The wedding celebrations of pop star Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner in Sicily have drawn to a close, with guests beginning to depart. Following a lavish reception at Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, the couple's continued stay in Sicily remains private. The superyacht Nero, which was reportedly used for the celebrations, has been observed leaving its mooring at Marina di Villa Igiea, suggesting Lipa and Turner may have spent their nights aboard after leaving Bagheria.
Luxury suites with sea views at the Palermo hotel, which served as the couple's base throughout the weekend, are reportedly booked until at least Monday evening. Meanwhile, other guests have started their journeys home. Elton John and his husband David Furnish were seen departing Palermo via a chartered Bombardier jet, heading to Farnborough in the United Kingdom.
Security personnel remain present around Villa Igiea, though the atmosphere is considerably calmer than earlier in the week when the presence of guests attracted media attention and onlookers, who were managed by staff. Several minivans used for transporting the couple and guests were parked at the hotel. In Bagheria, the organizational team is dismantling the event setup at Villa Valguarnera, with trucks and technical vehicles seen removing equipment used for the party that hosted over 200 guests.
Details of the events inside the villa remain secret. However, glimpses of the celebration included Elton John performing "Your Song" on the piano around 5 p.m. to applause, followed by a fireworks display at 9:15 p.m. Music from a subsequent DJ set was not audible to local residents.
