After months of sparkling speculation spawned by carefully framed Instagram posts, Dua Lipa has officially confirmed her engagement to British actor Callum Turner. The 29-year-old Grammy-winning pop icon shared the news in a recent British Vogue cover story, where she not only expressed her excitement about this new chapter, but also revealed the heartwarming story behind her unconventional, now-famous engagement ring.
“Yes, we’re engaged,” she told British Vogue. “It’s very exciting.”
Turner, 35, reportedly designed the custom ring with thoughtful input from Lipa’s inner circle, including her sister Rina and a handful of her closest friends.
“I’m obsessed with it,” Lipa said. “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.”
Fans first spotted the ring in a December 2024 Instagram post captioned “january things,” where Lipa casually flaunted the diamond-studded band in an in-car selfie. Since then, the bold design has made regular appearances — whether on tour, at the Met Gala or in her glam-filled photo dumps.
The ring itself is a striking departure from traditional celebrity sparklers. Industry insiders describe it as featuring a round brilliant or old European-cut diamond, likely between 3 and 4 carats, set low in a semi- or full-bezel mount on a thick, yellow gold cigar band.
The design has been praised for both its originality and its durability — perfect for someone constantly on the move. Estimated valuations range widely, from $65,000 on the low end to over $250,000, depending on diamond quality.
Lipa, long known for her bold and fashion-forward aesthetic, is no stranger to unconventional choices, and her ring is no exception. Described by some as Etruscan- or gypsy-inspired, the chunky gold band reflects her “gold girl” persona — often seen layering vintage pieces with high-fashion favorites.
The couple met in 2023 and were first seen publicly together in early 2024. They became Instagram-official by the time Lipa headlined Glastonbury in July 2024. According to Lipa, their relationship grew organically after a chance meeting at London’s River Café, followed by another serendipitous run-in in Los Angeles.
“We were reading the same book,” she recalled, calling the moment “a sign.”
As for wedding plans? Not yet. Lipa is currently on her "Radical Optimism" world tour while Turner is filming new projects.
“I’ve never been someone who’s really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be,” she told Vogue. “All of a sudden I’m like, ‘Oh, what would I wear?’”
Until then, Lipa’s stunning gold ring will do all the talking — an elegant symbol of love, intention and personal style.
