice invited endless comparisons to then Bianca Pérez-Mora Macías, now (still) Bianca Jagger, and her 1971 wedding to Mick Jagger. Her look came courtesy of Yves Saint Laurent, a white single-breasted blazer worn bare underneath, matched with a long column skirt and a wide-brimmed hat softened with a veil. Half a century later, and it still holds the room.
