Pop star Dua Lipa showed how her 31st birthday turned out — the first one she spent as the wife of actor Callum Turner. The celebratory weekend, according to the published photos, was intimate and romantic, and almost simultaneously with her personal shots the singer became the star of the latest issue of Vogue Italia, turning her private celebration into a notable media event of the week.

First Birthday as a Wife

Dua marked her 31st birthday on August 22. In the photos she posted on social media, she showed a walk with her husband through flower fields, their shared selfies, and a funny video in which the artist dunks a ball into a basketball hoop. For her daytime look, the singer paired a white tank top with a black skirt and a crimson sweater, while in the evening she changed into a little black dress with bare shoulders and sheer ruffles.

The festive table was not left out either: Dua showed a cake, ice cream, martinis, and the moment she made a wish before blowing out the candles. "Ready for the next trip around the sun... everything is only getting better," Lipa captioned the photos, emphasizing that this was her first birthday after her wedding to Callum Turner.

Wedding in London and Celebration in Sicily

The context of the celebration is set by the couple's recent wedding: the artist and the actor officially married on May 31 in London, and in early June they held a larger-scale celebration in Sicily. According to Russian media, the wedding celebration cost around two million dollars, making this period one of the most expensive in the star's personal life.

Cover of the September Issue of Vogue Italia

Almost simultaneously with the celebration photos, Vogue Italia presented Dua Lipa on the cover of its September 2026 issue. The photoshoot was by Carolyn Jacobs, and styling was handled by Imru Asha. In the shoot, the artist tried on pieces from Chanel, Balmain, Valentino and other brands: among the looks were a Chanel skirt suit, a Balmain velvet dress with a Fleur du Mal lace bra, and a Valentino couture outfit.

In the accompanying interview, Dua confessed that after finding true love, the direction of her creative work changed as well: now she is more interested not in dramatic breakups, but in the quiet and complex moments of real relationships. Thus, the personal celebration and the professional cover release coincided into a single narrative about a new stage in the singer's life and career.

Contradictory Data

When cross-checking sources, a discrepancy in the chronology of publications was found. The main material (wave.rbc.ua) and the singer's own statement place her 31st birthday on August 22, 2026, and the wedding on May 31, 2026. However, some Russian-language publications (in particular, the gazeta.ru note about the "nude" dress) are dated August 2025 and refer to an earlier event, not the current birthday. To avoid confusion, the article relies on the 2026 dating, consistent with the original source and the artist's statement; the 2025 materials are treated as a separate, preceding event.
