Dua Lipa has returned to the studio after her lavish wedding and honeymoon with Callum Turner, but her fashion choices remain as extravagant as ever. On July 1, 2026, the Grammy winner was photographed leaving Electric Lady Studios in New York City, a legendary recording venue founded by Jimi Hendrix in 1968. While fans anticipate new music, attention quickly turned to the eye-watering cost of her 'casual' work outfit.
Breaking Down the £44,872 Look
At first glance, Dua appeared the ultimate cool girl in frayed denim shorts, a white long-sleeved T-shirt, and a backwards blue baseball cap. However, the accessories told a different story. Her Chanel Maxi flap bag retails at £6,610, and her Chanel ballet flats in burgundy and light blue lambskin cost £950. Together, those items alone total nearly £8,000.
The most expensive piece was her Bulgari Serpenti Seduttori watch, crafted in 18K yellow gold and diamonds, priced at £36,932 on Bulgari's website. A Khaite Benny leather belt added £380. The entire ensemble cost £44,872—more than the average UK annual salary for full-time employees, which is around £39,000 according to recent Office for National Statistics data.
Net Worth and Wedding Expenses
With a net worth of £150 million, the outfit represents pocket money for Dua. Her June wedding to Callum Turner at Marylebone Town Hall was followed by a three-day celebration at Villa Valguarnera in Palermo, Sicily, costing an estimated £1.5 million. The event featured celebrities like Charli XCX and Donatella Versace.
However, the wedding sparked local backlash. Posters and graffiti in Palermo declared the city 'not for rent,' and Dua reportedly paid residents £5,000 each as compensation for the disruption.
