She must’ve been hotter than hell.
Dua Lipa dared to brave the early-June Sicilian heat while jump-starting her wedding festivities with fiancé Callum Turner on Friday, sweeping into her welcome party wearing a custom white woven leather dress by Bottega Veneta.
Done in the Italian fashion house’s signature Intrecciato weaving technique, the 30-year-old Grammy winner’s backless halter gown cascaded into a dramatic fringed skirt accented with fluttering feathers.
The bride-to-be accessorized with a matching Bottega Veneta Andiamo clutch ($6,100) adorned with the same ostrich plumes, along with plenty of bling from Bulgari.
Lipa, who’s an ambassador for the jewelry brand, sported a dazzling Tubogas Manchette watch worth over $200,000 on her left wrist. Inspired by a vintage Bulgari design from 1974, the single-coil bracelet is set with colorful citrines, rubellites, peridots, amethysts, topazes and spessartites along with nearly 12 carats of diamonds.
On her right wrist, the musician wore Bulgari’s Serpenti Pallini watch — a snake-inspired rose gold stunner with pear-cut emerald eyes and a pavé diamond head and tail totaling over 24 carats. The price for this second timepiece? Nearly $500,000.
Along with her custom yellow gold engagement ring from Turner, 36, Lipa finished her welcome-party look with one of Bulgari’s Serpenti necklaces, seemingly set with a gigantic colored gemstone.
