After months of wondering, "Is she, isn't she?," Dua Lipa has finally confirmed she's engaged. That's right, the diamond band she's teased on Instagram since December is, in fact, an engagement ring from her fiancé, Callum Turner.
'Yeah, we're engaged,' she told British Vogue in her cover interview, which dropped on June 12. "It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever—it's a really special feeling."
According to Lipa, Turner custom-made the diamond ring for her, with guidance from her close friends and sister, Rina. "It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well," the newly-engaged star shared.
She's a longtime brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co., but at press time, it's unclear which designer Turner worked with. There's also debate over its exact weight and size. Laura Suttie, Senior Gemologist and Ring Expert at Queensmith identifies the ring as a "2-carat round diamond paired with an approximately 5mm 18k yellow gold band." Meanwhile, Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, appraised it at somewhere between 3- and 4-carats. Regardless of the exact stats, the unconventional style felt so on-brand for her.
If you keep tabs on Lipa's various IG dumps, you know her (no-longer-rumored) engagement ring perfectly aligns with the rest of her jewelry. She's a devoted gold girl, after all. Whether she's on-stage or on vacation, Lipa hardly goes anywhere without oversized bracelets, a signature necklace stack, and mismatched rings, usually from Tiffany & Co.
With that said, Suttie believes her newest addition could inspire a wave of chunky engagement rings. "Thicker bands are a bit of a flex—they're often chosen to support larger diamonds or gemstones while maintaining the ring's structural integrity," Suttie said in a statement. "If lab-grown, it could be valued at approximately $6,000, while a natural diamond would bring the value closer to $47,000."
Lipa's verification via Vogue comes seven months after she first sported the rock on that finger. In true Lipa form, the custom design made its IG debut in a Christmas Eve photo dump. Alongside Moon Boots, a leather bomber jacket, and reindeer antlers, eagle-eye fans spotted the bold band. To be fair, at 2-carats, it would be harder not to pinpoint it.
Since then, the ring has been her most consistent co-star on IG. On May 5, it also joined her at the 2025 Met Gala. The bride-to-be went full gothic glam in a custom black Chanel gown. As she ascended the iconic staircase, all eyes went to her engagement ring, which she layered overtop bedazzled mesh opera gloves. Then, on May 27, she went full bridal mode in a white wedding-ready dress from Jacquemus, with her ring front-and-center. All this to say? She's embracing this new era to the fullest.
As for the actual nuptials, it seems Lipa and Turner have taken a page out of Zendaya and Tom Holland's book of pre-wedding press. "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she told British Vogue. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?''
Now that her secret's out, it's only a matter of time before she wears white again. Who knows? Maybe she'll team up with Chanel for her wedding wardrobe à la Sofia Richie Grainge. It wouldn't be out of the question for the brand ambassador.

'Dream come true' for singer going to Glastonbury
A singer-songwriter says it is a "dream come true" to be performing at Glastonbury. Fiona-Lee, 24, from Howden, East Yorkshire, has been chosen to play at one of the world's biggest music festivals on 26 June. She will perform six songs from her debut EP Nothing Compares to Nineteen on the BBC Introducing stage, alongside several other new British artists. "I've never even been to the festival so the fact that I'm playing is absolutely mental," she said. Fiona said she grew up listening to bands such as Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon and Fleetwood Mac. At the age of 14, Fiona started to teach herself guitar, spending her lunch hours in the music room, even skipping some lessons to pursue her interest. While she described herself as "very shy" in school, she discovered her passion for performing during her first open mic night at the School of Rock in Goole when she was 15. "The reaction from everyone was so nice and positive and it felt so good. "That was the moment I realised it was what I wanted to do and it was such a buzz," she said. She went on to perform in Hull at the age of 17 when she first started to get into the city's music scene. Fiona found out she would be performing at Glastonbury during a gig with BBC Introducing at the end of May. When she was informed on stage, she said she was "just in shock". "Afterwards I ran into the control room and just started jumping up and down and just burst into tears. "All of the presenters could see me through the glass. It was really overwhelming and just made my day," she said. She added: "I'm bringing one of my best mates and it's going to be the best weekend ever." Steve and Bev, Fiona's parents said they were "chuffed" to hear she would be performing at Glastonbury. "Years ago we would be somewhat taken aback at open mic nights. "After Fi had played her set, strangers would come up to congratulate us, shake our hands and enthuse about her. "We would hold our hands up and say that it had nothing to do with us, it's just her," they said. Fiona will also be headlining the BBC Introducing Stage at the Humber Street Festival at Hull Marina in August.

Bezos Wedding Draws Protests, Soul-Searching Over Tourism in Venice
When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former TV presenter Lauren Sanchez get married in Venice next week in a three-day, $10 million bash, they'll be joined not only by fellow celebrities but also by some unwelcome guests: anti-tourism activists determined to disrupt the festivities. 'We will throw ourselves into the water and use inflatables to oppose the event,' said Federica Toninello, a representative of the 'No Space for Bezos' movement, which has announced plans to peacefully block land and water access to the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, which is among the rumored wedding party venues. The protest, she added, would be open to anybody 'who wants to join us to take back our city.'
