Dua Lipa and Callum Turner made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 Met Gala on Monday, May 5, 2025. The "Dance The Night" singer, 29, and the "Masters of the Air" actor, 35, stepped out together for the first time at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, amid swirling rumors that the two are engaged. Videos shared by PopCulture.com captured the moment as Lipa flaunted a ring on her left ring finger, stunning in a black Chanel gown that featured a plunging V-neck halter with sheer detailing and a feather skirt, perfectly aligned with the gala's theme of "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style."
Keeping her glam relatively pared-down, Lipa styled her hair in a slicked-down sculptural bun to complement the gown's textures. Turner, on the other hand, looked dapper in a custom Louis Vuitton suit, paired with a white tie and black dress shoes accented with white dots, maintaining a simple yet chic aesthetic.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in January 2024, and Lipa confirmed their romance on Instagram in July 2024 when she shared a photo of them in her Glastonbury Festival recap post. Although they have kept their relationship largely private, reports suggest they got engaged in December 2024. Lipa debuted a large diamond ring around the holidays, and she has been spotted wearing the sparkler numerous times since then.
In a recent interview while promoting her album "Radical Optimism," Lipa shared insights into her journey in love, stating, "In terms of relationships, I needed to get to this place in order to find what I really needed." She emphasized the importance of forgiveness and personal growth, noting, "You have to be in the act of forgiveness and growing and learning, and being okay with the past in order to move on with what’s to come next."
Lipa reflected on her past relationships, saying, "I think with every relationship, with every experience you learn about yourself, you learn about things that are hurtful to you, what you expect, what you should be ready to give as well." She identified loyalty, openness, and honesty as her "non-negotiables" in a relationship, underscoring the significance of mutual understanding and vulnerability.
As if her Met Gala appearance wasn't enough, Lipa also showcased her fashion prowess in the days leading up to the event. She was spotted in New York City wearing a complete runway look from Calvin Klein Collection, paired with her beloved Alaïa Le Teckel bag, which retails for $2,250. This cherry red bag, which Lipa first debuted in September 2024, has become a favorite among fashion's elite, proving its status as an icon in just a year.
Before the Met Gala, Lipa was photographed in a professional-looking topcoat styled with an organza pencil skirt, which was completely see-through, layered over black underpants and a charcoal tank top. Her look was completed with patent leather pumps from Paris Texas and wire-frame glasses. Interestingly, this ensemble had been worn by Kendall Jenner during New York Fashion Week, highlighting the interconnected nature of celebrity fashion.
At the Met Gala itself, Lipa's look was a testament to the craftsmanship of Chanel. She wore a custom open-back chiffon dress adorned with a long bow, a black sequin tweed jacket, and an organza cape, all embellished with crystals, pearls, and feathers. The entire ensemble took 2,000 hours to create and featured 45,000 embroidered elements, showcasing the remarkable artistry involved.
Accessorizing her stunning outfit, Lipa opted for Chanel High Jewelry pieces, including a necklace made of 18-karat white gold and diamonds, earrings in white gold and diamonds, and the Tweed Icône Ruban ring in 18-karat white gold, diamonds, and cultured pearls. The inspiration for her look came from dancer and civil rights activist Josephine Baker, with stylist Lorenzo Posocco explaining that Baker embodied the spirit of dandyism, femininity, and fearless expression. Posocco noted, "It really was the perfect match" between Baker's legacy and the essence of Chanel.
Lipa's relationship with Chanel has been longstanding; she previously revealed that she splurged on the Chanel Boy bag after receiving her first paycheck from her record label in 2014. Since then, she has worn Chanel on numerous occasions, including during her "Radical Optimism" tour, where she sported a bodysuit version of a dress originally worn by Christy Turlington on Chanel's spring 1992 catwalk.
While Lipa has been loyal to Chanel, she has not limited herself to one brand during the Met Gala weekend. She was also seen in designs from Willy Chavarria and Calvin Klein, showcasing her versatility and fashion-forward approach. With the 2025 Met Gala marking yet another memorable moment in her fashion journey, Lipa continues to captivate audiences, both with her music and her style.
