Dua Lipa’s Honeymoon Bubble Burst in Rome, and She Ended It Clutching a Phone Case of Paris, Britney and Lindsay

By

Dua Lipa closed out her Italian honeymoon on Friday flashing a phone case printed with the 2006 paparazzi shot of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, the defining tabloid image of the entire decade.

She and Callum Turner were photographed leaving their Rome hotel and loading a £200,000 ($264,000) Porsche 911 Turbo S Cabriolet, with hotel valets stepping in after the couple struggled to fit their designer bags into the trunk. Lipa wore a pale blue headscarf, a fitted vest and low-rise jeans. Turner drove in sunglasses, a straw hat and a light shirt.

A timeline of the honeymoon:

May 31, 2026, London. The couple legally married in an intimate civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall, close family and friends only.

June 5 to 7, 2026, Palermo, Sicily. A three-day star-studded wedding celebration, reported at £1.5 million ($1.9 million), at the 18th-century Villa Valguarnera, known as “little Versailles.” Lipa wore a custom Chanel haute couture gown by Matthieu Blazy with a 25,000-feather train and a cathedral veil that took 3,220 hours to embroider. Elton John performed “Your Song.” Charli XCX and Donatella Versace were guests. The party ran until 6 a.m. and ended with a 10-minute fireworks display. The night before, the couple hosted a cocktail party at Galleria Moderna, with the bride in custom Bottega Veneta.

Early June 2026, Taormina, Sicily. A post-celebration stay at the San Domenico Palace, the clifftop hotel made famous by “The White Lotus” Season 2. The newlyweds were spotted strolling hand in hand along Corso Umberto.

Mid-June 2026, southern Italy. A road-trip-style stretch through Tropea, Bernalda and Matera, with reported stops at Palazzo Margherita, Francis Ford Coppola’s boutique hotel in Bernalda.

June 12 to 13, 2026, Positano. The couple checked into Villa Treville, the 15-suite cliffside estate once owned by Franco Zeffirelli for 35 years, where junior suites start above $5,000 a night in peak season. They were photographed lounging under blue fringed umbrellas on the waterfront terrace, swimming off the rocks at the hotel’s private beach club, and floating on matching pink-and-white inflatable rings in the sea.

Mid-to-late June 2026, Rome. The final stretch of the honeymoon, with evenings near the Trevi Fountain and dinners at a luxury city hotel that hasn’t been publicly named.

June 19, 2026, Rome departure. The Porsche, the valets, the designer luggage, and the Y2K phone case close the trip.

Rome won’t be the longest stretch of their newlywed year. The couple are relocating to the US for seven months while Turner shoots a remake of the 1981 horror “Possession” opposite Margaret Qualley, followed by the baseball drama “The Comebacker,” with Tom Hanks playing his pitching coach.

“We work jobs where we have to go around the world,” Turner told The Hollywood Reporter. “We make sure that we’re together as much as possible.”
